Answer: 37.5 lb/wk

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the total amount of waste.  We are told that (2/5) of X is 15 lb/wk.

(2/5)X = 15 lb/wk

X = (5/2)*(15lb/wk)

X = (75/2) il/wk

X = 37.5 lb/wk

3(0.7z+2.8)=7(1.5z+7.2)
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

z = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(0.7z + 2.8) = 7(1.5z + 7.2)

2.1z + 8.4 = 10.5z + 50.4

2.1z - 10.5z = 50.4 - 8.4

-8.4z = 42

z = 42/(-8.4)

z = -5

Assume all variables represent non negative numbers . Help please!!
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

A). 2p^{8}

B). 3m^{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

A). \sqrt{4p^{16}}

    To get the square root of the given expression we will convert it into the square form.

4p^{16}=(2)^2(p^{8})^2 [Since 2×2 = 4 and p^{8}\times p^{8}=p^{16}]

Therefore, \sqrt{4p^{16}}=\sqrt{2^{2}\times (p^{8})^2 }

                             =2p^{8}

B). \sqrt{9m^{44}}

    Since, 9m^{14}=(3)^2\times (m^7)^2

    Therefore,  \sqrt{9m^{44}}=\sqrt{(3)^2\times (m^7)^2} [Since 3² = 9 and (m⁷)² = m¹⁴]

                                   =3m^{7}
