Eileen gave birth to quadruplets weighing 5 lb 6 oz, 4 lb 10 oz, 4 lb 14 oz, and 5 lb 2 oz. What was the total birth weight, in
pounds, of the quadruplets?

Total birth weight in pounds is 20 Ib

Step-by-step explanation:

Coversion factor

1 oz = 1/16 Ib = 0.0625 Ib

The weight of the first baby

= 5 Ib 6 oz = 5 Ib + (6 x 0.0625) Ib

= 5.375 Ib

The weight of the second baby

= 4 Ib 10 oz = 4 Ib + (10 x 0.0625) Ib

= 4.625 Ib

The weight of the third baby

= 4 Ib 14 oz = 4 Ib + (14 x 0.0625) Ib

= 4.875 Ib

The weight of the fourth baby

= 5 Ib 2 oz = 5 Ib + (2 x 0.0625) Ib

= 5.125 Ib

The total birth weight of the quadruplet is the sum of the individual weights of the four babies

5.375 Ib + 4.625 Ib + 4.875 Ib + 5.125 Ib

= 20 Ib.

The total birth weight in pounds is 20 Ib

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.
