____
When in doubt, you can use your calculator to see which fraction gives you 0.1777777778.
_____
We multiplied by 10^1 above, because there is 1 repeating digit. The power of 10 we use matches the number of repeating digits.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call (as suggested)
p = the cost of one pizza
c = the cost of one cheeseburger
The Anderson Family ordered 2 pizzas and 4 cheeseburgers and paid $31.50, thus:
2p + 4c = 31.50 [1]
Next weekend, they ate at the same restaurant and ordered 3 pizzas and 2 cheeseburgers for $33.25, thus:
3p + 2c = 33.25 [2]
To know the cost of one pizza and one cheeseburger, we need to solve the system of equations defined by [1] and [2]
Answer:
Exercise (a)
The work done in pulling the rope to the top of the building is 750 lb·ft
Exercise (b)
The work done in pulling half the rope to the top of the building is 562.5 lb·ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Exercise (a)
The given parameters of the rope are;
The length of the rope = 50 ft.
The weight of the rope = 0.6 lb/ft.
The height of the building = 120 ft.
We have;
The work done in pulling a piece of the upper portion, ΔW₁ is given as follows;
ΔW₁ = 0.6Δx·x
The work done for the second half, ΔW₂, is given as follows;
ΔW₂ = 0.6Δx·x + 25×0.6 × 25 = 0.6Δx·x + 375
The total work done, W = W₁ + W₂ = 0.6Δx·x + 0.6Δx·x + 375
∴ We have;
W =
The work done in pulling the rope to the top of the building, W = 750 lb·ft
Exercise (b)
The work done in pulling half the rope is given by W₂ as follows;
The work done in pulling half the rope, W₂ = 562.5 lb·ft
