a piece of cable 8.5 long weighs 52 grams. What will a 10-Cm length of the same cable weigh?

Sagot :

ratio and proportion 8.5 cm/52 grams= 10 cm/x grams cross multiply 8.5x=520 x= 61.18 grams hope this helps

we know that

a piece of cable [tex]8.5[/tex] cm long weighs [tex]52[/tex] grams

so

by proportion

[tex]\frac{52}{8.5}\frac{grams}{cm}=\frac{x}{10}\frac{grams}{cm} \\ \\8.5*x=10*52\\ \\x=(10*52/)8.5\\ \\x=61.18\ grams[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex]61.18\ grams[/tex]
