Let's see how many pounds can a one foot I-beam handle. If a 15 feet I-beam can handle 2000 pounds, then a one foot I-beam can handle 1/15 of that weight.

2000 * \frac{1}{15} = 133 1/3

So, for every extra foot, it can handle an additional 133 1/3 pounds.

Now we want to find out how many pounds a 10 feet I-beam can handle. 

10 * \frac{400}{3} = 4000/3 or 1333 1/3 pounds

So, a 10 feet I-beam can handle 1333 1/3 pounds.

Three hikers equally shared One-half gallon of water. Explain how you would use an area model to find the amount of water each h
givi [52]

Answer:

1/6 gallon of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of hikers = 3

Quantity of water shared = 1/2 gallon of water

If the water was shared equally among the hikers, then,

Amount of water each hiker drank = Quantity of water shared ÷ Number of hikers

= 1/2 ÷ 3

Multiply 1/6 by the reciprocal of 3

The reciprocal of 3 = 1/3

1/2 ÷ 3

= 1/2 × 1/3

= (1 * 1) / (2 * 3)

= 1/6

Amount of water each hiker drank = 1/6 gallon of water

Solve the inequality <br> 5x+2 &lt; 32
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

x<6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's work on the left hand side of your inequality, the 5x+2

This means, for instance, to see if it can be simplified at all.

Multiply x and 5

Multiply x and 1

The x just gets copied along.

The answer is x

x

5*x evaluates to 5x

5*x+2 evaluates to 5x+2

So, all-in-all, the left hand side of your inequality can be written as: 5x+2

Now, let's work on the right hand side of your inequality, the 32

The right hand side of your inequality can be written as: 32

So with these (any) simplifications, the inequality we'll set out to solve is:

5x+2 ‹ 32

Move the 2 to the right hand side by subtracting 2 from both sides, like this:

From the left hand side:

2 - 2 = 0

The answer is 5x

From the right hand side:

32 - 2 = 30

The answer is 30

Now, the inequality reads:

5x ‹ 30

To isolate the x, we have to divide both sides of the inequality by the other "stuff" (variables or coefficients)

around the x on the left side of the inequality.

The last step is to divide both sides of the inequality by 5 like this:

To divide x by 1

The x just gets copied along in the numerator.

The answer is x

5x ÷ 5 = x

30 ÷ 5 = 6

The solution to your inequality is:

x ‹ 6
