Answer :
1/8x=4.5x (x is the number of cartridges)
Multiply both sides by 8
x=36
The box contains 36 cartridges.
Multiply both sides by 8
x=36
The box contains 36 cartridges.
Answer: There are 36 cartridges that box contain.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Weight of ink cartridges = [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex] pounds
Total weight of the cartridges in a box = [tex]4\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{9}{2}\ pounds[/tex]
so, Number of cartridges that box contain is given by
[tex]\dfrac{9}{2}\div \dfrac{1}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{9}{2}\times \dfrac{8}{1}\\\\=9\times 4\\\\=36[/tex]
Hence, there are 36 cartridges that box contain.
