The first question use proportions to solve. \[\frac{ 250 }{ 8.8}=\frac{ x }{ 11}\] Solve for x. See if you can do the second one \[\frac{ 250 }{ 8.8 }=\frac{ grams }{ Ounces}\]
Yes, but don't forget the units. So it's 312.5 ounces.
Grams, sorry
The second problem can be solved adding the three ratios to find the total number of parts that equal 136. So you have 3+5+9=17 So the length of first section is:\[\frac{ 3 }{ 17 }=\frac{ x }{ 136 }\]Solve for x The second section is \[\frac{ 5 }{ 17 }=\frac{ x }{ 136}\] solve for x The third section I'll let you do.
Where do you think you should put the 1000 grams in the proportion? The units in a proportion are going to be in the same position on both sides of the equation.
yes
Yes
thnx:)
OK, I'm moving on. You should be able to answer your second question on your own with the information I gave you.
Your welcom
Yes, you see you can do this.
