Given :
A freight elevator has a weight limit of 15,000 pounds.
Workers have loaded items weighing 2.6 tons onto the elevator.
To Find :
How many more pounds of freight can they load before reaching the weight limit.
Solution :
We know, 1 ton = 2000 pounds.
So, 2.6 ton = 2.6 × 2000 = 5200 pounds.
Now, number of pounds of freight can be loaded before reaching the weight limit is :
N = 15000 - 5200 pounds
N = 9800 pounds
THAT THE TRIANGLE ACCORDING TO QUESTION AND I THINK SO OPTION A IS RIGHT 95%
Answer:
Draw a right triangle such that the distance between the two points is the hypotenuse. Hence, When you use the distance formula, you are calculating the length of the Hypotenuse of a right triangle.
Answer:
The time it would take them to fill 750 gallons
= 200 minutes or 3 hours 20 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
We calculate the rate at which the hoses fill for Andre and His neighbor
For Andre
The garden hose at Andre's house can fill a 5-gallon bucket in 2 minutes.
The rate is calculated as:
5 gallon/2 minutes
= 2.5 gallons/minute
For His neighbor
The hose at his next-door neighbor's house can fill a 10-gallon bucket in 8
minutes.
= 10 gallon/8 minutes
= 1.25 gallon/minute
Step 2
Hence:
If they use both their garden hoses at the same time, and the hoses continue working at the same rate, the sum of their rate =
2.5 + 1.25 = 3.75 gallons per minute.
Step 3
The time it would take them to fill 750 gallons =
750 gallons ÷ 3.75 gallons per minute
= 200 minutes
= 3 hours 20 minutes
