Using proportions, it is found that the average waste produced by each plant on a monthly basis is of 0.8 tons per month.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, there is a period of 60 x 12 = 720 months, with 104 plants, and 60,000 tons of waste were produced, hence the average is given by:

A = 60000/(720 x 104) = 0.8 tons per month.

First take the fractions and find their common denominator:
\frac{1}{2} x 4 =\frac{4}{8}

Now you can add the fractions:
\frac{4}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8}

Now add your whole numbers and the fraction:
1+1= 2 >> 2+\frac{5}{8} = 2\frac{5}{8} yards

Now subract 2\frac{5}{8} from 5:
5-2\frac{5}{8} =2\frac{3}{8} yards

Which expression uses the associative property to make it easier to evaluate? (50points)
Naily [24]

The correct answer is option 4: (8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

8.(\frac{1}{4}.\frac{3}{5})

The associative property states that for any three terms that are being multiplied, different order of multiplication (i.e. which two terms are multiplied first) will give the same answer.

Let a,b and c be the three terms

then

a.(b.c) = (a.b).c

So applying the associative property on given expression

8.(\frac{1}{4}.\frac{3}{5}) = (8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}

Hence,

The correct answer is option 4: (8.\frac{1}{4}).\frac{3}{5}

The dimensions of a gymnastic floor are 40 ft by 40 ft. the performance floor is 1 ft less, or 39 ft, per side.
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

the square root of 3200

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure if this is right, because the format of the question wasn't clear, but it sounded like we have to find the diagonal distance of the room from one corner to the opposite. If the sides are 40ft long on both sides, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:

40^2+40^2=c^2

1600+1600=c^2

3200=c^2

c=sqrt(3200)

or about 56.5

PLZZZZ help as soon as possible
sammy [17]

Answer:

JK = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

JK ≅ JM

where

JK = 3x - 16

JM = 2x - 7

3x - 16 = 2x - 7

group like terms

3x - 2x = 16 - 7

x = 9

<u>plugin x=9 into JK</u>

JK = 3x - 16

JK = 3(9) - 16

JK = 11
