__fl oz = 1 1/2 pt
2 3/4 t = __lb
16 fl oz = 1 pint
24 fl oz = 1 1/2 pint
What does "t" represent?
ton I am assuming...That's how it is written in my textbook
Ok. I think of t as teaspoon, but of course, in this case it must be ton.
1 ton = 2,000 pounds
They show teaspoon as: tsp. Thanks for you help!
To find the missing value in the equation 2 3/4 t = __lb, we need to determine the conversion factor between the units "t" (teaspoons) and "lb" (pounds). Let's break this down step by step:
1. Start by converting the given relationship __fl oz = 1 1/2 pt into teaspoons. Since there are 8 fluid ounces in a cup (fl oz) and 2 cups in a pint (pt), we can calculate the number of teaspoons in 1 1/2 pints:
- 1 1/2 pt = 1 1/2 pt × 2 cups/pt × 8 fl oz/cup × 3 tsp/fl oz = 1 1/2 × 2 × 8 × 3 tsp = 1 1/2 × 16 × 3 tsp = 72 tsp
Therefore, 1 1/2 pints is equal to 72 teaspoons.
2. Now, let's use the conversion factor to convert from teaspoons (t) to pounds (lb). We need to determine how many teaspoons are in 1 pound.
Let's assume there are X teaspoons in 1 pound.
From the given equation, we know that 2 3/4 t = __ lb.
Using the conversion factor, we can set up the proportion:
- 72 tsp / 1 lb = (2 3/4) tsp / X lb
3. Cross-multiply and solve for X:
- 72 tsp * X lb = (2 3/4) tsp * 1 lb
- 72X = 11/4
- X = (11/4) / 72 = 11/288
Therefore, there are 11/288 pounds in 2 3/4 teaspoons.
In conclusion, 2 3/4 t is equal to 11/288 lb.
