Answer:

Step 1 I’m given the weight of an article, its individual container, and the freight container that holds 20 of the smaller boxes. I’m required to find the gross weight, which is the total weight of the shipping container and its contents.

Step 2 The quantities are 20 articles weighing 10 lb each; 20 boxes weighing ½ lb each; and a 15 lb freight container.

Step 3 The gross weight is the weight of the 20 articles plus the 20 boxes plus the freight container.

Step 4 To calculate the gross weight, I’ll add the weights of the articles, boxes, and the freight container. To determine the weight of 20 articles and boxes, I’ll multiply the weight of each by 20.

Step 5 My calculations are as follows:  

Weight of 20 articles = 20 × 10 lb = 200 lb  

Weight of 20 boxes = 20 × ½ lb = 10 lb  

Weight of 20 articles and boxes = 210 lb

Weight of container = 15 lb  

Gross weight = 210 + 15 = 225 lb

The gross weight is 225 lb.

Step 6 The problem asked for gross weight, and I’ve found it. I can check my work like this:  

10 lb + ½ lb = 10 ½ lb (Weight of one article and one box)  

20 × 10 ½ lb = 210 lb (Weight of 20 articles and boxes)  

210 + 15 lb = 225 lb (Weight of articles, boxes, and container)  

The gross weight is 225 lb

(10+1/2)*20+15=10,5*20+15=210+15=225 lb

Dennis can walk 2.833 miles each hour . About how far can he walk in 3 hours and 15 minutes
Bezzdna [24]

well, let's split the hours in minutes, so since 1 hr is 60 minutes, so he can walk 2.833 miles in 60 minutes, well, 3 hrs is 3*60 = 180 minutes, then we add 15 minutes, that's 195 minutes.

if he can walk 2.833 miles in 60 minutes, how long will it be for 195 minutes?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} miles&minutes\\ \cline{1-2} 2.833&60\\ x&195 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.833}{x}=\cfrac{60}{195}\implies \cfrac{2.833}{x}=\cfrac{4}{13} \\\\\\ 36.829=4x\implies \cfrac{36.829}{4}=x\implies 9.20725 = x

USPshnik [31]
Depends on how the papers are connected. if they are connected with the 7cm side joining each other, use solution one. if they are connected with the 9cm side joining each other, use solution two.


perimeter of edges of sign= 2 [(9x3)+7]
= 68 inches

left over= 144-68
= 76 inches



OR


perimeter of edges of sign= 2[(7x3)+9]
= 60 inches

left over= 144-60
= 84 inches
