If one basket contains five bottles each weighing 7 1/4 and the other basket has six apples each weighing 6 1/2 ounces. Which basket is heavier and by how much ?

Answer:

The basket of bottles weighs more than the basket of apples by $3\frac{3}{4}$ ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Bottles = 5$

$Weight(Bottle) = 7\frac{1}{4}$

$Apples = 6$

$Weight(Apple) = 6\frac{1}{2}$

Required

Determine which basket is heavy

and by how much?

First, we need the total weight of each basket.

For the bottles' basket

$Total\ Weight = Weight * Bottles$

$Total\ Weight = 7\frac{1}{4} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{29}{4} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{29 * 5}{4}$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{145}{4}$

$Total\ Weight = 36\frac{1}{4}$

For the bottles' basket

$Total\ Weight = Weight * Apples$

$Total\ Weight = 6\frac{1}{2} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{13}{2} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{13* 5}{2}$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{65}{2}$

$Total\ Weight = 32\frac{1}{2}$

By comparing both total weights, $36\frac{1}{4} > 32\frac{1}{2}$

Hence:

The basket of bottles weighs more than the basket of apples

Calculating the difference:

$Difference = 36\frac{1}{4} - 32\frac{1}{2}$

$Difference = \frac{145}{4} - \frac{65}{2}$

$Difference = \frac{145 - 130}{4}$

$Difference = \frac{15}{4}$

$Difference = 3\frac{3}{4}$

Hence:

It weighs more by $3\frac{3}{4}$ ounces

Please help cause I don’t know how to do this

zalisa [80]

Answer:

4 GB

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "g" represent the number of gigabytes of data used. Then the phone bill is computed as ...

bill = 65 + 12g

Aurora's bill is 113, so we can put that value into the equation and solve for g.

113 = 65 + 12g

48 = 12g . . . . . . subtract 65 from both sides of the equation

4 = g . . . . . . . . . divide both sides of the equation by 12

Aurora used 4 gigabytes of data in September.

_____

You can also use your mathematical reasoning to solve this problem. The total bill consists of two charges: a fixed charge of 65 and a charge that depends on data. If you subtract the fixed charge from the bill, you find that the charge that depends on data is 113-65 = 48.

The data charge is 12 times the number of gigabytes. The data charge on the bill is 48, which is 12 times 4. Then the number of gigabytes is 4.

There are 3 red balls, 5 green balls, and 1 yellow ball in a hat. If you draw the yellow ball, you gain $10. If you draw any of

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

19.44

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

3 red balls, 5 green balls, and 1 yellow ball

In total there are 3 + 5 + 1 = 9 balls.

We calculate the probability of each:

Network: 3/9

Green: 5/9

Yellow: 1/9

Each one corresponds a price in profit or losses:

Network: 4

Green: -3

Yellow: 10

So in total it would be the sum of the multiplication of the probability and the price and then multiply everything by 25:

(4 * 3/9 + -3 * 5/9 + 10 * 1/9) * 25 = (0.777) * 25

= 19.44
