choose.

Weight in 1982

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

 Weight of penny in 1982 = 0.11 ounce

  Weight of penny in 2013 = 0.09 ounce

Unknown:

Which penny weighs more = ?

Solution:

  Simply, we are looking for which number is higher,

     0.11 or 0.09

Let us find the differences;

   if x is greater than y then,   x - y must be positive

If 0.11 is greater then 0.09, then 0.11 - 0.09 must be positive

                                                      = 0.02, it is positive

The weight of a penny in 1982 is greater than that in 2013

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
