Answer:

70kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, because nothing else changed about the treasure chest apart from the amount of treasure when the mass increased, the difference in mass must be the mass of the 1/4 chest of treasure which was added.

712 - 498 = 214kg

Now that we know that 1/4 chest's worth of treasure has a mass of 214kg, we can multiply this by 2 to find the mass of 1/2 a chest of treasure (without the chest):

214 x 2 = 428 kg

We now know that since 1/2 a chest of treasure has a mass of 428kg, the difference between the mass of the chest AND treasure when it is half full must be the mass of the box:

498 (mass of chest and 1/2 chest worth of treasure) - 428 (mass of just 1/2 chest worth of treasure only) = 70kg (mass of chest only)

We can check this by using the other given mass as well. 214 x 3 = 642kg

This means 3/4 of a chest's worth of treasure only, has a mass of 642kg, meaning the extra mass in the 712kg must be the mass of the chest:

712 - 642 = 70kg

The chest has a mass of 70kg.

Hope this helped!

Riley adds 45.3 and 3.21 should his sum be greater than or less than 48 tell how you know

Romashka [77]

His sum should be more than 48.

I know because if you throw away the decimal pieces
and just add up the whole numbers 45 and 3 ,
right there you would have 48 . So when you include
the decimal pieces, they'll make it even bigger.

The ages of two brothers are in the ratio two to three, but in eight years, the ratio of their ages will be three to four. What

Darina [25.2K]

X = older brother
y = younger brother

Equation 1: x/y = 2/3 ⇒ x = 2y/3
Equation 2: x + 8/y + 8 = 3/4

$( \frac{2y}{3} + 8) / y +8 = \frac{3}{4}$
$(2y + 24)/3 = y + 8 = \frac{3}{4}$
$2y + 24 = 3 (y + 8) = \frac{3}{4}$
$2y + 24 = 3y + 24 = \frac{3}{4}$
$4 (2y + 24) = 3 (3y + 24)$
$8y + 96 = 9y + 72$
$y = 24$

The age of the older brother is 24.

$x = \frac{2y}{3} = \frac{2*24}{3}$
$x = \frac{48}{3}$
$x = 16$

The age of the youngest brother is 16.
