A bridge has a single lane and is 122 feet long. The weight limit for the bridge is 20 tons. Each car that might be on the bridg

e is 7.4 feet long and weighs 1.2 tons. Each truck is 16 feet long and weighs 2.8 tons. Write an inequality you could use to find the number of trucks t that can fit on the bridge when there are 10 cars in the bridge.

Answer:

2.8 t ≤  12 tons  ,  16 t  ≤   48 feet are the required inequalities to find the number of trucks t on a bridge.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of trucks on the bridge = t

Number of cars = 10

Total length of Bridge = 122 ft, and weight = 20 tons

Total length of Car = 7.4 ft, and weight = 1.2 tons

Total length of truck = 16 ft, and weight = 2.8 tons

Now, there are 10 cars on the bridge.

So, total length of bridge covered = 7.4 x 10 = 74 feet

Hence, the available length of bridge for trucks = 122 - 74 = 48 ft

Also, total weight of bridge covered = 1.2 x 10 = 12 tons

Hence, the available weight  of bridge for trucks = 20 - 12 = 8 tons

Hence, according to the question:

2.8 t ≤  12 tons    and

16 t  ≤   48 feet are the required inequalities to find the number of trucks t on a bridge.

​ On a certain hot​ summer's day, 335 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $1.25 for children and $2.00 fo
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of children ($1.75 each) and a represent the number of adults ( $2.00 each).

We know that there were 340 people total, so c + a = 340. This implies that a = 340 - c

We also know that $1.75 c + $2.00 a = $609.25

By substituting a with 340 -c we have $1.75 c + $2.00 (340 -c) = $609.25

Use the distributive property to obtain $1.75 c + $680 - $2.00 c = $609.25

Subtract $680 from both sides and combine like terms to get - $0.25 c = -

$70.75

Now, divide both sides by -$0.25 to get c = 283, the number of children.

The number of adults is 340 - c or 340 - 283 = 57
