Answer:

The wingspan of a pelican is 1 8/15 feet longer than the wingspan of an eagle.

(1 whole 8/15 feet)

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll need to find a common denominator for the fractions. 15 is the lowest number divisible by both 5 and 3, so we'll use 15. For this problem, it's also easier to convert to improper fractions, in my opinion.

Pelican:

8 1/5 = 41/5

41/5 x 3/3 = 123/15

Eagle:

6 2/3 = 20/3

(20/3) x (5/5) = 100/15

Find the difference:

123/15 - 100/15 = 23/15 = 1 8/15

The weight of an object on the moon varies directly with its weight on the earth. If an object weighing 95 lbs on the moon weigh

Luda [366]

ANSWER

450lb

EXPLANATION

If the weight, m of an object on the moon varies directly as the weight of an object e, on the earth, then we can write the mathematical statement,.
$m \propto \: e$
We introduce the constant of proportionality to obtain,

$m = ke$

When, m=95, e=570,

This implies that,

$95 = 570k$
$k = \frac{95}{570}$

$k = \frac{1}{6}$

The equation now becomes,

$m = \frac{1}{6} e$

We want to find e, when m=2700,

$m = \frac{1}{6} \times 2700$

$m =450lb$
