Ink cartridges weigh 1/8 pound. the total weight of the cartridges in a box is 4 1/2 pounds. how many cartridges does the box contain? show your work and explain why you chose the operation you did.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: There are 36 cartridges that box contain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Weight of ink cartridges = (1)/(8) pounds

Total weight of the cartridges in a box = 4(1)/(2)=(9)/(2)\ pounds

so, Number of cartridges that box contain is given by

(9)/(2)/ (1)/(8)\n\n=(9)/(2)* (8)/(1)\n\n=9* 4\n\n=36

Hence, there are 36 cartridges that box contain.

Answer 2
Answer: 1/8x=4.5x (x is the number of cartridges)
Multiply both sides by 8
x=36
The box contains 36 cartridges.

What is the ratio 8 to 72 expressed as a fraction in simplest form

Answers


8/72 then you simplify then 8 and 72 are both divisible by 8 so 8÷8=1 and 72÷8=9 so your simplified fraction for the ratio 8/72, is 1/9
8 and 72 are both divisible by 8 and 8 divided by 8 =1and 72divided by 8=9 so now you have to simplfy your fraction so when you simplfy your fraction it should look like this 1/9.

What the circumference of the base?

Answers

The formula for the circumference of a circle is:

C = 2πr

The radius (r) is half of the diameter, so to find the radius just divide the diameter by two...

radius = 20 ÷ 2

radius (r) = 10 m

Plug in what you know into the formula for the circumference:

C = 2π(10)

C = 20π

The exact circumference is: 20π m

The approximate circumference is: 63 m

The sum of 5 consecutive odd integers is 2,555. What is the sum of the first, third, and last integer?

Answers

Answer:

The sum of the first, third, and last integer is 1533.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: You need to create a equation first:

n + n + 2 + n + 4 + n + 6 + n + 8 = 2555

How did I make the equation?

If n is odd number, n + 2 must be the consecutive odd number

5 , 5 + 2 , 5 + 4 , 5 + 6 , 5 + 8

5, 7, 9, 11, 13  ALL CONSECUTIVE ODD NUMBERS

Step 2: Simplifying the equation

n + n + 2 + n + 4 + n + 6 + n + 8 = 2555

5n + 20 = 2555

Step 3: Solving the equation, with explanation

5n + 20 = 2555       Subtract 20 on both sides

        5n = 2535        Isolate the variable by dividing 5 on both sides

          n = 507

Step 4: Plug in the value

n + n + 2 + n + 4 + n + 6 + n + 8

507,  507 + 2 , 507 + 4 , 507 + 6 , 507 + 8

507, 509, 511, 513, 515

Step 5:  Solve the sum of the first, third, and last integer

507 + 511 + 515 = 1533

Step 6: THE ANSWER

1533
