A tractor trailer weighs 80,000 pounds. Two tractor trailers come upon a bridge with a sign saying it can only handle 100 tons.

How many tons are still available before the bridge reaches its weight limit?

Answer: 20 tons are still available before the bridge reaches its weight limit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The weight of one tractor = 80,000 pounds

Then, the weight of two tractors = $2\times80,000=160,000\text{ pounds}$

We know that 1 ton = 2,000 pounds

$\Rightarrow\ 1\text{ pound}=\frac{1}{2000}\text{ton}$

Therefore, $160,000\text{ pounds}=\frac{160,000}{2,000}\text{ tons}=80\text{ tons}$

Thus, the weight of two tractors come upon a bridge =80 tons

Since, the limit of bridge to handle the maximum weight of 100 tons.

∴ Number of tons still available before the bridge reaches its weight limit=

$100-80=20\text{ tons}$

Two tractor trailers would weigh 160,000 pounds, which is equal to 80 tons. 100-80= 20 tons that are still available.

A square has an area of 576 square inches. How long is each side in feet?

Leto [7]

Area = Length x Width
A square has even sides so
576 = x^2
so find the square root of 576 and you have your answer

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Catherine's sister ate 2/15 gallons of the ice cream.

$\displaystyle \frac{2}{15}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the amount of ice cream that Catherine's sister ate, in gallons.

Original amount: 1 gallon.

What Catherine ate: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{5}$ gallons.
What Catherine's sister ate is assumed to be $x$ gallons.

What's left: $\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$ gallons.

Consider the relationship:

$\text{Original amount - What Catherine ate - What Catherine's Sister ate}\\ =\text{ What's left.}$ .

That is:

$\displaystyle 1- \frac{1}{5} - x = \frac{2}{3}$ .

Add $x$ to both sides of this equation:

$\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{3} +x$

Substract $\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$ from both sides:

$\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{2}{3} = x$ .

Convert the denominator of all three numbers on the left-hand side to $3 \times 5 = 15$

$\displaystyle \frac{15}{15} - \frac{3}{15} - \frac{10}{15} = x$ .

$\displaystyle x = \frac{2}{15}$ .

In other words, Catherine's sister ate $\displaystyle \frac{2}{15}$ gallons of the ice cream.

Suppose that the mean water hardness of lakes in Kansas is 425 mg/L and these values tend to follow a normal distribution. A lim

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The mean water hardness of lakes in Kansas is 425 mg/L or greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

346, 496, 352, 378, 315, 420, 485, 446, 479, 422, 494, 289, 436, 516, 615, 491, 360, 385, 500, 558, 381, 303, 434, 562, 496

Formula:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{10959}{25} =438.36$

Sum of squares of differences = 175413.76

$S.D = \sqrt{\dfrac{175413.76}{24}} = 85.49$

Population mean, μ = 425 mg/L

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 438.36

Sample size, n = 25

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 85.49

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu \geq 425\text{ mg per Litre}\\H_A: \mu < 425\text{ mg per Litre}$

We use one-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{438.36 - 425}{\frac{85.49}{\sqrt{25}} } = 0.7813$

Now, $t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 24 degree of freedom } = -1.7108$

Since,

The calculated t-statistic is greater than the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and accept it.

Thus, the mean water hardness of lakes in Kansas is 425 mg/L or greater.
