Hi!
We will solve this using ratios, like this:
1 shelf holds 45 pounds
x shelves hold 270 pounds
______________________
x = (270*1)/45
x = 270/45
x = 6
6 shelves will be needed to hold 270 pounds of boxes.
Hope this helps!
19.164 can be rounded to 19.2. That is because 0.164 is closer to 0.2 than it is to 0.1
9.53 rounded the the nearest tenth is 9.5 because 0.53 is closer to 0.5 than it is to 0.6.
19.2 - 9.5 = 9.7
Your answer is 9.7
The total amount is 0.75 inches or 3/4 inches.
Let s represent the number of sales, and t the total pay
the equation to represent this situation is t = 2s + 50
so set t to 100, and solve for s
100 = 2s + 50
50 = 2s
25 = s
you need to make at least 25 sales
