Lynn bought a bag of grapefruit 1 5/8 pounds of apples to + 3/16 pounds of bananas the total weight of her purchase with 7 1/2 pounds how much did the bag of grapefruit way

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Let us assume the weight of grapefruit = x pounds
Weight of the apples = 1 5/8 pounds
                                   = 13/8 pounds
Weight of the bananas = 3/16 pounds
The total weight of her purchase = 7 1/2 pounds
                                                     = 15/2 pounds
Then we get the equation as
x + 13/8 + 3/16 = 15/2
16x + 26 + 3 = 16 * (15/2)
16x + 29 = 8 * 15
16x + 29 = 120
16x = 120 - 29
16x = 91
x = 91/16
So the weight of the grapefruit is 91/16 pounds. It can also be written
as 5 11/16 pounds

There are 26 baseball teams in the league. Each team has 18 players. Write a number sentence that will provide a reasonable estimate for the number of players in the league. Explain how you found your estimate

Answers

since one team has 18 players, and there are 26 teams, so it would be 26 times 18 which is 468 players

A delivery truck with a 400-pound weight limit is transporting televisions & microwaves. Define variables & write an inequality for this situation. Will the truck be able to deliver 35 televisions & 25 microwaves at once? Write two possible solutions to the inequality. Are there solutions that make the inequality mathematically true, but are not reasonable in the context of the problem? Explain.

Answers

So the inequality would be 77x+55y≤4000. x is the number of TV's and y is the number of microwaves. For the second part plug in 35 for x and 25 for y. So you get 77×35+55×25≤4000.
2625+1375≤4000
4000=4000 so the answer to that part is yes.
One unreasonable solution is (0,0) (TV's,microwaves) because that would mean the truck is empty. Another one is (1,71) because that would be only one TV and 71 microwaves.

D’Quan’s grandmother made a quilt for his bed. The quilt is2.44 meters long and 1.83 meters wide. What is the area of the quilt in
square feet?

Answers

One Square Meter= 10.764 Square Feet.
The total area of the quilt in meters is 4.465m^(2)
As you're looking for square feet, you've then got to multiply this by 10.764
4.465*10.764= 48.06086 square feet.
Rounded, this is 48.06 square feet.
Hope this helps :) 
2.44 * 1.83 = 4.4652 m^2 ;
4.4652 * 10.7639 = 48.0629 square feet ;
Rounded, 48.06 square feet.
