Renna pushes the elevator button, but the elevator does not move. The mass limit for the elevator is 450 kilograms (kg), but Ren

na and her load of identical packages mass a total of 620 kg. Each package has a mass of 37.4 kg.
1. Write an inequality to determine the number of packages, p, Renna could remove from the elevator to meet the mass requirement.

2. What is the minimum whole number of packages Renna needs to remove from the elevator to meet the mass requirement?

Answer:

1. 620-37.4p\leq 450

2. 5 packages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent number of packages.

We have been given that each package has a mass of 37.4 kg. So mass of p packages would be 37.4p.

We have been given that the mass limit for the elevator is 450 kilograms (kg), but Renna and her load of identical packages mass a total of 620 kg.

The weight of identical packages minus weight of p packages should be less than or equal to mass limit of the elevator. We can represent this information i an inequality as:

620-37.4p\leq 450

Therefore, the inequality 620-37.4p\leq 450 can be used to determine the number of packages that Renna could remove from the elevator to meet the mass requirement.

Let us solve for p.

620-620-37.4p\leq 450-620

-37.4p\leq -170

Divide by negative and swap the inequality sign:

\frac{-37.4p}{-37.4}\geq \frac{-170}{-37.4}

p \geq 4.54545

Since Renna cannot remove 0.54 of a package, therefore, the minimum whole number of packages that Renna needs to remove from the elevator would be 5.

Answer:

x° is 66°  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram, we have;

∠JIH = 105° Given

∠IDJ = 39° Given

Therefore, we have;

∠JID and ∠JIH are supplementary angles, by the sum of angles on a straight line

∴ ∠JID + ∠JIH = 180° by definition of supplementary angles

∠JID + 105° = 180° by substitution property

∠JID = 180° - 105° = 75° by angle subtraction postulate

∠JID = 75°

∠IDJ + ∠JID + ∠IJD = 180° by the sum of interior angles of a triangle

∠IJD = 180° - (∠IDJ + ∠JID)  = 180° - (39° + 75°) = 66° angle subtraction postulate

∠IJD = 66°

∠x° ≅ ∠IJD, by vertically opposite angles

∴ ∠x° = ∠IJD = 66° by the definition of congruency

∠x° = 66°

What is the probability of rolling a 2 or a 4 on a 6 section spinner?
sergey [27]
Rolling an even number (2, 4 or 6) is an event, and rolling an odd number (1, 3 or 5) is also an event. In Experiment 1 the probability of each outcome is always the same. The probability of landing on each color of the spinner is always one fourth.

On a loan of $1200 at 15% annual interest, Shirley had to pay $135 interest. For how many months did she have the loan?
natulia [17]

Answer:

<u><em>9 months</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal= P= $1200

Rate=R= 15%

Interest= I= $135

Time= T= ?

I=P*R*T/100

135= 1200*15*T/100

135*100=18000*T

13500/18000=T

T= 0.75 years

T= 0.75*12= 9 months

Solve the formula for the indicated variable <br> A=1/2bh solve for h
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

h=A*2b

Step-by-step explanation:

A=1/2bh

1/2bh=A

1/2bh÷1/2bh=A÷1/2bh (the 1/2b will cancel with the 1/2b on the left leaving h)

h=A*2b
