Answer: 5 bags of sand

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 8 elementary schools

3 Tons of sand is needed

It is contained in a 50- Pound bag

1 ton is equivalent to 2000 Pound

No of 50- Pound bag required is

\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{2000}{50}\\\\\Rightarrow n=40

These 40 bags will be required in 8 schools. So, each school requires

\Rightarrow \dfrac{40}{8}=5\ \text{bag}

Answer:

The number of bags required for each school is 16.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of schools = 8

Total sand required = 3 tons

mass of each bag = 50 pounds

Sand required for each school = 3 ton/ 8 = 3000 / 8 kg = 375 kg

1 pound = 0.454 kg

1 kg = 2.205 pounds

So, 375 kg = 826.7 pounds

So, the number of bags required for each school =  826.7/50 = 16.53 bags

OLga [1]

Answer:

c(F) = 135 + 2.5F

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Controller cost = $135

System cost = $2.50 per foot of pipeline

The total cost depends upon the length of Pole.

Let the system requires F feet of pipeline.

Total cost will be given by the equation:

c(F) = \text{Controller cost + System cost(Feet of pipeline required)}\\c(F) = 135 + 2.5F

is the required expression for total cost

F: feet of pipeline required

c(F): Total cost of installation

Alice is baking a cake. She doesn’t intend to eat it, but tells you half of what you find is yours. She tells the same thing to
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: a) P = 0.5, b) P = 0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Lets call X₁ the time at which you arrive, and X₂ the time at which Bob arrives. Both are random variables with uniform density in the interval [0, 60] (in minutes). Their joint distribuition is uniform over the square in the image, with value P = 1/(60*60) = 1/3600.

a) For you to get more cake than Bob, you should arrive earlier. This event is A = { X₁ < X₂ }, the shaded triangle in the figure.The area of this event (set) is half the total area of the square, so P(A) = 0.5.

It makes sense, beacuse its equally probable for you or Bob to arrive earlier, as both have uniform density over the time interval.

b) In this case you arrive later than Bob, but less than 5 minutes later. So the event is B = { X₂ < X₁ < (X₂ + 5) } . This is the gray shaded area in b) part of the image. Its area is the difference two triangles (half square - blue triangle), then the probability is:

P(B) = 0.5 - \frac{(0.5*55^2)}{3600} =0.07
