Answer:

  • 45# -- 60 boxes
  • 30# -- 50 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of big boxes. Then 110-b is the number of small boxes. The total weight is ...

  30(110-b) +45b = 4200

  15b = 900 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3300

  b = 60 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 15

  110 -b = 110 -60 = 50 . . . number of small boxes

The truck is carrying 60 large boxes and 50 small boxes.

Answer:

we have 60 large boxes and 50 small boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, "boxes of two sizes" means we can assign variables:

  Let x = number of large boxes

       y = number of small boxes

Now, "There are 110 boxes in all"    means    x + y = 110

Now, the pounds for each kind of box is:

    (pounds per box)*(number of boxes)

pounds for large boxes     +    pounds for small boxes      =    4200pounds

                 "the truck is carrying a total of 4200 pounds in boxes"

 

        (45)*(x)                   +              (30)*(y)                  = 4200

Now, Solve for one of the variables in the first equation then replace (substitute) the expression for that variable in the second.  Let's solve for x:

   x = 110 - y          [from eq1]

 

    45(110-y) + 30y = 4200            [from eq2]

     4950 - 45y  + 30y= 4200         [distribute]

     4950 - 15y = 4200

      -15y = -750

         y = 50           [divide both sides by (-15)]

 

 There are 50 small boxes.

 

Put that value into either equation (now, which is easier?) to solve for x:

  x = 110 - y

  x = 110 - 50

  x = 60

 There are 60 large boxes.

Now, let's verify our solution:

 

Is   60+50= 110 ?       [eq1]

         110 = 110 ? yes!

Is  60(45) + 50(30) = 4125   ?

     2700 + 1500 = 4200 ?

       4200 = 4200 ? yes

So we have 60 large boxes and 50 small boxes.

To estimate the height of a house Katie stood a certain distance from the house and determined that the angle of elevation to th
Nata [24]

the height of the house is 408ft .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , To estimate the height of a house Katie stood a certain distance from the house and determined that the angle of elevation to the top of the house was 32 degrees. Katie then moved 200 feet closer to the house along a level street and determined the angle of elevation was 42 degrees. We need to find  What is the height of the house . Let's find out:

Let  y is the unknown height of the house, and x is the unknown number of feet she is standing from the house.

Distance of house from point A( initial point ) = x ft

Distance of house from point B( when she traveled 200 ft towards street  = x-200 ft

Now , According to question these scenarios are of right angle triangle as

At point A

⇒ Tan32 =\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}= \frac{y}{x}

⇒ Tan32 = \frac{y}{x}

⇒ y=x(Tan32 )       ..................(1)

Also , At point B

⇒ Tan42 = \frac{y}{x-200}

⇒ y=(x-200)(Tan42)     ..............(2)

Equating both equations:

⇒ (x-200)(Tan42) = x(Tan32)

⇒ x(Tan42-Tan32)=Tan42(200)

⇒ x=\frac{Tan42(200)}{(Tan42-Tan32)}

⇒ x=653ft

Putting  x=653ft in  y=x(Tan32 )  we get:

⇒  y=x(Tan32 )    

⇒  y=653(Tan32 )

⇒  y=408ft

Therefore , the height of the house is 408ft .

Write 87/1000 as a decimal.
Akimi4 [234]
87/1000 into a decimal is 0.087,
You can divide with your calculator, or you can use place value.
0.8 = 8/10
0.87 = 87/100
0.087 = 87/1000
And so on and so forth...
