Answer:

The actual length of the bridge is 600 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale on a map is

\frac{1}{40,000}

That means

1 unit on a map represent 40,000 units in the actual

1 cm on a map represent 40,000 cm in the actual

Remember that

1/ m=100/ cm

so

40,000\ cm=40,000/100=400\ m

we can rewrite the scale as

\frac{1}{400}\frac{cm}{m}

using proportion

Find out the actual length of the bridge in meters if the length of a bridge on a map is 1.5 cm.

Let

x ----> the the actual length of the bridge in meters

\frac{1}{400}\frac{cm}{m}=\frac{1.5}{x}\frac{cm}{m}\\\\x=400(1.5)\\\\x=600\ m

If it took you (one person) 3 days to build a doghouse, then it should take 2 people to build it in half the time. So all we have to do is split 3 days in 2. 

3/2 = 1.5 
So it would take 1 1/2 days or 36 hours for 2 people to complete the doghouse.

Ms. Carr's Class Is Selling Magazines To Raise Money For A Field Trip. The Students In The Class Device They Wanted To Make 5.50
FinnZ [79.3K]

Here you are giving only the amount they want to raise (namely profit times number of magazines sold), and here you are also giving Money they want to raise... So clarifying, the money they want to raise, should include the money they will spend on buying the magazines (there is no statement saying they found them, or were given the magazines, so a cost should be involved) 

Now if they are only making the count of "Field trip costs X amount of money, and given we have to make a profit of $5.5, How many must we sell?" then the equation should be n=X/5.5 

Should the story be, how much money must they raise to have a profit of 5.5 on each magazine and still have enough for the field trip, then you have a different equation which varies only in adding the cost of each magazine, either case, M should be defined not as money they need to raise (cause here they will be short on their goal) but Money they must earn. And again, you should rewrite your equation to be: 

M=Amount they must raise 
C=Cost per magazine 
n=Number of magazines 
p=profit $5.5 per magazine 

C+p=M/n 

And rewriting the previous they should make: 

n(C+p)=M -----> n(C+5.5)=M <span>m/n = 5.50 </span>
<span>m/n x n = 5.50 x n //// multiply each side by n </span>

<span>m = 5.5n</span>

MissTica

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Restrained Force F=116 N

Increase in Kinetic Energy \Delta K.E.=30 J

Distance moved d=1.9 m

Work done by all the forces is equal to change in Kinetic Energy of Object i.e. by gravity force, Normal force and Applied Force

\Delta K.E.=W_g+W_f+W_N

30=W_g-F\cdot d

30=W_g-116\cdot 1.9

W_g=250.4 J

(b)In absence of applied force thus

work done by gravity will be equal to  change in kinetic Energy

change in Kinetic Energy=210 J
