Answer:
4 trips
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 892 bales of hay
each one weighs about 62.5 pounds
892 * 62.5 = 55,750
George's truck can only carry 8 tons
1 ton = 2,000 pounds
2,000 * 8 = 16,000 pounds
So,
55,750 / 16,000 = 3.484375
But since you can't make 3.484375 trips in a truck, round it up.
3.484375 rounded up equals 4
George has to take 4 trips
Answer:
d = 7.4 cm is the distance between the two cities on the map.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d = the distance measured on the map in centimeters (cm) between any two locations and let D be the actual distance in kilometers (km) between these same two locations.
Since the scale on the map is 1 cm = 45 km, then the ratio of the distance on the map to the actual distance is equal to 1cm/45 km; therefore the quotient of any measured distance d on the map divided by the corresponding much longer actual distance D would have to maintain (equal) this same ratio; In other words, we can set up the following proportion to solve for d given the actual distance D = 333 km as follows:
1 cm/45 km = d/D
Substituting, we get:
1 cm/45 km = d/333 km
d/333 km = 1 cm/45 km
(d/333 km)(333 km) = (1 cm/45 km)(333 km)
d = (333 km/45 km)(1 cm)
d = 7.4 cm is the distance between the two cities on the map.
Check:
1 cm/45 cm = d/333 km
1 cm/45 cm = 7.4 cm/333 km
1 cm/45 cm = 1 cm/45 km (Therefore, the distance ratio of the map has been maintained
Anything that is multiplied by a number over 1 will get bigger. any other number such as negatives or fractions/decimals will get smaller. 1.25 and 3 are expansions and -2,3/4, and 1/5 are contractions
