Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

36 inches of cable weighs 0.68 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

1178 ft cable weighs 266 lbs...and u want to know how many lbs a 36 inch cable weighs....

we need to turn ur ft to inches....1 ft = 12 inches....so 1178 ft = (1178 * 12) = 14,136 inches

14136 in. to 266 lbs = 36 in.to x lbs

14136 / 266 = 36 / x...cross multiply

14136x = (36)(266)

14136x = 9576

x = 9576 / 14136

x = 0.6774 rounds to 0.68 lbs <===

Please help! What is the value of B in the following proportion? 11/12 = B/156
A. 24
B. 143
C. 134
D. 170

Answers

Answer:

B. 143

Step-by-step explanation:

11 b

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

12 156

using cross products

11 * 156 = 12 b

divide by 12

11 * 156/12 = b

11 * 13 = b

143 = b

B.143

step by step:
$(11)/(12) = (b)/(156)$
use cross multiplication
$12 * b = 11 * 156$
$12b = 1716$
divide both sides by 12
$(12b = 1716)/(12)$
$b = 143$

20.8KGs equals 20L, what is 10.5 kgs in litres

Answers

y = k x

20.8 kg = 20L
10.5 kg = ?L

Independent variable (y) : 20.8 kg
Dependent variable (x) : 20L

Find k, or a number that will be multiplied to the dependent variable to produce the independent variable.

20.8 kg = k (20L)
20.8 kg ÷ 20L = k
k = 1.04

Use k to find the dependent variable in the second set of items.

10.5 kg = (1.04) x
10.5 kg ÷ 1.04 = x

The answer would be:
10.1L
