Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The easier way to figure this is by using the concept of torque in physics. If the torque of the man is greater than that experienced by the box, the lever will tilt in the man's favor (in other words, he will move down and the box will be lifted). Torque is found by multiplying the perpendicular force by the length of the lever arm. Because we want the man's torque to be greater than the box's torque, the inequality is:

\tau_{man}>\tau_{box} and

180r>500(.1524) That decimal is 6 inches in terms of meters.

180r > 76.2 so

r > .42 meters or `16.67 inches. The man has to sit at a distance greater than 16.67 inches in order for the box to be lifted by the lever.

Please help! PLSSS! Its for a math test.​
Maslowich

Answer:

330(D)

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets go over what we know:

#1: 44 out of 80 people think they have a average fitness level.

#2: 80 out of the 600 people in the school were surveyed.

Using what we know, lets try and find the answer.

So lets divide the total amount of people, by the amount of people that took the survey:

600/80

=

7.5

Ok, so now we know that we need to take 7.5 surveys to find out what all the students think of their fitness level.

Now lets take teh amount of people in a single survey, with average fitness(44), and multpliy it by how many surveys are needed for the whole school(7.5):

44*7.5

=

330

This is the amount of people in the whole school who think they have an average fitness level.

I hope this helps! :)
