If a kitten weighs 4 pounds what is the approximate mass of the kitten in kilograms

b. Sixty-five pounds of candy was divided into four different boxes. The second box contained twice the amount of the first box.

Ainat [17]

First box = 14 pounds

Second box = 2x = 28 pounds

Third Box = x+2= 16 pounds

Fourth box = x/2 = 7 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , Sixty-five pounds of candy was divided into four different boxes. The second box contained twice the amount of the first box. The third box contained two more pounds than the first box. The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box. We need to find How much candy was in each box. Let's find out:

We have a total of 65 pounds of candy ! Let in first box we have x pounds so , second box contained twice the amount of the first box i.e.

⇒ $2x$

The third box contained two more pounds than the first box i.e.

⇒ $x+2$

The last box contained one-fourth the amount in the second box i.e.

⇒ $(\frac{1}{4})2x = \frac{x}{4}$

Therefore , Sum of pounds of candy are :

⇒ $\frac{x}{2} +x+2+2x+x=65$

⇒ $\frac{x}{2} +4x=63$

⇒ $\frac{9x}{2}=63$

⇒ $x=63(\frac{2}{9} )$

⇒ $x=14$

Therefore , Candy in each box is :

First box = 14 pounds

Second box = 2x = 28 pounds

Third Box = x+2= 16 pounds

Fourth box = x/2 = 7 pounds

Negation of all owls fly?

Reptile [31]

Looking at this in terms of sets, let's call O the set of all owls, and F the set of all things that can fly. What this original statement is saying every animal that's a member of the set of all owls is also a member of the set of all things that can fly, or in other words, O⊂F (O is a subset of F). Negating this tells us that, while there's at least one element of O that also belongs to F, O is not contained entirely in F (O⊆F, in notation), so a good negation or our original statement might be:

Not all owls can fly.
