Answer:

18.75 or 18 3/4 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We just have to multiply 11 1/4 and 1 2/3 to get the product, 18.75 or 18 3/4.

First we have to translate our fractions into decimals:

11.25 (11 1/4) and 1.166667 (1 2/3)

multiply:

11.25 x 1.166667 = 18.75

convert back to fraction:

18 3/4

Hope This helps! Good Luck! If you have any questions please ask me, I would me more than happy to help you understand this method. If you are doing it a different way, I can help with that too.

The formula I = PRT is used to calculate the amount of simple Teresa earned. Solve this formula for T

Dmitrij [34]

To solve this formula for T, divide both sides of the original equation by PR:

I PRT

------ = --------- => T = I / (PR)

PR PR

Please note: Because the formula I = PRT involves neither addition nor subtraction, the final formula for T cannot involve either addition nor subtraction. That leaves:

T = I P/R

T= IPR

The second formula here is incorrect; we cannot solve I = PRT for T simply by rearranging the order of the variables. This leaves T = I P/R as a possible answer, but this answer does not agree with my T = I / (PR). Please double check to ensure that you have copied down the four possible answers correctly.
