1. JP Construction is building a rectangular children's wading pool for the local community center. The pool will be 4.5 meters wide. To meet city building code guidelines, the area of the pool must not be larger than 8 square meters. Which inequality represents the possible lengths of the wading pool, where x represents the length of the wading pool in meters? 7 16

step-by-step explanation:

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.

step-by-step explanation:

given

height = 168 cm

formula

height =2.47*f+54.13

solution

168 = 2.47f + 54.13             subtract 54.13 from both sides

168 - 54.13   = 2.47f             combine

113.87 = 2.47f                     divide by 2.47

113.87 / 2.47 = f                   combine

46.1 = f  

answer: 46 cm
