Answer:

35 smaller trucks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

i) The larger truck with a 2.5-ton payload, and smaller trucks with 1.5-ton payload.

ii)  To unload a freight train 21 larger trucks are needed .

Total load of the freight train = 21 times 2.5 tons

= 21  × 2.5

= 52.5 tons

To find the number of small trucks needed, we need to divide 52.5 by 1.5

= 52.5 ÷ 1.5

= 35 small trucks needed.

So, to unload the freight, we need 35 smaller trucks.

The 4th and 8th term of a G.P. are 24 and 8/27 respectively. find the 1st term and common ratio
beks73 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric progression is

• a_{n} = a₁ r^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

given a₄ = 24, then

a₁r^{3} = 24 → (1)

Given a₈ = \frac{8}{27}, then

a₁r^{7} = \frac{8}{27} → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

r^{4} = \frac{\frac{8}{27} }{24} = \frac{1}{81}

Hence r = \sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{81} } = \frac{1}{3}

Substitute this value into (1)

a₁ × (\frac{1}{3} )³ = 24

a₁ × \frac{1}{27} = 24, hence

a₁ = 24 × 27 = 648

Solve the equation 0.5p -3.45= -1.2.​
ddd [48]

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5p-3.45=-1.2

add 3.45 to -1.2 which would leave the equation to look like

0.5p=2.25

then divide 0.5 to both sides cancelling 0.5 leaving the answer to be

p=4.5

Who had a head start, and how many miles was the head start? Rita had a 28-mile head start. Roger had a 26-mile head start. Roge
serg [7]

Complete question is;

Roger and Rita each drive at a constant speed between Phoenix and San Diego. Each driver’s distance for the same section of the trip is displayed below. Who had a head start, and how many miles was the head start?

A) Rita had a 28-mile head start.

B) Roger had a 26-mile head start.

C) Roger had a 25-mile head start.

D) Rita had a 22-mile head start.

Answer:

A) Rita had a 28-mile head start.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that Roger travelled a distance of 60 miles

And that;

Rita travelled a distance of 32 miles

We are told that they travelled between Phoenix and San Diego.

Thus, it means that if they have different distances but covered same section of the trip, it means the one with higher distance started before the section of the trip.

Thus, it means that Rita had a head start of Roger since she covered only 32 miles.

Thus;

Rita had a head start of; 60 - 32 = 28 miles
