Question

Please help with two questions!!!

1.Caracals are wild cats found in the deserts of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. They are known for their leaping abilities and their tufted black ears.
Suppose a particular caracal weighs 30 pounds 8 ounces. How many ounces does the caracal weigh?
2.The Great Sphinx of Giza is a very large limestone sculpture of a creature with a human head and the body of a lion. The Sphinx is 236 inches wide. How many feet wide is it?

Answer 1

A caracal weighing 30 pounds 8 ounces is equal to 488 ounces. The width of the Great Sphinx is approximately 19.67 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine how many ounces the caracal weighs, we need to convert the pounds and ounces to a single unit of measurement (ounces).

Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, we can convert the pounds to ounces by multiplying 30 by 16:

1. 30 pounds x 16 ounces/pound = 480 ounces

Now, we add the 8 ounces to the result:

1. 480 ounces + 8 ounces = 488 ounces

Therefore, the caracal weighs 488 ounces.

For the second question, we need to convert 236 inches to feet.

Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we can convert the inches to feet by dividing 236 by 12:

1. 236 inches ÷ 12 inches/foot = 19.67 feet (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the width of the Great Sphinx is approximately 19.67 feet.
