Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 oz = 0.0625 lb
Ratio of the hiker an backpack in the first row = 152.25 lb : 14.5 lb
= 21 : 2
Hiker's weight Backpack weight Total weight (in lb)
1). 152 lb 4 oz 14 lb 8 oz (152+14) lb (4+8) oz = 164lb 12oz
= 16.75 lb
2). 107 lb 10 oz 10 lb 4 oz (107+10) lb (10+4) oz = 117 lb 14 oz
= 117.875 lb
3). 129 lb 15 oz 
(129+12) lb (15+6)oz = 141 lb 21 oz
x = 12.375 lb = 142.3125lb
x = 12 lb 6 oz
4). 
8 lb 12 oz (8 + 91) lb (14+12) oz = 99 lb 26 lb
x = 91.875 lb = 100.625 lb
x = 91 lb 14 oz
5). 
10 lb (105 + 10) lb = 115 lb
x = 105 lb
Answer:
the second store has the better deal.
Step-by-step explanation:
12 ÷ 2 = 6
7.5 × 6 = 45
20.2 < 45
Please, enclose those binomials x+4 and y+7 inside parentheses:
(x+4) / 4 = (y+7) / 7. Find (x/4).
Let's solve the above equation for x:
x+4 = 4(y+7)/7. Then x = 4(y+7) / 7 - 4
Last, divide all 3 terms by 4: x/4 = (y+7) / 7 - 1 (answer)
y + 7 - 7
You could also type this as x/4 = ------------- = y/7
7
-30+-15
=-45
