STEP 1
calculate total ounces

= 16 oz/lb * 3 lbs
= 48 ounces


STEP 2
calculate number of bolts; divide total weight (48 ounces) by ounces per bolt

x= number of bolts purchased


x= 48 ounces ÷ 1/15 oz per bolt

x= 48 ÷ 1/15
to divide by fraction; multiply by reciprocal of 1/15

x= 48 * 15/1

x= 720 bolts


ANSWER: He purchased 720 bolts

Hope this helps! :)

How do I graph the parabola?
scoundrel [369]
First of all, find a program or a calculator that will give you the answer. Then you'll know how to make your table. I recommend Desmos. I have inserted the final graph for you.

Make up a table for this graph. Put the lowest point as the central entry in your graph.

x      y
-4
-3
-2
-1
0
Now fill in the y values. 

x       y
-4      1
-3       -3.5
-2        -5
-1       -3.5
0         1

You can use the outline of the parabola and then mark the outline with the points in the table.

A certain theatre is shaped so that the first row has 23 seats and, moving towards the back, each successive row has 2 seats mor
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

There are 30 rows in the theater.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given terms.

Seats in order 23,25,27.... will form an Arithmetic progression.

As the common difference d=2,same for three consecutive terms so this an AP.

Now accordingly we can put the AP terms.

Total number of seats S_{n}=1560

Seats in the first row a=23

Seats in the last row l=81

Summation of n terms in AP(S_{n})

S_n={\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]}

OR

S_n=\frac{n}{2}[a+l]

Using the second equation.

S_n=\frac{n}{2}[a+l]

1560=\frac{n}{2}[23+81]

n=\frac{2\times 1560}{23+81}=\frac{3120}{104}=30

So the number of rows (n) in the theater =30
