Answer:
4.25 pound
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio is the quantitative relation between two amounts, which is being compared. In this question we are considering the ratio of weight to time consumed.
At the age 0
Weight = 2 pound
At the age 4 months
Weight = 3.5 pound
Proportion of Change = Change in Weight / Change in time = (3.5 - 2) / (4-0) = 1.5 / 4 = 0.375 pound per month
Weight after 6 months = 2 + (6 x 0.375 pond per month )= 4.25 pound
The ratio given says this - 3 puppies : 2 adults = 5 total dogs
You are given (?) puppies : (?) adults = 80 total dogs
In this case, you are trying to find the number of puppies, so you do not need to care about the number of adults. You need to compare the ratio with the actual amount.
Total/puppies = total/puppies
5/3 = 80/(?)
Now, cross multiply.
5(?) = 240
Divide both sides by 5 and you get your answer.
(?) = 48

A cube is a prism whose sides all have the same length. You can think of a cube like the three dimensional version of a square. In this problem, we know that Mary is using a microscope in order to look at a salt crystal and discovers it is shaped like a cube. Each square face has side length:

This diagram is shown in the first figure below. A crystal's square face is one of the six faces of the cube. So in order to draw it we need to know how many units we'll have in each side. Since we know that 1 unit on the grid represents 0.01mm, then:

So we will have 10 units that measure 0.01mm in each side. This is shown in the second figure below.
