Answer
Find out the how much weight does she need to remove from her suitcase.
To prove
Let us assume that the weight Clara's need to remove from her suitcase be x.
As given
[tex]Clara's\ suitcase\ weighs\ 58\frac{1}{4}\ pounds,[/tex]
[tex]Clara's\ suitcase\ weighs\ \frac{233}{4}\ pounds,[/tex]
the airline's weight limit for suitcases is 50 pounds
Than the equation becomes
[tex]x = \frac{233}{4} - 50[/tex]
[tex]x = 58.25- 50[/tex]
x = 8.25 pounds.
Therefore the weight Clara's need to remove from her suitcase be 8.25 pounds.
As 1 pounds = 16 ounces
Convert 8.25 pounds into ounces.
x = 8.25 × 16
x = 132 ounces
Therefore the weight Clara's need to remove from her suitcase be 132 ounces.
Answer: She needed to remove 8 pounds 4 ounces from her suitcase.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Weight of Clara's suitcase is given by
[tex]58\frac{1}{4}\ pounds\\\\=\frac{233}{4}\ pounds\\\\=58.25\ pounds\\\\=58\ pounds\ 4\ ounces[/tex]
But the weight limit for suitcases = 50 pounds
So, She needs to remove from her suitcase is given by
[tex]58.25-50\\\\=8.25\\\\=8\ pounds\ 4\ ounces[/tex]
Hence, She needed to remove 8 pounds 4 ounces from her suitcase.
