At the market, Ms. Winn bought 3/4 lb of grapes and 5/8 lb of cherries.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Part a) Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes

Part b) Ms. Winn bought 10 oz of cherries

Part c) Ms. Winn bought 2 oz more of grapes than cherries

Part d) Mr. Phillips bought 6 more ounces of fruit than Ms. Winn

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many ounces of grapes did Ms. Winn buy?

Remember that

$1\ lb=16\ oz$

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Ms. Winn bought 3/4 lb of grapes

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

$\frac{3}{4}\ lb= \frac{3}{4}(16)=12\ oz$

therefore

Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes

Part b) How many ounces of cherries did Ms. Winn buy?

Remember that

$1\ lb=16\ oz$

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Ms. Winn bought 5/8 lb of cherries

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

$\frac{5}{8}\ lb= \frac{5}{8}(16)=10\ oz$

therefore

Ms. Winn bought 10 oz of cherries

Part c) How many more ounces of grapes than cherries did Ms. Winn buy?

Subtract the ounces of cherries from the ounces of grapes

$12\ oz-10\ oz=2\ oz$

therefore

Ms. Winn bought 2 oz more of grapes than cherries

Part d) If Mr. Phillips bought 1 3/4 pounds of raspberries, who bought more fruit, Ms. Winn or Mr. Phillips? How many ounces more?

Remember that

$1\ lb=16\ oz$

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Mr. Phillips bought 1 3/4 pounds of raspberries

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$1\frac{3}{4}\ lb=\frac{1*4+3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}\ lb$

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

$\frac{7}{4}\ lb= \frac{7}{4}(16)=28\ oz$

Remember that

Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes and 10 oz of cherries

In total Ms. Winn bought

12 oz+10 oz=22 oz -----> total ounces of fruit

Mr. Phillips bought 28 oz of fruit

Ms. Winn bought 22 oz of fruit

$28\ oz > 22\ oz$

Find the difference

$(28\ oz-22\ oz)=6\ oz$

therefore

Mr. Phillips bought 6 more ounces of fruit than Ms. Winn

Plzz help. Giving everything.<br> D. 24.5

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

$\frac{8}{14} = \frac{14}{x+2}$ (since they're similar, set them up as a proportion to find x)

14*14 = 8(x+2) (cross multiply, solve the left side, and distribute the right side)

196 = 8x +16 (subtract 16 from both sides)

180 = 8x (divide both sides by 8)

x= 22.5 (is your answer, or C)

What is the exponents <br>

zmey [24]

The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.

For Example, In 8² , the 2 is the number of times 8 has to be multiplied. In this case It has to multiplied by itself 2 times, 8x8 = 64 so 8² = 64.
Another example is 9³ since the number above is 3 we have to multiply 9 three times, 9x9x9 = 729 which means 9³ = 729.

Hope this helps
