You are doing annual inventory at the hardware store where you work. a box filled with brass connectors weighs 5 pounds 4 ounces. the box weighs 8 ounces when empty, and each connector weighs 0.25 ounces. about how many connectors should be in the box?

304 brass connectors.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a box filled with brass connectors weighs 5 pounds 4 ounces. The box weighs 8 ounces when empty, and each connector weighs 0.25 ounces.  

Since we know that 1 pound equals to 16 ounces.Let us convert weight of box filled with brass connectors from pounds to ounces.

Now we will find weight of brass connectors by subtracting weight of empty box from weight of filled box.

Let us divide 76 by 0.25 to find number of brass connectors in the box.

Therefore, there are 304 connectors in the box.  

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
