Every 3 minutes they make one ton.
there  are 1440 a da24H) s0 1440/3= 480

So they make about 480 tons per 24 hours

Correct answer: B

The first thing to be done is to convert the 2 tons into pounds.

1 pound is equal to 0.0005 tons (US). So, 2 tons divided by 0.0005 will give us the aluminium pounds per week that are processed by the Recycling Centre B.

=4000

Recycling Centre B processes 4000 pounds/week. In order to compare to Recycling Centre A, we need to find the rate in pounds per hour. To do so divide the 4000 pounds by 168 (24×7 = number of hours in a week).

≈23.8

The Recycling Centre B processes about 23.8 pounds/hour whereas the Recycling Centre A processes 100pounds/hour.

Identify an equation in slope-intercept form for the line parallel toy = 5x + 2 that passes through (–6, –1).
Illusion [34]
The slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We know that if 2 lines are parallel to one another, their slopes are exactly the same. So the slope of the new line is 5, just like the slope of the original line.  We also have a coordinate in the form of (x, y) to fit into that line equation and solve it for b.  Like this: -1 = 5(-6) + b and -1 = -30 + b and b = 29. Now we can rewrite the equation fitting in the given slope and the newly found y-intercept value of 29: y = 5x + 29 is the new line.

Does anyone know how he got from step 1 to step 2??????????
padilas [110]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

Both sides of the equation are squared.

  \dfrac{x-12}{4}=\sqrt{x} \qquad\text{given}\\\\ \left(\dfrac{x-12}{4}\right)^2=x \qquad\text{square both sides}\\\\ \left(\dfrac{x}{4}-3\right)^2=x \qquad\text{divide out the fraction}\\\\ \dfrac{x^2}{4^2}-\dfrac{6}{4}x+9=x \qquad\text{$(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$}\\\\\dfrac{x^2}{16}-\dfrac{5x}{2}+9=0 \qquad\text{subtract $x$}

I like this better without fractions, so would multiply by 16 at this point (or earlier).

  x^2 -40x +144 = 0

  (x -36)(x -4) = 0

  x = 4 or 36 . . . . . . x = 4 is extraneous

The solution is x = 36.

What are the common factors for 88 and 24
Zinaida [17]
To find the common factors between two numbers, you must first break the numbers down into factors, and then find all common factors.
Let's break down 88.

88: 2 x 44, 4 x 22, 8 x 11.

Now let's break down 24.

24: 2 x 12, 3 x 8, 4 x 6.

Now that we've factored both numbers, let's select all the common factors.

Common factors:
1, 2, 4, 8.

I hope this helps!
