Florence works in the shipping department of a toy factory that makes radio-controlled helicopters. Small helicopters weigh 3 ki

lograms each, and are shipped in a container that weighs 20 kilograms. Large ones, on the other hand, weigh 4 kilograms apiece, and are shipped in a container that weighs 10 kilograms. If these boxes can hold a certain number of helicopters each, all of the packed containers will have the same shipping weight. What would the total weight be?

Answer:

50 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

SMALL HELICOPTERS:

Weight of small helicopters = 3kg

Weight of shipping container = 20kg

LARGE HELICOPTERS:

Weight of large helicopters = 4kg

Weight of shipping container = 10kg

Number of helicopters each shipping container can hold = s ; all of the packed containers will have the same shipping weight

Shipping weight :

(Weight per helicopter * number of helicopter) + weight of shipping container

Shipping weight of Small helicopters :

(3kg * s) + 20

Shipping weight Large helicopters :

(4kg * S) + 10

Shipping weight of Small helicopters = shipping weight of large helicopters

3s + 20 = 4s + 10

20 - 10 = 4s - 3s

10 = s

Hence, member of shipped helicopters = 10

Total shipping weight :

(4 * S) + 10

(4*10) + 10

40 + 10 = 50kg

Find two positive numbers satisfying the given requirements. the product is 192 and the sum of the first plus three times the se
Zepler [3.9K]
<h3>Given</h3>

Two positive numbers x and y such that xy = 192

<h3>Find</h3>

The values that minimize x + 3y

<h3>Solution</h3>

y = 192/x . . . . . solve for y

f(x) = x + 3y

f(x) = x + 3(192/x) . . . . . the function we want to minimize

We can find the x that minimizes of f(x) by setting the derivative of f(x) to zero.

... f'(x) = 1 - 576/x² = 0

... 576 = x² . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by x², add 576

... √576 = x = 24 . . . . . . . take the square root

... y = 192/24 = 8 . . . . . . . find the value of y using the above equation for y

The first number is 24.

The second number is 8.

Answer:

In the morning

(3/4) (strawberries / minutes) * (60/1) (minutes / hours) = 45 (strawberries / hours)

in the afternoon

(2/3) (strawberries / minutes) * (60/1) (minutes / hours) = (40 strawberries / hours)

the difference between your morning and afternoon packing rates, in pints per hour is  45-40 = 5 (strawberries / hours)
