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.

Basile [38]
2,640 this year
2,112 last year

the 1760 is 20% less than - so 120% of 1760 is the previous year:
1760 * 1.2 = 2112

2112 increased by 25% is a total of 125%: 
2112 *1.25 = 2640

Answer:

  1. Parallel
  2. Neither parallel nor perpendicular ​
  3. Perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given line m:</u>

  • y = 4/5x - 3

<u>Relationship of line m with following lines:</u>

1.<u> y = 4/5x + 3</u>

  • Same slope, different y-intercept
  • Parallel

2. <u>y = -4/5x + 3</u>

  • Slope are negative, different y-intercept
  • Neither parallel nor perpendicular ​

3. <u>y = - 5/4x + 3</u>

  • Slopes are negative-reciprocal, different y-intercept
  • Perpendicular
