Lauren coordinates a construction projects for a cement company. A government project requires constructing two rectangular conc

rete slabs of dimensions 24× 24× 1 feet. Additionally, the company sends a 20% surplus of concrete to ensure the job can be completed. If a cement truck can carry a maximum of 8 cubic yards of cement, what’s the fewest number of trucks that Lauren should send? A)1 B)2 C)3 D)4 E)5

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Total concrete for slabs

24 * 24 * 1 = 576 ft³

Additional 20 %

By rule of three      

if     576       ⇒    100

        x??      ⇒     20           x = 115,2

And there are 2 slabs, the total volume of concrete is:

Q(t)  = 2* (576 + 115,2 )      Q(t)  =  1382,4 ft³   (1)

If the truck can carry a maximum of 8 yd³, as 1 ft³  = 0,037 yd³

then a truck can carry a maximum of

8/ 0,037   =  216,21 ft³

Now the total quantity is 1382,4

Then  

1382,4/216,21        =  6,39

And as nobody can send a fraction of a truck , the fewest number of truck is 7

Do the ratios 5:3 and 13:8 form a proportion?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

  No

Step-by-step explanation:

Each ratio is irreducible, and they are different. Hence they are not the same value, so cannot be a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios.

  5 : 3 = 40 : 24

  13 : 8 = 39 : 24 . . . . not the same as 40 : 24

_____

<em>Examples of proportions</em>

  5/3 = 40/24 . . . is a proportion

  13/8 = 39/24 . . . is a proportion

Suppose a tank contains 400 gallons of salt water. If pure water flows into the tank at the rate of 7 gallons per minute and the
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a differential equation problem most easily solved with an exponential decay equation of the form

y=Ce^{kt}. We know that the initial amount of salt in the tank is 28 pounds, so

C = 28. Now we just need to find k.

The concentration of salt changes as the pure water flows in and the salt water flows out. So the change in concentration, where y is the concentration of salt in the tank, is \frac{dy}{dt}. Thus, the change in the concentration of salt is found in

\frac{dy}{dt}= inflow of salt - outflow of salt

Pure water, what is flowing into the tank, has no salt in it at all; and since we don't know how much salt is leaving (our unknown, basically), the outflow at 3 gal/min is 3 times the amount of salt leaving out of the 400 gallons of salt water at time t:

3(\frac{y}{400})

Therefore,

\frac{dy}{dt}=0-3(\frac{y}{400}) or just

\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{3y}{400} and in terms of time,

-\frac{3t}{400}

Thus, our equation is

y=28e^{-\frac{3t}{400} and filling in 16 for the number of minutes in t:

y = 24.834 pounds of salt
