A train freight car weighs 25 tons when empty. A conveyor belt pours coal into the car at a constant rate of 1/3 ton per minute until it is full.

The dump truck (Refer to problem 8) weighs 55 tons when filled. At the same time the freight car is being filled, an identical freight car filled

to capacity is being emptied at a rate of 1/6 ton per minute.

How long, in minutes, until the freight cars are the same weight?

The tucks will weigh the same in

minutes.

How much coal will be in each truck when they weigh the same?

There will be

tons of coal in each truck.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

mass of Freight car=25tons

the rate of filling is 1/3 ton per minute

let the time taken to fill the freight car be x

and the total mass after x minute be y

Hence the mass as a function of time is expressed as

y=25+1/3x----------1

mas of dump truck=55tons

rate of being emptied= 1/6 tons per minute

let the time taken to empty the dump truck be x

and the total mass after x minute be y

Hence the mass as a function of time is expressed as

y=55-1/6x----------2

Step two:

equating equations 1 and 2,

1. The tucks will weigh the same in

55-1/6x=25+1/3x

collect like terms

55-25=1/3x+1/6x

30=(2+1/6)x

30=3/6x

30=1/2x

30=0.5x

x=30/0.5

x=60min

or

1 hour

The tucks will weigh the same in  60minutes(1 hour)

2. How much coal will be in each truck when they weigh the same?

For the  train freight car, the weight after 60 minutes is

y=25+1/3(60)

y=25+20

y=55tons

55-25=20tons

There will be 20tons

For the  dump truck, the weight after 60 minutes is

y=55-1/6(60)

y=55-10

y=45tons

55-45=10tons

There will be 10tons

[tex]4( x - 7)^2 - 48 = 12[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

x=7+√15

x=7-√15

Step-by-step explanation:

A :-) 4 ( x - 7 )^2 - 48 = 12
= 4 ( x^2 - 49 ) - 48 = 12
= 4x^2 - 196 - 48 = 12
= 4x^2 - 244 = 12
= 4x^2 = 12 + 244
= 4x^2 = 256
= x^2 = 256 by 4
= x^2 = 64

Some animals on farms eat hay to get energy. A horse can eat 20 pounds of hay each day. Write and evaluate an expression to find how many pounds a group of 17 horses can eat in two weeks.

Answers

Answer:

The amount of hay these 17 horses can eat in 2 weeks is 4,760 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that a horse can eat 20 pounds of hay each day.

There is a group of 17 horses.

Compute the amount of hay these 17 horses can eat in 2 weeks as follows:

[tex]\text{Total amount of hay} = 20 \times \text{Number of days} \times \text{Number of Horses}[/tex]

                                [tex]=20\times 14\times 17\\\\=4760[/tex]

Thus, the amount of hay these 17 horses can eat in 2 weeks is 4,760 pounds.

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference between each term.

For example: 2,4,6,8,10,12,…

We can see clearly that all the terms differ by +2.

We call this the common difference, d.

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio (multiplier) between each term.

An example is: 2,4,8,16,32,…

So to find the next term in the sequence we would multiply the previous term by 2.

This is called the common ratio, r.

These sequences are closely related as they both have the same first term, but I hope you can see how different they become if they have a common difference or a common ratio.

We can create a decreasing arithmetic sequence by choosing a negative common difference.

Similarly, a decreasing geometric sequence would have a common ratio of less than 1.

Jacob earns $7.25 an hour at his part-time job, and earns $9 each time he mows the lawn for his mother. He graphs the amount of hours he works at his job (x) and the number of lawns he mows (y) to determine how to earn at least $300. Which type of boundary line should he use in his graph?

Answers

Answer:

$7.25 at part-time job $9.00 every time lawn mowed           so he would get 33.33 day so we will just say 33 times to get 300 dollars if he gets $9 for mowing.  And 41.37  hours to get $300 and he would have to use x and y graph to find the boundary line.



Problem

The formula for the remaining volume of fuel in a car's tank is I-E\cdot DI−E⋅DI, minus, E, dot, D, where III is the initial volume of fuel, EEE is the fuel efficiency, and DDD is the distance traveled.

Carson drove a distance of 120120120 kilometers. He initially had 303030 liters of fuel, and his car's fuel efficiency is 100100100 cubic centimeters per kilometer.

What calculation will give us the estimated volume of fuel that remains in Carson's tank by the end of the drive, in liters?

Answers

Answer:

18 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the remaining volume of fuel in a car's tank is expressed as;

V = I - E.D

where;

I is the initial volume of fuel,

E is the fuel efficiency, and;

D is the distance traveled.

Given

I = 30 litres

1m³ = 1000L

x = 30L

x = 30/1000

x = 0.03m³

I = 0.03m³

E = 100cm³/km

E = 100*10^-6m³/km

E = 10^-4m³/km

E = 10^-4m³/1000m

E = 10^-7m²

D = 120km

Convert km to metres

D = 120km = 120,000m

Substitute the results into the formula;

V = I - E.D

V = 0.03 - (10^-7)(120,000)

V = 0.03 - 0.012

V= 0.018 m³

Convert 0.018 m³ to litres

Since 1 m³ = 1000L

0.018 m³ = y

cross multiply;

y  = 1000 * 0.018

y = 18 litres

Hence volume of fuel that remains in Carson's tank by the end of the drive is 18 litres

Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.

We know that, probability of an event = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

Given that, Lis

Lisa wrote 10 letters on 10 slips of paper.

If the event is “likely” to happen, the probability will be between 1/2 and 1.
