To multiply whole numbers and fractions, multiply the numerator by the whole number. Example: 1/3×4= 4/3=1 1/3
<span>1. </span><span>A penny weighs about 0.1 oz.
Now, we need to find the weights of pennies in pounds
=> always remember that in every 1 oz, there is 0.0625 pounds.
Since 0.1 is 1/10 of 1 oz, we need to find the value of it in pounds.
=> 0.0625 pounds / 10
=> 0.0625 pounds.
Therefore, in 0.1 oz of penny is
equivalent to 0.00625 pounds.
In problem like this, before determining the answer, you need to make sure that
both unit of measurements are the same. If not, then try to convert.</span>
Answer:
<u>a = 13</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
We should know that: The sum of the interior angles of the triangle = 180°
Given the measure of the angles: (6a - 2) , (5a - 13) and (5a - 13)
So,
(6a - 2) + (5a - 13) + (5a - 13) = 180°
16 a - 28= 180 ⇒ Add 28 to both sides
16 a = 180 + 28 = 208 ⇒ Divide both sides by 16
a = 208/16 = 13
We know that 172 of them were wood, so the rest are metal. To find that number we do:
276 - 172 = 104 metal pins.
To find the percentage that they were metal, take the number of metal pins and divide by the total number of pins:
104/276 is about 0.3768.
Multiply this by 100:
37.68
So, the percent of metal pins is 37.68%.
