Answer:
= 98.7 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
ratio = 3:1:15
amount of sand needed = (15/19)*125 / 3 + 1 +15 =19
5/8 as a decimal would be 5/8 times 100/x because if you found the equivilent fraction you would be able to multiply it by the upside-down-fraction and get 1 for example 2/4 =1/2 if you multiply 4/2 with 1/2 you would get 4/4 or 1
so 5/8 times 100/x =500/8x=1
then use long division to solve 62.5/100=62.5%
For this case the first thing you should know is the following unit conversion.
1 BTU = 0.25 Kilocalories
We then have the following numerical value:

Applying the conversion of units we have:

Canceling units we have:
Answer:
This is 20000 kilocalories per hour
The time changes depending on how fast the truck is going-so it's dependent
50 miles and the truck do not change no matter what-so they are constant
The speed of the truck changes the time-so the speed is the independent
