Answer: There are approximately 9 loads.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of tons the cement weigh is given by

6\dfrac{1}{3}\ tons\\=\dfrac{19}{3}

Weight of each load = \dfrac{3}{4}\ tons

So, Number of tons is given by

\dfrac{\text{Weight of cement}}{\text{weight of each load}}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{19}{3}}{\dfrac{3}{4}}\\\\=\dfrac{19}{3}\times \dfrac{4}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{76}{9}\\\\=8.4\\\\\approx 9\ loads

Hence, there are approximately 9 loads.

Convert the 6 1/3 tons into an improper fraction:

6 1/3 = 19/3 tons.

Divide 19/3 tons by 3/4 tons per load:

19/3 / 3/4 = 19/3 * 4/3 = 76/9 = 8.4, so it will take 9 trips.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The correct options are;

B) The mean and median for the security company are both lower than the mean and the median for the collections performed by other companies

B) Since the security company appear to have collected lower revenue than other companies, there is some evidence of stealing by the security company's employees

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the acronym SC for the security company and OC for the other company

SC OC

1.6 1.5

1.8 2.1

1.6 1.9

1.8 2.2

1.7 1.9

1.2 1.7

1.1 2.1

1.2 2.2

1.2 2.2

1.5 1.8

∑x    14.7   19.6

The mean is given by  ∑x/n

n = 10

               SC        OC

∴ Mean 1.47      1.96

The median is the \frac{n + 1}{n} th  \ term

Hence

               SC         OC

Median 1.55         2

Therefore, the mean and median for the security company are both lower than the mean and the median for the collections performed by other companies.

b) Since the security company appear to have collected lower revenue than other companies, there is some evidence of stealing by the security company's employees.
