step 1
convert pounds to ton
1 ton------> 2204.62 lb
<span>each crate weighs 80 pounds
so
by proportion
1/2204.62=x/80
x=80/2204.62-----> x=0.036 ton
each crate weighs 0.036 ton

step 2
divide 2 ton by 0.036
2/0.036=55.11 crate----------> 55 crate

the answer is
</span>the greatest number of crates that can be loaded onto the elevator is <span>55 

alalternative method
</span>step 1
convert ton to pounds 
1 ton------> 2204.62 lb
a freight elevator has a weight limit of 2 ton
2 *2204.62 -----> 4409.24 lb

step 2
each crate weighs 80 pounds
divide 4409.24 by 80
4409.24/80=55.11 crate----------> 55 crate

Directed line segment has endpoints P(– 8, – 4) and Q(4, 12). Determine the point that partitions the directed line segment in a
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Point (1,8)  

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use segment formula to find the coordinates of point that will partition our line segment PQ in a ratio 3:1.

When a point divides any segment internally in the ratio m:n, the formula is:

[x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},y= \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]

Let us substitute coordinates of point P and Q as:

x_1=-8,

y_1=-4

x_2=4

y_2=12

m=3

n=1

[x=\frac{(3*4)+(1*-8)}{3+1},y=\frac{(3*12)+(1*-4)}{3+1}]

[x=\frac{12-8}{4},y=\frac{36-4}{4}]

[x=\frac{4}{4},y=\frac{32}{4}]

[x=1,y=8]

Therefore, point (1,8) will partition the directed line segment PQ in a ratio 3:1.

True or False: A decimeter, a centimeter and a millimeter are all smaller than a meter.
aev [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>True. A decimeter, a centimeter and a millimeter are all smaller than a meter.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert all the units to metres for compariosn.

By metric conversion,

1 decimetre = 0.1 metre

1 centimetre = 0.01 metre

1 millimetre = 0.001 metre

Based on the above conversions, a decimeter, a centimeter and a millimeter are all smaller than a meter. Therefore the given statement is true.

What smaller angle is coterminal with 573°
Kobotan [32]

The positive coterminal angle is 213° and negative coterminal angle is -147° and -507°

<u>Explanation:</u>

Coterminal angles are two angles that are drawn in the standard position (so their initial sides are on the positive x-axis) and have the same terminal side

In other words, two angles are coterminal when the angles themselves are different, but their sides and vertices are identical.

Another way to describe coterminal angles is that they are two angles in the standard position and one angle is a multiple of 360 degrees larger or smaller than the other. That is, if angle A has a measure of M degrees, then angle B is co-terminal if it measures M +/- 360n, where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

So,

When angle is 573° then the coterminal angle is

573° - 360 (1) = 213°

573° - 360(2) = -147°

573° - 360 (3) = -507°

Therefore, positive coterminal angle is 213° and negative coterminal angle is -147° and -507°

Volume of a triangular
Lorico [155]
For volume of a prism, the general rule is multiply the area of the base by the area of the height. For example, for a triangular prism, the volume would be (1/2)b*h*a if you set a = height of the prism and h = height of the triangle from the formula (1/2)bh, which is the area of a triangle.
