Sagot :

Using proportions, it is found that:

A. The vegetables weigh 66 pounds.

B. 0.5 pints are dispensed after 25 seconds.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

4 and 1/8 pounds is equivalent to 4.125 pounds. Since each pound has 16 ounces, the weight of the vegetable is of:

W = 16 x 4.125 = 66 pounds.

Every second, 0.16 gallons are dispensed. Hence the amount dispensed in 25 seconds is:

A = 25 x 0.16 = 4 gallons.

Each gallon has 8 pints, hence the number of pints dispensed is:

4/8 = 0.5 pints.
