<PRE><B>Question 304743</B>
For every 1,000 cubic meters of air that comes through a filtering system , 0.05 gram of dust is removed. How many grams of dust are removed when 10^7 cubic meters of air have been filtered ?
---
Proportion:
x/10^7 = 0.05/1000
---
x = 10^7(0.05/1000)
---
x = 10^4*0.05
---
Move the decimal point 4 places to the right to get:
---
x = 500
