The total amount after 5 years would be $2,650
Irst thought: since he needs 7 3/4 tons, and each load can carry LESS than a ton, he'll need to make MORE than 7 3/4 loads. So when you get your answer, make sure it it passes that common sense test. Next: He's got to divide the 7 3/4 ton total among all those loads, 3/4 ton at a time. So he needs to divide: 7 3/4 divided by 3/4. It will be easier to do the math if we turn 7 3/4 into an improper fraction, which will be 31/4. So we have to divide 31/4 divided by 3/4, which will give us 10, with 1/4 left over, for a total of 10 1/4 loads. BUT: the wording is that each load carries AT MOST 3/4 ton, so he may carry less than that amount in any given load(s). So he needs to do an amount GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 10 3/4 loads. For practical purposes, that means he has to fill his truck (at least part way) 11 different times. (Think of it as completely filled the first 10 times, and 3/4 filled on the 11th/final time.)
Answer:
34
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = number of stamps ranu gives out and the number of stamps cathy receives
200 - x = 132 + x
combine like term s
200 - 132 = 2x
68 = 2x
x = 34
To empty the pool, you need to lower the water level by 150cm. since you can only lower it by 30cm every 2 hours (also same as 15 cm per hour), that means it will take you 10 hours.
150cm*(2 hours)/(30cm) = 150*(1/15) = 150/15 = 10.
6 a.m. + 10 hours = 4 p.m.
So the answer is C.) 4 p.m.
