Answer:

  • a) 2868 lbs 12 oz
  • b) 7 tons 254 lbs 10 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

a) There are 16 ounces in a pound, so 10 ounces is 10/16 = 5/8 lb. The total weight of the pigs is their number multiplied by their average weight:

... weight of pigs = 30 × 95 5/8 lb = ((30·95) + (30·5/8)) lb

... = (2850 + 150/8) lb = (2850 +18 3/4) lb = 2868 lb 12 oz

b) The truck tare weight is the gross weight less the weight of the pigs.

... truck tare = truck gross - truck load

... = (8×2000 lb) + (1123 lb) + (6/16 lb) - (2868 3/4 lb)

... = 17123 3/8 lb - 2868 3/4 lb = (17123 -2868) lb +(3/8 -3/4) lb

... = 14255 lb - 3/8 lb

... = 14254 5/8 lb

... = 14000 lb + 254 lb + 5/8 lb

... truck tare weight = 7 tons 254 lbs 10 oz

A hot bowl of soup cools according to Newtons law of cooling. Its temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) at time t is given by T(t)
nata0808 [166]
212°F
147°F
23.2 min

1) Initial temperature for t=0
T(0)=68+144e^(0)=68+144=212°F
2) After 15 min
T(15)=68+144e^(-0.04*15)=68+144e^(-0.6)=147°F
3) 125°F -> t=?
125=68+144e^(-0.04t)
144e^(-0.04t)=125-68=57
e^(-0.04t)=57/144=0.4 you can apply ln on both sides:
-0.04t=ln(0.4) solving you get t=23.3 min

Suppose you just purchased a digital music player and have put 15 tracks on it. After listening to them you decide that you like
Lilit [14]
The given case is an example of permutation problem because the order is important given that you should like the first two songs. The sample space is calculated through the equation, 
                                       15P2 = 210
Then, there are 3 songs that you liked, the probability of picking 2 out of them is,
                                         3P2 = 6
Dividing the latter by the earlier result will give us an answer of 1/35.

Answer:

x = 51

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-3) /4 = 12

Multiply each side by 4

(x-3) /4 *4 = 12*4

x-3 = 48

Add 3 to each side

x-3+3 = 48+3

x = 51
