Answer:
<h2>
6 1/2 lbs</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the weight of granite to be 74 26/36 lbs,
Weight of quartz is 81 9/40 lbs.
To know how much more quartz weight than the granite, we will take the difference between the weight of quartz and granite as shown.
Weight of quartz - Weight of granite
= 81 9/40 - 74 26/36
= 3,249/40 - 2690/36
= (29, 241 - 26,900)/360
= 2,341/360
= 6 181/360
≈ 6 1/2 lbs
quartz weighs approximately 6 1/2 lbs much more than granite
Yes, both of your answers are correct.
Since Death Valley is below sea level, the hiker increases altitude before stopping at 0 feet.
Percent of increase is given by the formula (amount of change)/(original amount) * 100. Your work is accurate.
Moving the decimal point one place is a factor of ten; two places is a factor of 100
So 100.
NB; three places would be 1000
D = T2 - T1
d = 9 - 14
d = - 5
T40 = 14 + 39(-5)
= 14 - 195
= - 181
