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!

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Marta

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

50+\frac{1}{2}m=120

We have to find who is correct and explain.

We know that

Equation: It is mathematical sentence that combines  numbers and variables which shows the equality of two expressions.

Example:

x+y=3

Expression: It is mathematical phrase that combines  numbers and variables

using mathematical operators.It can be evaluated but not solved.

Example:

x+y

By definitions

50+\frac{1}{2}m=120

It is in equation form.

Therefore, Marta is correct.
