Answer:

Jasmine can load maximum of 25 boxes with herself on the elevator.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weight of Jasmine = 150 lb

Weight of each boxes  = 72 lb

Load elevator can carry = 2000 lb

we need to find the number of boxes that can be loaded

Let number of boxes be 'x'

Now we know that Maximum load the elevator can carry is 2000 lb.

So We can say Weight of jasmine plus Number of boxes multiplied by Weight of each boxes should be less than or equal to Load elevator can carry.

Framing in equation form we get;

150+72x\leq 2000

Solving the equation we get:

We will first Subtract 150 on both side;

150+72x-150\leq 2000-150\\\\72x\leq 1850

Now Dividing both side by 72 by using Division property we get;

\frac{72x}{72}\leq \frac{1850}{72}\\\\x\leq 25.69

Hence Jasmine can load maximum of 25 boxes with herself on the elevator.

Simplify square root of 2 over cube root of 2.
Fed [463]

Answer:

2 to the power of one sixth

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you don't already know this, any type of root can be expressed as an exponent. Generally speaking:

\sqrt[n]{x}  =  {x}^{ \frac{1}{n} }

So you can rewrite the given fraction as

\frac{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} } }{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{3} } }

and then reduce as you normally would. That is, if the bases of the numerator and denominator are the same, then you can subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent like so:

\frac{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} } }{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{3} } }  =  {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} -  \frac{1}{3}  }

Since

\frac{1}{2}  -  \frac{1}{3}  =  \frac{3}{6}  -  \frac{2}{6}  =  \frac{1}{6}

the answer is

{2}^{ \frac{1}{6} }  \: or \:  \sqrt[6]{2}

Suzy has a collection of quarters and dimes. Together she has 44 coins worth $6.95. How many quarters and how many dimes does Su
OverLord2011 [107]
X = quarters
y = dimes

0.25x + 0.10y = 6.95 or 25x + 10y = 695
x + y = 44

25x + 10y = 695
25 (x + y = 44)

25x + 10y = 695

25x + 25y = 1,100

-15y = -405
y = 27 dimes
and 17 quarters
