A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The combined weight of a large box and a small box is 75 p

ounds. The truck is transporting 70 large boxes and 60 small boxes. If the truck is carrying a total of 4900 pounds in boxes, how much does each type of box weigh?

For the total pounds of the truck to be 4900 pounds

large = 40 pounds

small = 35 pounds

to see that this answer is correct
40x70=2800
35x60=2100
+=4900

Write the ratio 12 to 18 as a fraction in simplest form.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Thus, 2/3 is the simplified fraction for 12/18 by using the GCD or HCF method. Thus, 2/3 is the simplified fraction for 12/18 by using the prime factorization method.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a fraction to a ratio, first write down the numerator, or top number. Second, write a colon. Thirdly, write down the denominator, or bottom number. For example, the fraction 1/6 can be written as the ratio 1:6.

Determine whether each expression is equivalent to 49^2t – 0.5.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

None of the expression are equivalent to $49^{(2t - 0.5)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$49^{(2t - 0.5)}$

Required

Find its equivalents

We start by expanding the given expression

$49^{(2t - 0.5)}$

Expand 49

$(7^2)^{(2t - 0.5)}$

$7^2^{(2t - 0.5)}$

Using laws of indices: $(a^m)^n = a^{mn}$

$7^{(2*2t - 2*0.5)}$

$7^{(4t - 1)}$

This implies that; each of the following options A,B and C must be equivalent to $49^{(2t - 0.5)}$ or alternatively, $7^{(4t - 1)}$

A. $\frac{7^{2t}}{49^{0.5}}$

Using law of indices which states;

$a^{mn} = (a^m)^n$

Applying this law to the numerator; we have

$\frac{(7^{2})^{t}}{49^{0.5}}$

Expand expression in bracket

$\frac{(7 * 7)^{t}}{49^{0.5}}$

$\frac{49^{t}}{49^{0.5}}$

Also; Using law of indices which states;

$\frac{a^{m}}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$

$\frac{49^{t}}{49^{0.5}}$ becomes

$49^{t-0.5}}$

This is not equivalent to $49^{(2t - 0.5)}$

B. $\frac{49^{2t}}{7^{0.5}}$

Expand numerator

$\frac{(7*7)^{2t}}{7^{0.5}}$

$\frac{(7^2)^{2t}}{7^{0.5}}$

Using law of indices which states;

$(a^m)^n = a^{mn}$

Applying this law to the numerator; we have

$\frac{7^{2*2t}}{7^{0.5}}$

$\frac{7^{4t}}{7^{0.5}}$

Also; Using law of indices which states;

$\frac{a^{m}}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$

$\frac{7^{4t}}{7^{0.5}}$ = $7^{4t - 0.5}$

This is also not equivalent to $49^{(2t - 0.5)}$

C. $7^{2t}\ *\ 49^{0.5}$

$7^{2t}\ *\ (7^2)^{0.5}$

$7^{2t}\ *\ 7^{2*0.5}$

$7^{2t}\ *\ 7^{1}$

Using law of indices which states;

$a^m*a^n = a^{m+n}$

$7^{2t+ 1}$

This is also not equivalent to $49^{(2t - 0.5)}$

What is the distributive property of 4+10

IgorC [24]

Answer:

2(2 +5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We presume you want to rewrite the expression making use of the distributive property. For that, it is helpful to find a factor common to the two terms. The GCD of 4 and 10 is 2, so we can factor that out:

4 + 10 = 2(2 +5)

_____

Of course, you can use any factor you like. It doesn't need to be an integer.

= (1/3)(12 +30)

= 0.4(10 +25)

= 4(1 +2.5)
