Answer:
2kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sum of the other 2 bricks be R. Given that the heaviest brick weighs 2/3 times as much as the other 2 bricks in total, then the weight of the heaviest brick H in terms of the weight of the other 2 will be
H = 2/3 * R
= 2R/3
Given that the 3 bricks weigh 5kg in total then,
2R/3 + R = 5
Multiply through the equation by 3
2R + 3R = 15
5R = 15
Divide both sides by 5
R = 15/5
= 3
The weight of the heaviest brick is 2R/3. Since R = 3, the heaviest block weighs
= 2 * 3/3
= 2kg
Answer:
3.05 or 31/2 pounds
56 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total weight all the weights have to have the same units of measurements
It is either pounds is converted to ounces or ounces is converted to pounds
1. convert ounces to pound
1 ounce = 0.0625
12 ounces = 0.0625 x 12 = 0.75 pounds or 3/4
add together = 1 1/2 + 3/4 + 1 1/4 = 
=
= 3 1/2
2. 16 ounces = 1 pound
flour = 16 x 1 1/2 = 24
sugar = 16 x 1 1/4 = 20
total = 24 + 20 + 12 = 56 ounces
A^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2 + 15^2 = 17^2
64 + 225 = 289
289=289
It is a triangle because the numbers match the Pythagorean Theorem.
Answer:
5 drahms.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
120 grains = 6 scruples
6 scruples = 2 drahms
300 grains (in drahms) =..?
From the above data,
120 grains = 6 scruples
6 scruples = 2 drahms
Therefore,
120 grains = 2 drahms
Thus, we can obtain 300 grains in drahms as follow:
120 grains = 2 drahms
Therefore,
300 grains = 300 grains × 2 drahms /120 grains
300 grains = (300 × 2)/120 drahms
300 grains = 5 drahms
Therefore, 300 grains is equivalent to 5 drahms.
