Shyla's research shows that 8 empty cans make 1/4 pound of aluminum. Shyla wants to know how many cans does it take to make 5 pounds of aluminum. How many cans are there per pound of aluminum?

They will need 160 cans to make 5 lbs

32 cans for 1 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

8 cans             x cans

=

1/4 lbs             5 lbs

Using cross products

8 * 5 = 1/4x

40 = 1/4 x

Multiply each side by 4

4 * 40 = 1/4 x * 4

160 =x

They will need 160 cans to make 5 lbs

8 cans             x cans

=

1/4 lbs             1 lbs

Using cross products

8 * 1 = 1/4x

Multiply each side by 4

8*4 = x

32 cans for 1 lbs

32 cans per pound of aluminum

160 cans per 5 pounds of aluminum

Step-by-step explanation:

will make it short and simple.

8 empty cans can make 1/4 pound of aluminum.

therefore... 8 x 4 = 32 cans per pound of aluminum.

Number of cans to make 5 pounds of aluminum = 32 x 5

= 160 cans per 5 pounds of aluminum

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!

circle area = pi * radius^2

if diameter = 10 then radius = 5

circle area = pi * 5^2

circle area = pi * 25

circle area = 78.5398163397 square units
