Answer:

Mr. Lopez delivers 1.5 tons of dog food to the animal shelter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Lopez picks up 2 pallets of dog food to deliver to the animal shelter. Each pallet contains 40 bags of dog food, and the dog food weighs 37 1/2 pounds pet bag.

The weight of 1 bag of dog food = $37\frac{1}{2}\text{ pounds }$

The weight of 40 bags of dog food = $40 \times 37\frac{1}{2} =1500 \text{ pounds }$

Each pallet weighs = 1500 pounds

2 pallets weighs = 1500×2=3000 pounds.

We know that 2000 pounds = 1 ton

$\frac{3000}{2000} \text{ pounds}=1.5 \text{ tons}$

Hence, Mr. Lopez delivers 1.5 tons of dog food to the animal shelter.

Quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(0, 6), B(-3, -6), C(-9, -6), and D(-12, -3): a) dilation with scale factor of 1/3 centered at

Oksanka [162]

a) The points of the new quadrillateral are $A'(x,y) = (0, 2)$ , $B'(x,y) = (-1, -2)$ , $C'(x,y) = \left(-3,-2\right)$ and $D'(x,y) = (-4, -1)$ , respectively.

b) The points of the new quadrillateral are $A'(x,y) = (-5, 5)$ , $B'(x,y) = (-8,-7)$ , $C'(x,y) = (-13, -7)$ and $D'(x,y) = (-17, -4)$ , respectively.

<h3>How to perform transformations with points</h3>

a) A dillation centered at the origin is defined by following operation:

$P'(x,y) = k\cdot P(x,y)$ (1)

Where:

$P(x,y)$ - Original point
$P'(x,y)$ - Dilated point.

If we know that $k = \frac{1}{3}$ , $A(x,y) = (0,6)$ , $B(x,y) = (-3,-6)$ , $C(x,y) = (-9, -6)$ and $D(x,y) = (-12, -3)$ , then the new points of the quadrilateral are:

$A'(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot (0,6)$

$A'(x,y) = (0, 2)$

$B'(x,y) = \frac{1}{3} \cdot (-3,-6)$

$B'(x,y) = (-1, -2)$

$C'(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot (-9,-6)$

$C'(x,y) = \left(-3,-2\right)$

$D'(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot (-12,-3)$

$D'(x,y) = (-4, -1)$

The points of the new quadrillateral are $A'(x,y) = (0, 2)$ , $B'(x,y) = (-1, -2)$ , $C'(x,y) = \left(-3,-2\right)$ and $D'(x,y) = (-4, -1)$ , respectively. $\blacksquare$

b) A translation along a vector is defined by following operation:

$P'(x,y) = P(x,y) +T(x,y)$ (2)

Where $T(x,y)$ is the transformation vector.

If we know that $T(x,y) = (-5,-1)$ , $A(x,y) = (0,6)$ , $B(x,y) = (-3,-6)$ , $C(x,y) = (-9, -6)$ and $D(x,y) = (-12, -3)$ ,

$A'(x,y) = (0,6) + (-5, -1)$

$A'(x,y) = (-5, 5)$

$B'(x,y) = (-3, -6) + (-5, -1)$

$B'(x,y) = (-8,-7)$

$C'(x,y) = (-9, -6) + (-5, -1)$

$C'(x,y) = (-13, -7)$

$D'(x,y) = (-12,-3)+(-5,-1)$

$D'(x,y) = (-17, -4)$

The points of the new quadrillateral are $A'(x,y) = (-5, 5)$ , $B'(x,y) = (-8,-7)$ , $C'(x,y) = (-13, -7)$ and $D'(x,y) = (-17, -4)$ , respectively. $\blacksquare$

What would be the answer of my fractions <br> 9 1/2 + 4 3/5=

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

14 $\frac{1}{10}$ or $\frac{141}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn your fractions into improper and make them have the same denominator

$\frac{95}{10}$ + $\frac{46}{10}$ = $\frac{141}{10}$

Leave it as is or simplify to 14 $\frac{1}{10}$
