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

Not sure but I believe letter B) 3+4 is rational since the answer is 7 and 7 is a rational number and it can be expressed as a quotient.  The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational. The sum of two rational numbers is rational

What is the value of x?
nika2105 [10]

AC is the hypotenuse of triangle ABC.

Because the length is 6√2 and angle A is 45 degrees, we know the length of both sides is 6.

This means AB is 6, which it the hypotenuse of triangle BCD.

Using cos(angle) = adjacent leg / hypotenuse we can find x:

cos(60) = X / 6

x = 6 * cos(60)

x = 3

Hey there. The answer is A. 4/11.

To find the slope, look at the coordinates (-7, 2). Starting from there, we need to find the slope to go to the point (4, 6). We need to find the rise over run.

Look at the picture I attached. I hope you understand and find my answer helpful.
