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?

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

Geometry. Find the angle
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

x = 10°; Angle A = 84°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle A + Angle B = 180

5x + 34 + 2x + 76 = 180

7x + 110 = 180

7x = 70

x = 10

Angle A: 5(10) + 34 = 50 + 34 = 84°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are ₇C₁ ways to choose 1 woman from 7.

There are ₅C₃ ways to choose 3 men from 5.

There are ₁₂C₄ ways to choose 4 people from 12.

So the probability is:

₇C₁ ₅C₃ / ₁₂C₄

Answer:

Nonproportional

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that is proportional will always pass through the origin (0, 0). If it does pass through the origin, then x and y have a proportional relationship.

Best of Luck!
