Question

Can someone please help me

Convert as indicated. 5 lb to grams

A. 2100.0 g

B. 2270.0 g

C. 2325.0 g

D. 2240.0 g

Answer 1

Do you know how many grams there are in a lb?

Answer 2

1 lb = 453.592 g

Answer 3

I got B but i got it wrong

Answer 4

so am kind of confuse

Answer 5

\[453.592*5=2267.96 \approx B.\]

Answer 6

that's what I got but they mark it wrong don't know why

Answer 7

that's weird..

Answer 8

it sure is

Answer 9

\( 1 ~lb \approx 0.454 ~g\)

Multiply both sides by 5:

\( 5 \times 1 ~lb \approx 5 \times 0.454 ~g\)

\( 5 ~lb \approx 2270.0 ~g\)

B is correct. It's the closest to the exact number.

Answer 10

I know but when I submit my test i got it wrong

Answer 11

can't really help you there :/

Answer 12

:(

Answer 13

ask your teacher maybe?

Answer 14

Maybe you should be grading the test instead of having your test graded.

Answer 15

Answer 17

am about to just guess any other answer

Answer 18

kk good idea

Answer 19

can some one help me with this

Answer 20

???

Answer 21

i got it thanks

Answer 22

The figures are similar. Find the length of the missing side indicated with an x or y.



A. x = 7.2; y = 3.9

B. x = 6.3; y = 3.6

C. x = 6.3; y = 3.9

D. x = 1.24; y = 3.6

Answer 23

need help with this problem please anyone?

Answer 24

In the future, start a new post for each new problem.

Answer 25

Since the triangles are similar, the lengths of corresponding sides are in proportion.
That means the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

You need one pair of corresponding sides that will tell you what that ratio is.

Looking at the figure, you see that:
Side y corresponds to side 8.1.
Side 2.8 coprresponds to side x.
Side 2.4 corresponds to side 3.4.

The only pair of corresponding sides that has given lengths of both sides is the pair
2.4 and 3.4

That tell us the ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides is

\( \dfrac{2.4}{3.4} \)

We also have the ratios:

\( \dfrac{y}{8.1} \) and \( \dfrac{2.8}{x} \)

If you set up proportions using the known ratio and each one of the ratios containiong an unknown length, then you'll have two proportions to solve, and you'll be able to find x and y.

\( \dfrac{2.4}{3.4} = \dfrac{y}{8.1} \)

Solve for y.


\( \dfrac{2.4}{3.4} = \dfrac{2.8}{x} \)

Solve for x.
