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

The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient rome. Suppose it costs the roman government 101010 denarii per day to support 444
givi [52]

<u>the correct question is</u>

The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient rome. Suppose it costs the roman government 10 denarii per day to support 4 legionaries and 4 archers. It only costs 5 denarii per day to support 2 legionaries and 2 archers. Use a system of linear equations in two variables. Can we solve for a unique cost for each soldier?

Let

x-------> the cost to support a legionary per day

y-------> the cost to support an archer per day

we know that

4x+4y=10 ---------> equation 1

2x+2y=5 ---------> equation 2

If you multiply equation 1 by 2

2*(2x+2y)=2*5-----------> 4x+4y=10

so

equation 1 and equation 2 are the same

The system has infinite solutions-------> Is a consistent dependent system

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

We cannot solve for a unique cost for each soldier, because there are infinite solutions.

Your carry-on bag can weigh at most 40 pounds.Select an inequality that represents how much more weight x (in pounds) you can ad
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

22 + x ≤ 40

x ≤ 18 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum weight = 40 pounds

Initial weight = 22 pounds

Let Maximum weight that can be added = x

Mathematically, this means :

Initial weight + additional weight ≤ 40

That is ;

22 + x ≤ 40

Additional weight, x :

x ≤ 40 - 22

x ≤ 18 pounds
