An engineer is building a bridge that should be able to hold a maximum weight of 1 ton. He builds a model of the bridge that is

exactly 4 times smaller than the actual bridge. 16 ounces = 1 pound. 2,000 pounds = 1 ton. If a test of the model shows that it holds 8,000 ounces, will the bridge hold 1 ton?
fill in thw blanks please extra points:)​

Answer:

First blank- 32000 ounces

Second blank- 2000 pounds

Yes the bridge can hold 1 ton.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the scale of the model to the real bridge = 1:4

The test model shows the model can take 8000 ounces

The real bridge will therefore take 8000 x 4 = 32000 ounces

16 ounces = 1 pound

32000 ounces =  x pounds

==>  = 32000/16 = 2000 pounds

2000 pounds = 1 ton

therefore the bridge holds 1 ton

1. What is the slope of the line that passes through the points E(3, 0) and F (6, -3)?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

1. m=- -1 2. -1+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok for the first one you need to label 3 x1 0 y1 6 x2

and -3 y2

Next you need to do y2-y1 over x2-x1 so fill that in and your equasion is (-3-0)

------------ = -3

( 6-3) ----

3

That reduces to -1 because -3 divided by 3 is -1

As for number 2 we need to find b to do this pick any of the y's from before we can go with 0 so the 0 is y in the equasion and we already learned slope is -1 so your equasion should be 0=--1+b ok to solve this you need to add -1 to both sides since its a negitive so you add 1 to 0 which is 1 and when you add 1 to -1 it cancells it out so you have 1=b so b is 1 for the equsion you just fill it in so it is y=- -1+1

I hope I helped

What product is positive ?​
s344n2d4d5 [400]
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

The long way to do this is to multiply all the fractions out by hand, or use a calculator to make shorter work of this.

The shortest way is to simply count how many negative signs each expression has.

The rule is: if there are an even number of negative signs, then the product will be positive. Otherwise, the product is negative.

For choice A, we have 3 negative signs. The result (whatever number it is) is negative. Choice B is a similar story. Choice C is also negative because we have 1 negative sign. Choices A through C have an odd number of negative signs.

Only choice D has an even number of negative signs. The two negatives multiply to cancel to a positive. The negative is like undoing the positive. So two negatives just undo each other. This is why the multiplied version of choice D will be some positive number.

Or you can think of it as opposites. If you are looking up (positive direction) and say "do the opposite" then you must look down (negative direction). Then if you say "do the opposite", then you must look back up in the positive direction.
