Answer 3

if 100 samples ---> 0.01 lbs
then 1000 samples ---> x?

ok..hmm

Answer 5

100x = 1000(0.01)
x = 1000(0.01)/100 ^_^

Answer 6

100x=0.01. Therefore, x=0.01/100=0.0001

Answer 26

it says the weight of 1000 samples is one pound. to find the weight of 1 sample we divide 1 by 1000. ---> weight of 1 sample = 1 divided by 1000= 0.0001 The weight of 10 samples is 10 times this amount. weight of 10 samples = 10xweight of one sample ___> 10x0.0001=0.01 pound.

Answer 37

and im sure thats the question this time LOL

Answer 38

do it the same way I solved the previous question:

if 1000 drops --->10fl
10 drops -----> x?

cross multiply and solve for x ^_^ try

Answer 39

like 1000/10 X 10/x ?

Answer 40

lol no, cross multiply and you'll get:

1000x = 10(10)
x = 100/1000
x = 0.1 ^_^

Answer 41

draw an X between them and you'll get 10(10) = (1000)x

Answer 42

^_^ did you get it?

Answer 43

yeah but im not sure why u divide 100/1000

Answer 44

to solve for x, you have :

1000x = 100 right?
now get x alone and we do that by dividing both sides by 1000

x = 100/1000 :)
