Answer:
85 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
A strange bowling bow is made up of plastic and wood. The weight of the two materials are in a ratio of 5 to 9 if the bowling ball weights 238 ounces what is the weight of the plastic.
We are given the ratio:
Plastic : wood
5:9
Sum of proportion = 5 + 9 = 14
The weight of the bowling ball = 238 ounces
Hence
The weight of the plastic is calculated as:
5/14 × 238 ounces
= 85 ounces
