The double number line shows the approximate number of ounces in a certain number of pounds: Based on the number line, about how many ounces are there in 8 pounds? 128 ounces 144 ounces 160 ounces 176 ounces
here is the number line
Ok so we to extend the number line, do you know how to do this?
um.....
ok I'll explain it to your then
what is the difference between each number on the number in the ounces line
ok so for ounces each plot goes up 16 everytime
so we would expand the plot by adding 16 to the last number they gave us
88 + 16 = ?
104!
ok good
now for pounds to go up that would be easy because there only 1 apart, so what 6 + 1
7
good now we've got to go up each number line one more time
so whats 104 + 16
120
good and 7+1
8
good now lets look at our numberline now
and as u can tell 8 pounds lands in the middle of 120 and the next number on the line
so we have to divide 16 then add that total to 120, then we will have our answer
so whats 16 divided by 2
to write it out in an equation you would do 16 / 2 = x x + 120 = ?
u there @Alfagg
yeah
i am in a zoom
oh ok
so u know what 16 / 2 is or?
you know what its a simple question, I'll just give you the answer 16 / 2 = 8
then you just have to add 120 + 8 and then you have your answer
and 120 + 8 = 128
so that is your answer :)
hope I helped, buh-bye :D
