Answer:

2667 dump truck loads

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this exercise, we must resort to a proportion rule.

Knowing what happened in the first place, how much was needed, a direct proportion will be made with the other accident, be as follows.

Landslide                                     Dump Truck Loads

3 yd ^ 3 -------------------------------------------> 200

40 yd ^ 3 -------------------------------------------> X

X = (40 * 200) / 3

X = 2666.6, that is, for 40 cubic yards of sliding, approximately 2667 dump truck loads are needed.

here are some numbers: 8, 11, 13, 18, 25, 37 8, 13 , 18 is an arithmetic progression and the rule is to add 5 use three of the n
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Progression: 11, 18, 25

Rule: Add 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

List of numbers: 8, 11, 13, 18, 25, 37

Sample Progression: 8, 13, 18; with common difference of 5

Required

Form a different progression using any three listed numbers

To solve this; we'll make use of trial and error methods;

<em>NB: I've tried several numbers; So, I'll just stick to the one that works</em>

To start with;

Select ->11

Add 7 to 11: 11 + 7 - > 18

Add 7 to 18: 18 + 7 -> 25

With the above illustration, we've successfully used three numbers (11, 18 and 25) to form a new progression and the rule is to add 7

Answer:

(2,-5) and (2,1).

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the find all the points having an x coordinate of 2 whose distance from the point (-2,-4) is 5.

A circle with center (-2,-4) and radius 5 represents all the points whose distance from the point (-2,-4) is 5.

Standard form of a circle is

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

where, (h,k) is center and r is the radius.

(x-(-2))^2+(y-(-4))^2=(5)^2

(x+2)^2+(y+2)^2=25

Now, put x=2.

(2+2)^2+(y+2)^2=25

(4)^2+(y+2)^2=25

(y+2)^2=25-16

(y+2)^2=9

Taking square root on both sides.

y+2=\pm\sqrt{9}

y+2=\pm3

y+2=-3\text{ or }y+2=3

y=-5\text{ or }y=1

So, the y-coordinates of the points are -5 and 1.

Therefore, the required points are (2,-5) and (2,1).

Find the probability. An IRS auditor randomly selects 3 tax returns (without replacement) from 47 returns of which 5 contain err
grin007 [14]
Number of returns = 47
Number of returns that contain errors = 5
Number of returns that does not contain error = 47 - 5 = 42

P(selecting none that contains error in the unreplaced selection) = 42/47 x 41/46 x 40/45 = 68880 / 97290 = 0.708

option C is the correct answer.
