Answer
Find out the how many pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore .
To proof
let us assume that the pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore be x .
As given
In an ore, 9.8% of its total weight is metal.
ore weight = 1,950 lb
9.8% is written in the decimal form
= 0.098
Than the equation becomes
x = 0.098 × 1950
x = 191.1 pounds
Therefore the 191.1 pounds of metal are in 1,950 lb of ore .
Hence proved
Answer:
The question is asking which numbers are larger with respect to one another. An easy way to do this is to convert to decimals, or just memorize it. 1/2=0.5, 3/4=0.75, 2/3=0.666666. So descending order (largest to smallest) 3/4, 2/3, 1/2.
Multiply number of gallons by 16 (because 16 oz/ 1 gallon).
The equation of the graph is given as y = (2/5)x - 5.
You have to figure out which of the choices equals the equation given,
y = (2/5)x - 5.
You could solve each of the answer choices for y, but since each choice is in the format x - (m)y = b, you can put the given equation in that format too.
If you cannot read it, let me know.
