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

What is the mean of this data set? {6, 11, 5, 2, 7} Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The mean is 6.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The "mean" is the same thing as the "average". Essentially, the question is asking for the average of the numbers.

So:

Add up all of the terms. [6 + 11 + 5 + 2 + 7] = 31

You find the average by dividing the sum of the terms (31) by the number of terms (5).

31/5 = 6.2

The mean is 6.2.

I hope this helped! :)
