A battalion of 520 soldiers goes through 16,380 pounds of rations in 3 weeks. If 780 more soldiers join the battalion, how many

tons (1 ton 2,000 pounds) of rations would the battalion now need to sustain its soldiers for 5 weeks?

They would need 34.125 tons of rations.


In order to find this, we first need to see how many pounds of rations a single soldier eats in a week. To do this, we take the total eaten in 3 weeks and divide by 3. Then we divide by the number of soldiers.


16,380/3 weeks= 5460 lbs per week


5460/520 soldiers = 10.5 lbs per soldier per week


Now we look to see how many soldiers we will have in total after adding. There are 520 to start and we add 780 to get 1300 total. Next we multiply that by the total per soldier per week.


10.5lbs per soldier per week * 1300 soldiers = 13,650lbs per week


Then we have to multiply by the 5 weeks that battalion will be there.


13,650lbs * 5 weeks = 68,250lbs of rations or 24.125 tons.

dexar [7]

There are 3 in. of snow on the ground when it begins to snow 0.5 in./h.

Initial depth of snow = 3 in.

it begins to snow 0.5 in./h. The constant rate of snow is 0.5. So slope = 0.5

Let x be the number of hours

y be the total depth of the snow

To frame linear equation we use y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept (initial depth of snow)

We know m=0.5  and b=3

Replace it in the equation

y = 0.5x + 3

The linear equation that represents the total depth of the snow(y), in inches, after x hours

is y= 0.5x + 3

Ahmed made a fruit smoothie in his blender, shown below. He gave 320 milliliters of the smoothie to his brother. How much smooth
navik [9.2K]

625 ml is the amount of smoothie is left for Ahmed to drink.

According to the statement

we have given that the

Ahmed made a 625 ml fruit smoothie in his blender and out of this he gave

320 milliliters of the smoothie to his brother and we have to find that the

How much smoothie is left for Ahmed.

So, For this purpose,

The total smoothie = 625 ml

Smoothie he gave to his brother = 320 ml

Now, we have to find the Amount of smoothie left for ahmed.

So, Smoothie left for ahmed = 625 ml - 320 ml

Smoothie left for ahmed = 305 ml

So, 625 ml is the amount of smoothie is left for Ahmed to drink.

Find equation of set of points pieces that its distance from the point 3, 4, -5 and -2, 1, 4 are equal.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we a point P(x,y,z) such that its distance from either the point A(3,4,-5) or B(-2,1,4) is the same.

Using this information we can formula:

distance AP = distance BP

first, let's find the distance from AP, using the distance formula.

r = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2 + (z_1 - z_2)^2}

AP = \sqrt{(3 - x_2)^2 + (4 - y_2)^2 + (-5 - z_2)^2}

similarly, we can find the distance BP

BP = \sqrt{(-2 - x_2)^2 + (1 - y_2)^2 + (4 - z_2)^2}

since both distances are exactly the same we can equate them

AP = BP

\sqrt{(3 - x_2)^2 + (4 - y_2)^2 + (-5 - z_2)^2} = \sqrt{(-2 - x_2)^2 + (1 - y_2)^2 + (4 - z_2)^2}

we can simplify it a bit squaring both sides, and getting rid of the subscripts.

(3 - x)^2 + (4 - y)^2 + (-5 - z)^2 = (-2 - x)^2 + (1 - y)^2 + (4 - z)^2

what we have done here is formulated an equation which consists of any point P that will have the same distance from (3,4,-5) and (-2,1,4).

To put it more concretely,

This is the equation of the the plane from that consists of all points (P) from which the distance from both (3,4,-5) and (-2,1,4) are equal.

Answer:

  D)  5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose there are 30 girls at the school. Then the proportions tell you that 12 of them study music, and 5 of them study both music and dance.

Then 5 of the 12 girls who study music also study dance. That fraction is 5/12.

_____

We chose 30 because it is the least common multiple of the denominators of the fractions (2/5, 3/5, 1/6) in the problem statement.

Of course, you know that 2/5·30 = 12, and 1/6·30 = 5.
