Answer:

a. 5 sets of tires

b. 16 times

Step-by-step explanation:

total distance commuted by the truck = 160,000 miles

a.tires of the truck are changed after every 40,000 miles

40,000 to 80,000 to 120,000 to 160,000 he will change his tires four times assuming he started his journey with the new tires. so, he needs uses a total of 5 sets of tires for the whole journey.

b. changes oil every 10,000 miles then to travel 160,000 miles

= $\frac{160,000}{10,000}$

= 16 times in whole journey

Answer:

I only got the answer for B, but its 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

You take 160,000 and divide it by 10,000. Why? If he goes 160,000 miles across america, and has to change it every 10,000 miles he gets 16. You're welcome!!!

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following information given in the problem:

- The angle of elevation from Madison to the top of the Statue of Liberty is 79 degrees.
- Madison is standing 58.2 feet from its base.

-Madison is 5 feet tall.

2. Therefore, you have:

Sinα=opposite/hypotenuse

Sin(79°)=x/58.2
x=(58.2)(Sin(79°))
x=57.13 ft

3. Now, you can calculate the height of the Statue of Liberty, as below:

height=x+5 ft
height=57.13 ft+5 ft
height=62.13 ft

4. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is: 62.13 ft
