The first thing you must do is to calculate the weight of the gravel (w) that the truck holds (7.5 yards³). So, you have:
If the weight of 1 yard³ is 1.48 tons, then the weight of 7.5 yards³ is:
w=7.5x1.48 tons
w=11.1 tons
The problem says that the gravel will be placed in containers that each hold 3.7 tons of gravel,so, If they need 1 cotainer to place 3.7 tons, how many containers they need to place 11.1 tons?
1 container-------3.7 tons of gravel
x-------11.1 tons of gravel
x=(11.1x1)/3.7
x=11.1/3.7
x=3 containers
H<span>ow many containers of this size are needed to hold all the gravel from one truck?

The answer is: 3 containers.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as
y = mx + c
Where
m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)
The equation of the given line is
7x+4y=3
4y = - 7x + 3
y = -7x/4 + 3/4
Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = -7/4
If the line passing through the given point is perpendicular to the given line, it means that its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (6,-9) is 4/7
To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 4/7, x = 6 and y = -9 into y = mx + c. It becomes
- 9 = 4/7×6 + c = 24/7 + c
c = - 9 - 24/7 = -87/7
The equation becomes
y = 4x/7 - 87/7
Use elimination
Multiply first equation by 4
12a - 8b = 56
12a + 9b = 39
Subtract both
-17b = 17
b = -1
Plug in -1 for b
3a - 2(-1) = 14
3a = 12, a = 4
Final answer: a = 4, b = -1
Answer:
• for x = 2a√t, make t the subject:
• then find y:
Answer:
The graph =
<h3>y = 58x</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
distance covered (y) = 174 miles
time taken (x) = 3 hours
Therefore the points = (3, 174) and (0, 0) = stationary position
Find the gradient (m)
m = 174-0 / 3-0
m = 58
Therefore the equation =
<h3>y = 58x</h3>
(distance = 58 × time)
For the distance = 174 and time = 3 hours, the equation to find either distance or time = y = 58x
(b) the graph is constant, because the time and distance are also contant when the speed used is the same.
