Take 8 and divide it by 3 1/3. to make it easer 1/3 could be .3 as a decimal.
so 8 divided by 3.3.
8/3.3= 2.42
so it would be 2.42 tons of sugar per container.

Alex was biking along a 48 mile trail. First half of the time he was biking twice as fast as the second half of the time. If he
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The speed in the first part is 16 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance is 48 miles. The total time is 4 hours.

In the second part of the trip, he was traveling at speed s for distance d for 2 hours.

In the first part of the trip he was traveling at twice the speed, or 2s, for distance 48 - d, for 2 hours.

speed = distance/time

distance = speed * time

First part of trip:

48 - d = 2s * 2

d + 4s = 48   Equation 1

Second part of the trip:

d = s * 2

d = 2s    Equation 2

Equations 1 and 2 form a system of equations in two unknowns, d and s.

d + 4s = 48

d = 2s

Substitute 2s for d in equation 1.

2s + 4s = 48

6s = 48

s = 8

The speed in the second part is 8 mph.

The speed in the first part is 2s = 2(8) = 16.

The speed in the first part is 16 mph.

Check:

d = 2s = 2(8) = 16

48 - d = 48 - 16 = 32

The second part is 16 miles. The first part is 32 miles.

16 miles at 8 mph takes 2 hours.

32 miles at 16 mph takes 2 hours.

2 hours + 2 hours = 4 hours.

Our answer is correct.

Answer: The speed in the first part is 16 mph.

I can't see the line very well, but the initial value, also known as the y-intercept, is 1. I would tell you the rate of change but like I said I can't see the line very well, but count across from where the line touches the y axis until you can go up and hit a corner of a square on the grid and the line.. if that makes sense. I hope this helps!

Help ASAP. Can somebody please tell if this is the correct answer. If not put the correct answer And help me if I need to graph
RSB [31]

Answer: closed circle pointing to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the inequality equation is

6 ( 2 - 3y ) < = 36

Open the bracket

12 - 18y < = 36

Collect the like terms

- 18y < = 36 - 12

Make y the subject of formula

The inequality sign will change the moment you multiply or divide both sides by negative numbers

Y > = - 24/18

Y > = - 4/3

That is y is greater than or equal to negative 4/3

Graphing the above inequality,

The point will be between -2 and -1. And it will be closer to -1.

The arrow will point to the right and it will be a closed circle since it is greater than or equal to.
