A box with a volume of 16 $\text{cm}^3$ can hold 50 paperclips. How many paperclips could a box with a volume of 48 $\text{cm}^3$ hold?

150 paperclips

Step-by-step explanation:

set up the equation as a fraction equaling a fraction i.e. volume 16/ 50 paperclips = volume 48/ x paperclips

cross multiply so you get 16x = 2400

solve for x by dividing 2400 by 16

you should get x = 150

ik how do do this just give me a few minutes and i will give it to

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
