A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The large boxes weigh 50 pounds each, and the small boxes weigh 25 pounds each. There
are 125 boxes in all. If the truck is carrying a total of 4625 pounds in boxes, how many of each type of box is it carrying?

Number of large boxes =

Number of small boxes =

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 50 large boxes.

There are 65 small boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, "boxes of two sizes" means we can assign variables:

  Let x = number of large boxes

       y = number of small boxes

 "There are 115 boxes in all"    means    x + y = 115      [eq1]

Now, the pounds for each kind of box is:

    (pounds per box)*(number of boxes)

So,pounds for large boxes     +    pounds for small boxes      =    4125 pounds"the truck is carrying a total of 4125 pounds in boxes"

        (50)*(x)                   +              (25)*(y)                  = 4125    [eq2]

It is important to find two equations so we can solve for two variables.

Solve for one of the variables in eq1 then replace (substitute) the expression for that variable in eq2.  Let's solve for x:

   x = 115 - y          [from eq1]

 50(115-y) + 25y = 4125             [from eq2]

 5750 - 50y  + 25y = 4125           [distribute]

 5750 - 25y = 4125

 -25y = -1625

    y = 65   [divide both sides by (-25)]

  There are 65 small boxes.

Put that value into either equation (now, which is easier?) to solve for x:

  x = 115 - y

  x = 115 - 65

  x = 50

  There are 50 large boxes.

A catering company sells an 8 lb container of food for $54. Use a model to write a rate for this situation. What does this rate mean?

Answers

Answer:

$6.75 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

$54 ÷ 8lb = $6.75/lb

or a 1:6.75 ratio/rate

The model to write the rate for this situation is 54 / 8 and the rate is $6.75.

What is Unit Rate?

Unit rate is the amount of one quantity for a unit amount of the other quantity.

In other words it compares 1 unit of some quantity with different amount of another quantity.

Given that,

A catering company sells an 8 lb container of food for $54.

We have to find the unit rate for the given situation.

Price for 8 lb container of food = $54

Price for 1 lb container of food = 54 / 8

                                                   = $6.75

This is the required rate, which means that price for 1 lb container of food is $6.75.

Hence, the unit price for the food sold by catering company is $6.75.

Write an equation for the function graphed below. I keep doing this and getting the same answer, what am I doing wrong.

Answers

Answer:

(-4(x-2))/((x+2)|(x-4)|)

Step-by-step explanation:

You were so close. I stared at your problem for a

long time when you first posted it. I used a graphing utility to experiment. Your denominator was perfect for getting the vertical asymptotes in the right place. The y-intercept worked. The x-intercept was exactly right. I couldn't get the far right piece of the curve to reflect down in the fourth quadrant.

Hours later...suddenly BAM! ABSOLUTE VALUE pops into my head.

I always thought the numerator should be negative, so that middle portion of the curve that looks like a cubic would start "up to the left" and end "down to the right" But those left and right curves should be like mirror images of each other sort of. So I tried the absolute value and it worked! Good luck with your work. Hope this helps a little.

A city employee is organizing a race down Broadway, from Beale Street to Grand Avenue. There will be a water station at the beginning and end of the race. There will also be water stations along the route, with no more than one mile between stations. What is the minimum number of water stations for this race​

Answers

It can be deduced from the multiplication that the minimum number of water stations for this race will be 28.

How to calculate the number of water stations

Your information isn't complete as the figures aren't provided. Therefore, an overview will be given.

In this case, let's assume that there are 14 routes and that there will be a water station at the beginning and end of the routes.

From the scenario, if the racers are to run through all the routes, the number of water stations will be the value of 14 multiplied by 2. This will be:

= 14 × 2 = 28

In conclusion, the correct option is 28.

A pool manager balances the pH level of a pool. The price of a bucket of chlorine tablets is $90, and the price of a pH test kit is $11. The manager uses a coupon that applies a 40% discount to the total cost of the two items. How much money does the pool manager pay for each item?

Answers

Answer:

The pool manager pay for each item is $60.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A pool manager balances the ph level of a pool.

The price of a bucket of chlorine tablets is $90, and the price of a ph test kit is $11.

The manager uses a coupon that applies a 40% discount to the total cost of the two items.

Now, to find the money the pool manager pay for each item.

The price of a bucket of  chlorine tablets is = $90.

The price of a ph test kit = $11.

So, to get the total price of both items we add both prices:

Total cost of two items = $101.

As, given a coupon that applies a 40% discount to the total cost of the two items.

Now, to get the total cost by applying discount:

Thus, the pool manager pay = $60.6.

Therefore, the pool manager pay for each item is $60.6.

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of x−2 and (x−2)(−x−2) is (x−2)(−x−2).

A = 220 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = width x heightArea of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Area of the rectangle = 11 x 18 = 198 cm²

Area of the triangle = 1/2 x (18 - 7) x (15 - 11) = 22 cm²

Therefore, area of the polygon = 198 + 22 = 220 cm²

Answer:

220 is The Correct Answer

Letter Choice (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

HERE'S MY PROOF AND MY RESEARCH

Area of a rectangle = width x height

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Area of the rectangle = 11 x 18 = 198 cm²

Area of the triangle = 1/2 x (18 - 7) x (15 - 11) = 22 cm²

Therefore, area of the polygon = 198 + 22 = 220 cm²

Under his cell phone plan, Jacob pays a flat cost of $40.50 per month and $3 per
gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill at $48.90 per month. Write and solve an equation
which can be used to determine g, the number of gigabytes of data Jacob can use
while staying within his budget.

Answers

The constant for this equation would be 40.50 because it is the flat rate. We can use 3g to represent how it costs $3 per gigabyte. Our equation is going to be 3g + 40.50 = 48.90.

Our goal is to isolate g. We can do that by subtracting 40.50 from both sides. This gives us 3g = 8.4. Then, we need to divide both sides by 3. This gives us g = 2.8. Jacob can use 2.8 gigabytes or less to stay within the budget.

What is an equation of a line?

The equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

Example:

The slope of the line y = 2x + 3 is 2.

The slope of a line that passes through (1, 2) and (2, 3) is 1.

We have,

To find the equation of a line given two points, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]

where m is the slope of the line and (x_1, y_1) are the coordinates of one of the points on the line.

Given the coordinates (0, 0) and (-4, 8), we can find the slope of the line:

[tex]m = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)[/tex]

= (8 - 0) / (-4 - 0)

= -2

Now that we have the slope of the line, we can choose one of the points to plug into the point-slope form.

Let's use (0, 0):

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\y - 0 = -2(x - 0)\\y = -2x[/tex]

Therefore,

linear equation in point slope form for a line that passes through the point (3,2) and has a slope of -4

Answers

Answer:

It is given that the slope of -4, so m will be -4 like this: y = -4x + b

We are also given the coordinates where x = 3 and y =2

2 = -4(3) + b

2 = -12 + b

Add 12 to both sides

2 = -12 + b

+ 12  + 12
