Let a = weight of large box in pounds
Let b = weight of small box in pounds
(1) 65a + 70b=4000
(2) a+b=60
Now we can simultaneously solve these equations.
a = 60 - b. Hence 65(60 - b) + 70b = 4000 So 3900 + 5b = 4000 and 100 = 5b hence b = 20.
SImilarly a = 40. Now we can verify too by putting in the calculated values.
Your answer for rounding 2.8497 x 10^3 is correct: 2.85 x 10^3.
350.0 is not correct because it has 4 sig figs. The proper rounding would be simply 350. with not additional zeros.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
|x| means absolute value
|x| means if x is positive or negative, its still positive
-5|x|+4=14
-5|x|=10
|x|= -2
answer is 2
Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
When dividing fractions, we use a rule where we keep the first number, change the sign, and flip the second number.
3 1/3 must be converted to an improper fraction before we can do this, though.
3 1/3 is 10/3 because we multiply 3 by the denominator, also 3, and then add one, so 10/3.
Now we can divide. Remember 4 is the same thing as 4/1
10/3 ÷ 4/1
Keep the first fraction the same, change the division sign into a multiplication sign, and divide by flip the second fraction.
It ends up looking like 10/3 x 1/4
Multiply: 10 x 1 and 3 x 4
It's 10/12, but we can simplify that by dividing both the top and the bottom by 2.
The final answer is 5/6
