Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> kilograms of cement needed

y ----> kilograms of sand needed

z ----> kilograms of gravel needed

we know that

x:y:z=1:3:4 ----> x+y+z=1+3+4=8

x+y+z=480\ kg

Divide 480 by 8

480/8=60 ----> scale factor

Multiply the scale factor by the ratio 1:3:4

<em>Find out the kilograms of cement needed</em>

60(1)=60\ kg

<em>Find out the kilograms of sand needed</em>

60(3)=180\ kg

<em>Find out the kilograms of gravel needed</em>

60(4)=240\ kg

1. Storing milk at temperatures colder than 35°F can affect its quality of taste. However, storing milk at temperatures warmer t
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Part (A): The required inequality is T < 35 or t >40.

Part (B): The correct option is C) Only x=7.

Part (C) |x+1|+5=2 has no solution; |4x+12|=0 has one solution; |3x|=9 has two solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Part (A)

Storing milk at temperatures colder than 35°F can affect its quality of taste. However, storing milk at temperatures warmer than 40°F is an unsafe food practice.

The union is written as A∪B or “A or B”.

The intersection of two sets is written as A∩B or “A and B”

We need to determine the inequalities represent the union of these improper storage.

That means we will use A∪B or “A or B”.

The improper storage temperatures is when temperature is less than 35°F or greater than 40°F.

Hence, the required inequality is T < 35 or t >40.

Part (B) 15| x-7|+4=10|x-7|+4

Solve the inequality as shown below:

Subtract 4 from both sides.

15| x-7|+4-4=10|x-7|+4-4

Subtract 10|x-7| from both sides

15\left|x-7\right|-10\left|x-7\right|=10\left|x-7\right|-10\left|x-7\right|

5\left|x-7\right|=0\\\left|x-7\right|=0\\x=7

Hence, the correct option is C) Only x=7.

Part (C) Match the solution,

\left|x+1\right|+5=2

Subtract 2 from both sides.

\left|x+1\right|=-3

Absolute value cannot be less than 0.

Hence, |x+1|+5=2 has no solution.

|4x+12|=0

4x+12=0

x=-3

Hence, |4x+12|=0 has one solution.

|3x|=9

\mathrm{If}\:|u|\:=\:a,\:a>0\:\mathrm{then}\:u\:=\:a\:\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:u\:=\:-a

3x=-9\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:3x=9\\x=-3\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x=3

Hence, |3x|=9 has two solution.
