Rewriting the function we have:
 p = 9200 / D
 We must in this case clear the value of D.
 We have then:
 D = 9200 / p
 Substituting the value of p = 1600 lb we have:
 D = 9200/1600
 D = 5.75 feet
 Answer:
 
the distance between supports that is needed to carry 1600 lb is:
 
D = 5.75 feet

Write an equation of a line passing through point p(4, 0) that is parallel to the line -x+2y=12​
dedylja [7]

Answer:

y  = \frac{1}{2}x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

    Coordinates = p(4,0)

  Equation of the line   -x+2y=12​

Solution:

A line parallel to the given line will have the same slope as it is;

     -x+2y=12​

          2y = x + 12

            y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{12}{2}

 Since this conforms to y = mx + c where;

    x and y are the coordinates

    m is the slope

   c is the intercept

Our slope is \frac{1}{2}

The equation of the line is

      y = mx + c

let us find c;

     c  = y - mx

     c = 0 - (\frac{1}{2} x 4)

     c = -2

Now the equation of the line parallel to the line given is;

     y  = \frac{1}{2}x - 2

A right rectangular prism is packed with cubes of side length fraction 1 over 5 inch. If the prism is packed with 15 cubes along
Ann [662]

Given:

A right rectangular prism is packed with cubes of side length \dfrac{1}{5} inch.

Prism is packed with 15 cubes along the length, 6 cubes along the width, and 5 cubes along the height.

To find:

The volume of the prism

Solution:

Side length of each cube =\dfrac{1}{5} inch.

15 cubes along the length, so length of prism is

l=15\times \dfrac{1}{5}=3\text{ inches}

6 cubes along the width, so width of prism is

b=6\times \dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{6}{5}\text{ inches}

5 cubes along the height, so height of prism is

h=5\times \dfrac{1}{5}=1\text{ inch}

Now,

Volume of rectangular prism is

V=l\times b\times h

V=3\times \dfrac{6}{5}\times 1

V=\dfrac{18}{5}

V=\dfrac{3\times 5+3}{5}

V=3\dfrac{3}{5}\text{ cubic inches}

Therefore, the correct option is B.
