Question

I need help on this one question I am stuck on it.

Answer 1

Given:

8.90ft³ for 30 balloons

Let h be the volume of helium and b be the number of balloons.

Using proportion;

b/h = 30 /8.90

Multiply both-side by h

`(b)/(h)* h=(30)/(8.90)* h`
`b=(30)/(8.90)h`

Hence, the answer to blank 1 is the above.

when b=50, substitute for b in the above and solve for the volume (h).

That is;

`50=(30)/(8.90)h`

Multiply both-side by 8.90/30

`50*(8.90)/(30)=h`

`14.83=h`

Hence, the answer to blank 2 is 14.83ft³.
