Answer:

The number of bricks a truck can carry in full load is 308 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The weight of each brick = 4 pounds and 14 ounce

The total load a truck can carry = \dfrac{3}{4}  tons

Let The number of bricks truck can carry = n bricks

<u>Now, According to question</u>

∵ 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

∴ 14 ounce = 0.0625 × 14 = 0.875 pounds

So, Total weight of each brick = 4 pounds + 0.875 pounds = 4.875 pounds

<u>Again</u>

∵ 1 pound = 0.0005 tons

∴ 4.875 pounds =  0.0005 × 4.875 = 0.0024375 tons

<u>Now, Again</u>

The total load a truck can carry = \dfrac{3}{4} tons = 0.75 tons

And The weight of each brick = 0.0024375 tons

So, The number of bricks = \dfrac{\textrm total load a truck can carry}{\textrm Total weight of each brick}

I.e n = \dfrac{0.75}{0.0024375}

∴ n = 307.69 ≈ 308

So, The number of bricks can truck carry = n = 308

Hence, The number of bricks a truck can carry in full load is 308 . Answer

You are making a scaledrawing of a room using a scale of1 inch : 4 feet.a. The room is 14 feet by 18 feet. Find itsdimensions in
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

a. 3.5 inches by 4.5 inches

b. 1.5 inches

c. Divide 48 inches by 2 and multiply 1 inch by 12 to get a scale of 1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale is a representative fraction showing the relationship between length on a drawing and actual length.

i.e scale = \frac{length on a drawing}{actual length}

 scale = 1 inch : 4 feet

a. The dimensions in the drawing can be determined as;

1 inch : 4 feet implies an inch on the drawing equates 4 feet on actual length.

\frac{14}{4} = 3.5 inches

\frac{18}{4} = 4.5 inches

Dimensions on drawing is 3.5 inches by 4.5 inches.

b. The length of the sofa is 6 feet, its length on the drawing is;

\frac{6}{4} = 1.5 inches

c. To enlarge the scale so as to double the dimensions of the drawing, we have;

12 inches = 1 feet

4 feet = 4 × 12 = 48 inches

given scale = 1 inch : 48 inches

Thus, divide 48 inches by 2 and multiply 1 inch by 12.

scale = 12 inch : 24 inch

scale = 1 : 2

To double the dimensions of the drawing, the scale required is 1 : 2. This implies that a unit measure on the drawing is synonymous to 2 measures on the actual reading.
