Answer:

Jack can take only 1 horse on his trailer to be towed by the truck without going over the maximum weight the truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of 1 horse = 1,200 lb

Weight of trailer = 2,700 lb

Jacks'truck can tow a maximum of 5000 pounds.

To find the maximum number of horses Jack can take in his trailer without going over the maximum weight his truck can tow.

Solution:

Let the maximum number of horses that Jack can take be = x

Using unitary method to find weight of x horses.

If 1 horse weights = 1,200 lb

Then x horses will weight in lbs = 1,200\times x = 1,200x

Total weight of horses and trailer in lbs = 1200x+2700

Since the maximum weight the truck can tow = 5,000 lb, so the inequality can be given as:

1200x+2700\leq5000

Subtracting both sides by 2700.

1200x+2700-2700\leq5000-2700

1200x\leq2300

Dividing both sides by 1200.

\frac{1200x}{1200}\leq\frac{2300}{1200}

x\leq1.91

From the inequality solution for x, we can conclude that Jack can take only 1 horse on his trailer to be towed by the truck without going over the maximum weight the truck.

Please help.. I will give points
Daniel [21]

A. 8^9/2= around 11585.2375; (sqrt8)^9= around 11585.2375. So choice A shows a pair of equivalent expressions.

B. (3sqrt125)^9=1,953,125; 125^9/3=1,953,125. So choice B also shows a pair of equivalent expressions.

C. 12^2/7= around 2.03394; (sqrt12)^7= around 5,985.96759. So choice C does not show a pair of equivalent expressions.

D. 4^1/5=around 1.31951; (sqrt4)^5=32. So choice D also doesn't show a pair of equivalent expressions.

Your answers are A and B.

I hope this helps ;)

What is 0.68 expressed as a fraction in simplest form? Both the 6 and the 8 repeat.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

68/99

Step-by-step explanation:

.68686868686 repeating

Let x= .68686868668repeating

Multiply by 100

100x = 68.686868686repeating

Subtract x = .68686868repeating from this equation

100x = 68.686868686repeating

-x = .68686868repeating

------------------------------------------

99x = 68

Divide each side by 99

99x / 99 = 68/99

x = 68/99
