Answer:
128
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 29/28
Step-by-step explanation:
-2/7 x (-3 5/8)
= -2/7 x -29/8
= 2/7 x 29/8 = 1/7 x 29/4
= 29/28
Answer:
The Great Ocean Conveyor Belt
Step-by-step explanation:
The ocean is not a still body of water. There is constant motion in the ocean in the form of a global ocean conveyor belt. This motion is caused by a combination of thermohaline currents (thermo = temperature; haline = salinity) in the deep ocean and wind-driven currents on the surface. Cold, salty water is dense and sinks to the bottom of the ocean while warm water is less dense and remains on the surface.
The ocean conveyor gets its “start” in the Norwegian Sea, where warm water from the Gulf Stream heats the atmosphere in the cold northern latitudes. This loss of heat to the atmosphere makes the water cooler and denser, causing it to sink to the bottom of the ocean. As more warm water is transported north, the cooler water sinks and moves south to make room for the incoming warm water. This cold bottom water flows south of the equator all the way down to Antarctica. Eventually, the cold bottom waters returns to the surface through mixing and wind-driven upwelling, continuing the conveyor belt that encircles the globe.
Answer: 63lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
The truck can only hold 16crates and each crate weigh 12lbs, the total weight of the 16 crates will be 12×16= 192lbs
This shows that the truck can only contain extra load of 1200lbs - 192lbs = 1008lbs (excluding weight of crates).
To get the shipment weigh close to the total of 1200lbs, the truck must be loaded with engine components not more than 1008lbs.
Since we have 16 crates to fill with engine components not more than 1008lb, each crates will therefore must not exceed 1008/16 pounds of engine components which is equivalent to 63lbs.
Therefore, the manager should instruct the workers to put 63lbs of machine components in "each crate" in order to get the shipment weight as close as possible to 1200 lbs.
