Convert "3/4 ton" into pounds. Use the identity 2000 lb = 1 ton.
2000 lb 1500 lb
Then [(3/4) ton] * ---------------- = ----------------
1 ton 1
Now divide 1500 lb by 4 lb 14 oz. Note that 4 lb 14 oz = 4 14/16 lb, or
4 7/8 lb, or 4.875 lb.
Then, divide 1500 lb by
4.875 lb
------------ to determine the number of bricks the truck can safely carry.
1 brick
This comes out to 1500/4.875 bricks, or approx. 307 bricks.
The answer to a division problem is the quotient
Answer:
l = 6
+ 2a - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
the area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as
A = lw ( l is the length and w the width )
given A = 18
+ 6a² - 3a and w = 3a , then
3aw = 18 + 6a² - 3a ( divide each term by 3a )
w = 
+ 
- 
= 6 + 2a - 1
399,499.
Since we are rounding to the nearest thousand, we are going to be focusing on mainly 39(9,499). The rule I learned is, "5 or above, give it a shove". Since it isn't 500 or above, we have to round it down to 9,000.
The total is 399,000.
