2 In science class, Graciela noticed that the balance scale showed 2 ounces for a sample of matter and 56.7
grams for the same sample. She has a rock that weighs 708.75 grams but needs to know the weight in
ounces. Which proportion could Graciela use to find x, the weight of the rock in ounces?

Step-by-step explanation:

If the scale showed 2 ounces for a sample of matter and 56.7grams for the same sample, then;

2 ounces = 56.7grams

If She has a rock that weighs 708.75 grams but needs to know the weight in

ounces, we can say;

x ounces = 708.75grams

Combining both equality postulates

2 ounces = 56.7grams

x ounces = 708.75grams

Cross multiply

56.7 × x = 2 × 708.75

x = (2 × 708.75)/56.7

The proportion is (2 × 708.75)/56.7

Calculate x:

x = 1417.5/56.7

x = 25

Hence the weight of the 708.75g rock in ounces is 25ounces
