Answer:

Time in the air  t₁  =  7 s

Time in the sea t₂ =  5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the equation:   v =  d/t , where:

v is the average speed,

d the distance traveled, and

t time doing the trip

From v = d/t    ⇒  d = v*t

Therefore, if we call t₁ time in the air, and t₂ time in the sea, according to problem statement, we have:

t₁  +  t₂  = 12        (1)

16*t₁  +  3*t₂  = 127    (2)

A two equation system, from equation (1) we get

t₂  = 12 - t₁

And by substitution in equaton (2)

16*t₁  + 3 * ( 12 - t₁ ) = 127

16*t₁  + 36 - 3*t₁  = 127

13*t₁   = 91

t₁  = 91 /13

t₁ = 7 s

And    t₂  = 12 - 7

t₂ = 5 s

\frac{4^3\times4^{-1}\times5^{-2}}{4^4\times5^{-3}\times5^0}=\frac{4^{3-1}\times5^{-2}}{4^4\times5^{-3+0}}\\=\frac{4^{2}\times5^{-2}}{4^4\times5^{-3}}=4^{2-4}\times5^{-2-(-3)}\\=4^{-2}\times5^{1}=\frac{5}{4^2}\\=\frac{5}{16}

Trucks are delivering gravel to a construction site each truck hold 7.5 cubic yards of gravel. The weight of 1 cubic yard of gra
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
The first thing you must do is to calculate the weight of the gravel (w) that the truck holds (7.5 yards³). So, you have:

 If the weight of 1 yard³ is 1.48 tons, then the weight of 7.5 yards³ is:

 w=7.5x1.48 tons
 w=11.1 tons

 The problem says that the gravel will be placed in containers that each hold 3.7 tons of gravel,so, If they need 1 cotainer to place 3.7 tons, how many containers they need to place 11.1 tons?

 1 container-------3.7 tons of gravel
                 x-------11.1 tons of gravel

 x=(11.1x1)/3.7
 x=11.1/3.7
 x=3 containers

 H<span>ow many containers of this size are needed to hold all the gravel from one truck?

 The answer is: 3 containers.
