Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of concrete required to build the bridge is missing and should be provided.

In its absence, let us assign a letter to it.

Let the volume of concrete required to build the bridge be V ft³.

And we further assume that the concrete is the only major material needed to build the bridge for the sake of our question.

Density = (mass/volume)

Density = 150 lb/ft³

Mass = ?

Volume = V ft³

Mass = (Density) × (Volume)

Mass of concrete required = 150 × V = (150V) lb

Cost of concrete is 0.80 per lb

1 lb of concrete costs 0.80

150V of concrete will cost 150V × 0.80 = (120V) currency amount.

Now, depending on the value of V, we can now determine if the city planning commission (cpc) can afford the bridge.

If 120V > 300,000 budget, the cpc cannot afford the bridge, but if 300,000 budget > 120V, then the cpc can afford the bridge.

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the interval notation for the compound inequality? x is less than or equal to -4 or x is greater than or equal to 5?
Tems11 [23]

x is less than or equal to -4 or x is greater than or equal to 5

x <= -4 or x>= 5

There is no intersection of both inequalities when we graph it in number line So, we write the interval notation separately for each inequality

for x<=-4 , x starts at -4  and goes to -infinity because we have less than symbol. Also we have = sign so we use square brackets

Interval notation is (-∞ , -4]

for x>= 5 , x starts at 5  and goes to infinity because we have greater than symbol. Also we have = sign so we use square bracket at 5

Interval notation is [5 , ∞)

Now combine both notation by a 'U' symbol Union

(-∞ , -4] U [5 , ∞)

In one basketball season, Susan threw the ball and it went in the basket 56 times. If 7/8 of the baskets Susan threw were worth
Ket [755]

Answer:

119

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the number of baskets (56) by the denominator:

56 ÷ 8 = 7

Multiply by 7 to get the amount of 2 point baskets and multiply by 1 to get the amount of 3 point baskets. (they both add up to 56 baskets)

7 × 7 = 49

7 × 1 = 7

multiply the 49, 2 point baskets by 2 and the 7, 3 point baskets by 3 and add them together to get the total points.

49 × 2 = 98

7 × 3 = 21

98 + 21 = 119
