Answer:

  • 160 yd³ must be hauled
  • $520 is the cost

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 feet in a yard, so the volume of the hole is ...

  (45 ft)/(3 ft/yd) × (16 ft)/(3 ft/yd) × (6 ft)/(3 ft/yd)

  = (15 × 16/3 × 2) yd³ = 160 yd³ . . . volume to be hauled

__

The cost is $13/(4 yd³), so the total cost will be ...

  ($13/(4 yd³)) × 160 yd³ = $520 . . . cost of hauling

musickatia [10]

Answer:

14\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write this out as an equation. Let the unknown quantity be x:

x+\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3} (x+\frac{2}{3}) = 10\\\\3x+2-x -\frac{2}{3} = 30\\\\9x+6-3x-2=90\\\\6x= 86\\\\x = \frac{86}{6} =\frac{43}{3} =14\frac{1}{3} \\

Kirk's family drove 36 miles in 50 minutes, which was 48% of the distance to his grandmother's house. What was the total distanc
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

75 miles is the total distance in miles to Kirk's grandmother's house

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the total distance in miles to Kirk's grandmother's house.

As per the statement:

Kirk's family drove 36 miles in 50 minutes, which was 48% of the distance to his grandmother's house

⇒ Distance Kirk's family drove = 36 miles.

then;

36 = 48% of x

36 = \frac{48}{100}x

Multiply both sides by 100 we get;

3600 = 48x

Divide both sides by 48 we have;

75 miles = x

Therefore, the total distance in miles to Kirk's grandmother's house is 75 miles
