Given :
A freight elevator has a weight limit of 15,000 pounds.
Workers have loaded items weighing 2.6 tons onto the elevator.
To Find :
How many more pounds of freight can they load before reaching the weight limit.
Solution :
We know, 1 ton = 2000 pounds.
So, 2.6 ton = 2.6 × 2000 = 5200 pounds.
Now, number of pounds of freight can be loaded before reaching the weight limit is :
N = 15000 - 5200 pounds
N = 9800 pounds
For this case, we must find the quotient of
divided by
, to verify if Tina was correct.
So:
So, Tina was wrong, she had to divide by 3x.
Answer:
Option B
Answer:
y = -4
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first explain when x = 0
Find where x = 0 on the graph. We are finding what the y-value would be. Trace down the y-axis along the vertical line x = 0. Where does the line intersect the y-axis when x = 0? The answer would be -4
The y-intercept is -4, and the x-value for this is 0, of course. So the correct answer for when x = 0 would be y = -4.
Next, we are told to find x when y = -2. Find where y = -2. Now, staying at y = -2, go horizontally along the x-axis at y = -2 until you reach the line. Boom! You should have connected up with the line at around x = 3. Therefore, when y = -2, x = 3
Answer:
1 3/4 or 1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
An easy way to do this is to convert to decimals
1/4 = 0.25
2/4 = 0.5
3/4 = 0.75
Now, for the numbers for this problem.
2 3/4 would be equal to 2.75
3 1/2 would be equal to 3.5
Add those two numbers together and you get 6.25
Subtract that from 8 and you get 1.75 or 1 3/4
