Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>♤ Given Question:-</h3>

To solve for x

<h3>♤ Given Equation:-</h3>

2(x−1)=5(x−2)

<h3>♤ Solution:-</h3>

2(x - 1) = 5(x - 2)

=> 2 × x - 2 × 1 = 5 × x - 5 × 2 [Distributive property]

=> 2x - 2 = 5x - 10 [Simplification]

=> 5x - 2x = 10 - 2 [Bringing like terms on one side]

=> 3x = 8 [Simplification]

$= > x = \frac{8}{3}(ans)$

One cubic meter of water weighs approximately 2200 pounds. There are 100 cm in one meter. If you have a box-shaped fish tank tha

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

158.4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the volume of the tank

$V = 30 \times 30 \times 80$

$V = 72000 cm^3$

to convert this to m^3 we know that 1m = 100cm

$V = 72000 cm^3 \times \left(\dfrac{1\,\text{m}}{100\,\text{cm}}\right)^3$

$V = 72000 cm^3 \times \left(\dfrac{1\,\text{m}^3}{100^3\,\text{cm}^3}\right)$

the cm^3 cancel out.

$V = \dfrac{72000}{100^3} m^3$

$V = 0.072\,m^3$

by simply converting the side-lengths to meters beforehand can give you this answer directly:

$V = 0.3 \times 0.3 \times 0.8 = 0.072 m^3$

it is given that 1 meter cube of water weighs about 2200 pounds.

$1\,m^3 = 2200 \,\text{lb}$

multiply both sides with 0.072 to find our answer:

$1\,m^3 \times 0.072 = 2200 \times 0.072 \,\text{lb}$

$0.072\,m^3 = 158.4 \,\text{lb}$

hence the weight of the water in the tank would be 158.4 pounds!

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

94 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up and solve an equation of ratios:

wingspan length

60 meters 70.5 m

----------------- = ----------------

80 cm x

Cross multiplying:

(60 m)x = (70.5 m)(80 cm)

Solve for x by dividing both sides of this equation by 60 m:

x = (70.5 m)(80 cm) / (60 m) = 94 cm

The length of the model should be 94 cm.
