The first thing you must do is to calculate the weight of the gravel (w) that the truck holds (7.5 yards³). So, you have:
If the weight of 1 yard³ is 1.48 tons, then the weight of 7.5 yards³ is:
w=7.5x1.48 tons
w=11.1 tons
The problem says that the gravel will be placed in containers that each hold 3.7 tons of gravel,so, If they need 1 cotainer to place 3.7 tons, how many containers they need to place 11.1 tons?
1 container-------3.7 tons of gravel
x-------11.1 tons of gravel
x=(11.1x1)/3.7
x=11.1/3.7
x=3 containers
H<span>ow many containers of this size are needed to hold all the gravel from one truck?

The answer is: 3 containers.
3×3=9 miles. As a result, hiker traveled total 9 miles in that time. Hope it help!
This one was though, but I think it might be y= -1/12x - 53/12.
Hope I helped!
You can calculate it using the law of cosines: c^2=a^2+b^2-2*a*b*cos(C)
your triangle is
CD=15=a
CE=?=b
DE=CE+3=b+3=c
and C=90°
-> insert those values, with c substituted with b+3 to remove c
c^2=a^2+b^2-2*a*b*cos(C)
(b+3)^2=15^2+b^2-2*15*b*cos(90)
cos(90)=0->
(b+3)^2=15^2+b^2
b^2+2*3*b+3^2=225+b^2
6b+9=225
6b=216
b=36=CE
DE=CE+3=36+3=39
