With the ten children already in the elevator, the weight is at 400 pounds. Therefore you have 1,100 pounds before reaching the maximum weight. So about 7 adults can get in.

If the lift can have 1,500pounds you will have to subtract the children first.
40pounds x 10children=400pounds
1500pounds-400pounds=1100

Then you will have to do
1100 / 150 to work out the adults amount

The equals 7.33 so you would need to round it down ,




therefore 7adults can fit in the lift

I don’t know the answer. Please someone help :)

Answer:

\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, all we need is to points on the line.

Judging by that graph, we can see a point at (0,1) and at (5,4).

Simply enter this into the slope formula and you'll have your slope.

\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Your y1 term is 1, your y2 term is 4.

Your x1 term is 0, your x2 term is 5.

\frac{4-1}{5-0} \\\\\frac{3}{5}

Your slope is \frac{3}{5}.

a rectangular box with two sqaure opposite ends is to hold 8000 cubic inches. find the dimensions of the cheapest box if tge rec
AveGali [126]

Answer:

the dimensions of the box that minimizes the cost are 5 in x 40 in x 40 in

Step-by-step explanation:

since the box has a volume V

V= x*y*z = b=8000 in³

since y=z (square face)

V= x*y² = b=8000 in³

and the cost function is

cost = cost of the square faces *  area of square faces + cost of top and bottom * top and bottom areas + cost of the rectangular sides * area of the rectangular sides

C = a* 2*y² +  a* 2*x*y + 15*a* 2*x*y =  2*a* y² +  32*a*x*y

to find the optimum we can use Lagrange multipliers , then we have 3  simultaneous equations:

x*y*z = b

Cx - λ*Vx = 0 → 32*a*y -  λ*y² = 0 → y*( 32*a-λ*y) = 0 → y=32*a/λ

Cy - λ*Vy = 0  → (4*a*y + 32*a*x) - λ*2*x*y = 0

4*a*32/λ  + 32*a*x - λ*2*x*32*a/λ = 0

128*a² /λ +  32*a*x - 64*a*x = 0

32*a*x = 128*a² /λ

x  = 4*a/λ

x*y² = b

4*a/λ * (32*a/λ)² = b

(a/λ)³ *4096 =  8000 m³

(a/λ) = ∛ ( 8000 m³/4096 ) = 5/4 in

then

x  = 4*a/λ = 4*5/4 in = 5 in

y=32*a/λ = 32*5/4 in = 40 in

then the box has dimensions 5 in x 40 in x 40 in
