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 \[\frac{ 250 }{ 8.8 }=\frac{ grams }{ Ounces}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but don't forget the units. So it's 312.5 ounces.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Grams, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnx:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, I'm moving on. You should be able to answer your second question on your own with the information I gave you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your welcom
