<h3>Amount of sand craig and Alissa collect together at one time is 1.4 pounds</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Craig and Alissa are building a sandcastle on the beach. They each have a bucket

Craig's bucket holds 1/2 pound of sand and Alissa's bucket holds 9/10 pound of sand

Therefore,

Craig\ bucket = \frac{1}{2}\ pound\\\\Alissa\ bucket = \frac{9}{10}\ pound

<em><u>How much sand can craig Alissa collect together at one time</u></em>

Add both, we get

Collect\ together = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{9}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5} + \frac{9}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{5}{10} + \frac{9}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{9+5}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{14}{10} = \frac{7}{5} = 1.4\\\\In\ mixed\ fractions,\\\\Collect\ together = 1\frac{2}{5}

Thus, amount of sand craig and Alissa collect together at one time is 1.4 pounds

What is the justification for each step in solving the inequality?<br><br> −7(3+8x)+5x≤1−62x
dangina [55]
Distribute -7 because of math
-21-56x+5x≤1-62x
add like terms because you aint chaingin nothing
-21-51x≤1-62x
add 62x to both sides (addition property of equality, where a=a and b=b, a+b=a+b) and also (addative inverse, a+(-a)=0) that turns the -62x to 0
-21+11x≤1
add 21 to both sides (additiona proerty of equality and addativeinverse)
11x≤22
divide both sides by 11 (division property of equality, if a=a and b=b, then a/b=a/b)
x≤2

PLSSSSSSS HELP ASAP I IS DEAD
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The answer is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply 3/4 by 8, you would get 6. Then, subtract 6 from 30, you would get 24. Larry's profit would be only $24.

The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 5 mm/s. how fast is the volume increasing when the diameter is 60 mm? evaluate
mamaluj [8]
The diameter of the sphere is 60 mm which means its radius is 30mm. <span>The radius of a sphere is increasing at a rate of 5 mm/s. 
The formula for the radius when the time is x second would be:
</span>r(t)<span>= 30+ 5x
dr/dt= 5

The speed of </span><span>volume increase </span><span>of the sphere volume would be derived from sphere volume: 
</span>V(r)=4/3* pi * r^3<span>
dV/dt= 4/3 * pi * 3r^2 * (dr/dt) =4/3* pi * 3(30)^2 * 5 =  18000 pi= 56571 mm^3/s</span>

Brody added a fraction to 5/6 to get 31/30. Use the equation a/b + c/d = (ad +bc)/ bd to find the fraction he added
sashaice [31]
The fraction he added is 6/30, or 1/5.
I'm not 100% sure about the equation you want me to use but I did the work this way:

5/6+x/30=31/30 (the denominator has to equal 30 because you are adding. You need a common denominator which is why you need to change 5/6. We can label the numerator as a hidden value x)

25/30+x=31/30

You can then work backwards and basically subtract 25 from 31 and get 6; so x=6
