Answer:

25 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the inequality:

190 + 60x ≤ 1740  where  x = the number of boxes of books.

60x  ≤  1740 - 190

60x   ≤  1550

x ≤ 25.83.

Answer:

25 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the amount of boxes of books that can be brought up, subtract the weight of the delivery person from the maximum capacity: 1740 - 190 = 1550 lbs left to fill by the boxes

To find the amount of books able to be brought up, divide the capacity left by the weight of each of the boxes: 1550/60 = 25.8 books able to be carried up, without exceeding, meaning that the delivery person can bring up 25 boxes of books without the service elevator collapsing

Hope this helps :)

After driving 152 ​km, 4/5 of a trip is completed. How long is the total​ trip? How many more kilometers must be driven to compl
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

1. Total Trip Distance = 190 kilometers

2. To complete the trip, 38 more kilometers left


Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Let total trip be x kilometers.

So we can say

<em>"152 is \frac{4}{5} of total" --- this into equation is:</em>

152=\frac{4}{5}x\\x=\frac{152}{\frac{4}{5}}\\x=190


Total trip is 190 km.


2.

Since already driven 152, to complete 190, you have to drive  190-152=38 kilometers more.

So, 38 more kilometers to complete the trip.
