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

Option 2: \frac{x-12}{4} is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given fraction is:

\frac{2x-24}{8}

In order to simplify, we can see that the function is already in compact form

So,

We can simplify the given fraction.

We can see that the numerator can be further simplified

\frac{2(x-12)}{8}\\=\frac{x-12}{4}

Hence,

Option 2: \frac{x-12}{4} is the correct answer
