Daniel used 5/8 of box of nails to build a birdhouse. A box of nails weights 16 ounces. Which statement is true about the weight of the nails Daniel used?

The correct answer is 10 ounces of nails were used by Daniel to build his birdhouse.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of the box of nails Daniel uses = 16 ounces

Fraction of the nails used to build a birdhouse =

Weight of the nails Daniel used to build the birdhouse = × 16 = 10 ounces.

Thus Daniel used 10 ounces of the nails from the box of nails to make his birdhouse. We can also say that there are 6 ounces of nails left over in the box.

ad = ae + ed = y + 7

similar triangles therefor

ac/ab = ad/ae

6/4 = (y + 7) / y

cross multiply

6y = 4(y + 7)

6y = 4y + 28

2y = 28

y = 14

sorry, i can't understand your question. will later if you describe more clearly!
