After that incident, the Civil defense team decided to buy new trucks with ladders higher than 100 feet. They found 2 different

trucks with same height of ladders. The first truck costs $145,000 and will cost $0.31 per mile traveled based on the current gas prices. The second truck will cost $160,000 but gets better gas mileage, costing $0.27 per mile. They need to decide which truck is the best deal.

Answer:

the first truck

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost difference between the first truck and the second truck = $160,000-$145,000 = $15,000

the difference of gas cost between the first truck and the second truck = $0.31 - $0.26= $0.05 per mile.

so,

I think, this is a very significant number of truck cost compared with gas cost

for the best deal, the first truck is the best choice.

In Chemistry class, Samantha finds that she can make a certain solution by mixing 0.04 liters of chemical A with 0.02 liters of
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

  0.16 liters of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha's recipe makes 0.06 liters of solution. She wants 0.48 liters of solution, an amount 0.48/0.06 = 8 times as great as made by one recipe.

The recipe calls for 0.02 liters of water. To make 8 times the amount of solution, Samantha will use 8 times as much water: 0.16 liters.

Samantha will use 0.16 liters of water to make 0.48 liters of solution.

__

Alternate solution

The fraction of solution that is water is (0.02 L)/(0.06 L) = 1/3. For 0.48 L of solution, the water needed is 1/3×0.48 L = 0.16 liters.

The roots of $3x^2 - 4x + 15 = 0$ are the same as the roots of $x^2 + bx + c = 0,$ for some constants $b$ and $c.$ Find the orde
Akimi4 [234]

we are given

quadratic equation as

3x^2-4x+15=0

now, we can find b and c from

x^2+bx+c=0

we can see that coefficient of x^2 is 1

so, we will have to make coefficient x^2 as 1

so, we divide both sides by 3

3x^2-4x+15=0

\frac{3x^2-4x+15}{3}= \frac{0}{3}

\frac{3x^2}{3}-\frac{4x}{3}+\frac{15}{3}= \frac{0}{3}

now, we can simplify it

x^2-\frac{4}{3}x+5= 0

now, we can compare it with

x^2+bx+c=0

we get

b=-\frac{4}{3}

c=5

so, we get order pair as

(b,c)=(-\frac{4}{3} , 5)..............Answer
