Convert the 3 tons into pounds
1 ton =2204.62 pounds
Next, since there’s 3 tons multiply 2204.62 x 3
Which equals = 6,613.86
Next your gonna want to divide by 80 to see how many loads it’s gonna take:
6613.86 divided by 80= 82.67325
Answer:
83 loads if you need to round

He overdrew his account by $19, so he is at $-19. His bank charges $35 fee. -19 - 35 = -54. He deposits $60, so 60 + (-54) = 6. He has $6 as his ending balance.

In a certain neighborhood, there's a sagging power line between two utility poles. The utility poles are 50 feet tall and 120 fe

<h3>Answer: 33.75 feet</h3>

In fraction form, this value is equal to 135/4

33.75 ft is equivalent to 33 ft, 9 inches.

===============================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below.

The key point to start with is point H, which is the vertex of the parabola.

Recall that vertex form is

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

What we'll do is plug in the vertex (h,k) = (60,30) which is the location of point H. We'll also plug in (0,45) which is the y intercept, aka the location of point C.

So,

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

y = a(x-60)^2 + 30 .... plug in vertex

45 = a(0-60)^2 + 30 .... plug in y intercept coordinates

45 = a(-60)^2 + 30

45 = a(3600) + 30

45 = 3600a + 30

45-30 = 3600a

3600a = 15

a = 15/3600

a = 1/240

This then means:

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

y = (1/240)(x-60)^2 + 30

This is the equation of our parabola. Plug in x = 30 to determine the height of point K

y = (1/240)(x-60)^2 + 30

y = (1/240)(30-60)^2 + 30

y = (1/240)(-30)^2 + 30

y = (1/240)(900) + 30

y = 15/4 + 30

y = 15/4 + 120/4

y = 135/4

y = 33.75

Therefore, the height of the power line, when it is 30 feet away from one of the poles, is 33.75 feet. This is the y coordinate of point K.

Side note: 33.75 ft = 33 ft + 0.75 ft = 33 ft + 12*0.75 in = 33 ft + 9 inches

How do you make fractions into decimals

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

you divide the nominator by the denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

10/15

so 10 divided by 15= .6666...

10/15 as a decimal is .6 repeating

A person on tour has dollar 360 for his daily expenses. If he extends his tour for 4 days, he has to cut down his daily expenses

mash [69]

Answer:

The original duration of the tour = 20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Total expenses for the tour = $360

Let the original tour duration be for $x$ days.

So, for $x$ days the total expense = $360

<em>Thus the daily expense in dollars can be given by</em> = $\frac{360}{x}$

Tour extension and effect on daily expenses.

The tour is extended by 4 days.

<em>Tour duration now</em> = $(x+4)$ days

On extension, his daily expense is cut by $3

<em>New daily expense in dollars </em>= $(\frac{360}{x}-3)$

Total expense in dollars can now be given as: $(x+4)(\frac{360}{x}-3)$

Simplifying by using distribution (FOIL).

$(x.\frac{360}{x})+(x(-3)+(4.\frac{360}{x})+(4(-3))$

$360-3x+\frac{1440}{x}-12$

$348-3x+\frac{1440}{x}$

We know total expense remains the same which is = $360.

So, we have the equation as:

$348-3x+\frac{1440}{x}=360$

Multiplying each term with $x$ to remove fractions.

$348x-3x^2+1440=360x$

Subtracting $348x$ both sides

$348x-348x-3x^2+1440=360x-348x$

$-3x^2+1440=12x$

Dividing each term with -3.

$\frac{-3x^2}{-3}+\frac{1440}{-3}=\frac{12x}{-3}$

$x^2-480=-4x$

Adding $4x$ both sides.

$x^2+4x-480=-4x+4x$

$x^2+4x-480=0$

Solving using quadratic formula.

For a quadratic equation: $ax^2+bx+c=0$

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Plugging in values from the equation we got.

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{(4)^2-4(1)(-480)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+1920}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{1936}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm44}{2}$

So, we have

$x=\frac{-4+44}{2}$ and $x=\frac{-4-44}{2}$

$x=\frac{40}{2}$ and $x=\frac{-48}{2}$

∴ $x=20$ and $x=-24$

Since number of days cannot be negative, so we take $x=20$ as the solution for the equation.

Thus, the original duration of the tour = 20 days
