Question

Weight 1 = 150 lb

Weight 2 = 300 lb.

d1 = 15 ft.

d2 = ____ feet.

A) 15
B) 7.5
C) 30

Answer 1

Best Answer: w1•d1 = w2•d2
150•`15 = 300 d2
2250 = 300 d2
d2 = 2250 ÷ 300 = 7.5 ft

Answer 2

Explanation:

alright, lets get started.

The formula for weight and distance is :

`w_(1)*d_(1)= w_(2)*d_(2)`

Plugging the values of w1 as 150, d1 as 15, w2 as 300

`150*15=300*d_(2)`

dividing 300 in both sides

`(150*15)/(300)=d_(2)`

simplifying

`d_(2)=(15)/(2)`

`d_(2)=7.5`

Hence the answer is 7.5 feet. : answer
