We would be using conversion rates and dimensional analysis to solve this question.

The average weight of the chimpanzee in pounds is 114.73 lb

Step 1: 1 kg = 1000 g

Convert 52 kg to grams

1 kg = 1000g

52 kg = ?

Cross Multiply

52 kg x 1000g / 1 kg

= 52,000g

Step 2: Convert from grams to ounce

1 gram = 0.0353 ounce

52,000 g = ?

Cross Multiply

52,000g x 0.0353

= 1,835.60 ounces

Step 3: Convert from 0unces to pounds

16 oz = 1 lb

1835.6 = ?

Cross Multiply

1835.6 oz x 1 lb / 16

= 114.73 lb

Step 4: Using Dimensional analysis:

52 kg x  1000g/1 kg  x  0.0353 oz/ 1 gram  x  1 lb/16 0z  

= 114.73 lb

Therefore, the average weight of the chimpanzee in pounds is 114.73 lb.

Let B be between a and C use the segment addition postulate to solve for W
fomenos

Answer:

Value of w = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AB= 4w-4

BC = 2w-8

AC = 24

Find:

Value of w

Computation:

AB + BC = AC

4w - 4 + 2w - 8 = 24

6w - 12 = 24

6w = 24 + 12

6w = 36

w = 6

Value of w = 6

Kai spent 90% of his money on a laptop that cost $423. Does he have enough money left to buy a scanner.explain
GarryVolchara [31]
Okay, so:

You would want to find what 1/10 of the laptop costs. That would be the 10% of money left in Kai's account.

So,

423*.1

(you have to turn the percentage into a decimal; 10%= .10


423*.1= 42.3

So, Kai has 42.3 dollars left to buy a scanner. He only has 10% of his bank account left to spend on the scanner.

I hope this helps!
