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

Given information
----------------------------------------------------------
Area = 3x² + 14x + 8 
Length = x + 4

----------------------------------------------------------
Formula
----------------------------------------------------------
Area = Length x Width

----------------------------------------------------------
Find Width
----------------------------------------------------------
3x² + 14x + 8  = (x + 4) x width
width = (3x² + 14x + 8) ÷ (x + 4)
width =  (x+4)(3x+2) ÷ (x + 4)
width = 3x + 2

----------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The width is 3x + 2 (Answer C)

Explain why receiving a 15% discount is the same as finding 85% percent of the original cost of an item. Then, explain how the m
Lisa [10]

Answer:

15% discount means you're paying 85% of the marked price because total is 100% and 100-15 = 85%

Let X be the naked price

Paid = marked price - discount

Paid = X - (15/100 × X)

Using distribution property,

Paid = X(1 - 15/100)

Paid = X[(100-15)/100]

Paid = X(85/100)

Which is 85/100 × X

Hence 85% of X
