Ahippopotamus weighs 1.5 tons. what is its weight in ounces?

We can use unitary method here.

First let us use the basic conversion from tons to ounces.

1 ton =32000 ounces

Now we have to find how many ounces are there in 1.5 tons.

Weight of hippopotamus in tons =1.5 tons

Weight of hippopotamus in ounces = 1.5 *32000 = 48000 ounces.

So the weight of hippopotamus in ounces is 48000 ounces.

answer: what statements

step-by-step explanation if you write the statements down then i could you.

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
