use a ratio box to solve this problem a collection of sedimintery rock contained sanstone and shale in thhe ratio of 5 to 2 if therre were 210 rocks in the collectionhow many were sandstone
To determine the weight of the baby, we need to find the difference between Mr. Greer's weight with the baby and his weight without the baby.
Mr. Greer's weight with the baby = 180 pounds
Mr. Greer's weight without the baby = 165 1/2 pounds
To find the weight of the baby, we subtract Mr. Greer's weight without the baby from his weight with the baby:
Weight of the baby = Weight with the baby - Weight without the baby
Weight of the baby = 180 pounds - 165 1/2 pounds
To subtract mixed numbers, we first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
165 1/2 pounds = 165 + 1/2 = 330/2 + 1/2 = 331/2 pounds
Now we can subtract the fractions:
Weight of the baby = 180 pounds - 331/2 pounds
To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator:
Weight of the baby = (360/2) - (331/2) pounds
Now we can subtract the fractions:
Weight of the baby = 29/2 pounds
Therefore, the baby's weight is 29/2 pounds, or 14 1/2 pounds.
