Question

As a block of ice melts, its weight changes from 1 3/4 lb to 1/4 lb. This change takes 1/4 h. The ice melts at a constant rate. At what rate does the weight of the ice change? Show your work.

pleaseeeeee help =)

Answer 1

Question:-

As a block of ice melts, its weight changes from 1 3/4 lb to 1/4 lb. This change takes 1/4 h. The ice melts at a constant rate. At what rate does the weight of the ice change?

Answer:-

You should have these values backwards like:-

=> 1/34 lb is less than 1/4 lb.

Next:-

We're gonna find a specific common denominator,

Then we get: (17/68 - 2/68)/(1/4) = 60/68 = 15/17 lb/hour

Change in weight :

• 
  `1 (3)/(4) - (1)/(4)`

• 
  `(7)/(4) - (1)/(4)`

• 
  `(6)/(4) lb`

_____________________________

Time taken to melt :

• 
  `(1)/(4) \: hr`

_____________________________

Rate of change in weight of ice :

• 
  `\mathrm{ (change \: \: in \: \: weight)/(time \: taken) }`

• 
  `(6)/(4) / (1)/(4)`

• 
  `(6)/(4) * 4`

• 
  `6`

The rate of change in weight of Ice is 6 lbs per hour ( 6 lb / h )
