A can of nuts weighs 1 pound, 1 ounce. The empty can weighs 3 ounces. If you pour out half the nuts into a bowl, how many ounces of nuts are in the bowl?

7 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 16 ounces in one pound, so there are 17 ounces for the can of nuts.

Since the empty can weighs 3 ounces, you can subtract 17-3, which equals 14, to get the weight of the nuts alone.

Then, you divide 14 by 2, and you get 7.

step-by-step explanation:

.

part a: triangles gcb and epb

part b. sides cg and rp are parallel by definition of parallelogram.

angles cgb and e are congruent by being alternate interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. angles gbc and ebp are congruent because they are vertical angles. by aa similarity, the triangles are similar.

part c. since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

calculation of be:

gb/be = cb/bp

(400 ft)/be = 300/200

(400 ft)/be = 3/2

3be = 2 * 400 ft

3be = 800 ft

be = 800/3 ft

calculation of pe:

gc/pe = cb/bp

(350 ft)/pe = 300/200

(350 ft)/pe = 3/2

3pe = 2 * 350 ft

3pe = 700 ft

pe = 700/3 ft
