Answer:
36 objects
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the value of x when t=9, so you're solving ...
9 = 0.007x^2 +0.003x
9 = 0.007(x^2 + 3/7x)
From here, we observe that an approximation is probably sufficient.
9/0.007 = x(x +3/7) . . . . . the expression on the right is nearly x^2
x ≈ 3/√.007 ≈ 35.9 ≈ 36
We can check:
.007(36)(36 3/7) = 9.18
.007(35)(35 3/7) = 8.68
To keep the computer busy for 9 seconds, it needs to sort 36 objects.
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 =
The weight of 40 bags of dog food =
Each pallet weighs = 1500 pounds
2 pallets weighs = 1500×2=3000 pounds.
We know that 2000 pounds = 1 ton
Hence, Mr. Lopez delivers 1.5 tons of dog food to the animal shelter.
