Answer:

150.833... or 150 and 5/6 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create an equation to solve this.

Let x represent the number of 120 kilogram crates that can be loaded into the chipping container.

120x (weight of the crates) + 5900 (weight already in the container) = 24000 (max weight in the container)

We'll start by subtracting 5900 from both sides to try to isolate x, the number of containers we still need to meet 24000 kilograms.

120x = 18100

Now we just have to isolate x by dividing by 120.

x = 150.83333333333333333333333333333

If you want to use a mixed fraction form for this solution since the 3's keep repeating, it would be 150 and 5/6 crates.

HELP URGENT PLEASE! The Lees have purchased a new home for $360,000, and put a down payment of $50,000 on it. They have a mortga

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

$191,340.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We find the amount that is paid monthly by the Lee's

We are told in the question that:

Cost of the house =$360,000

Down payment = $50,000

We are also told, the balance left after the down payment was made = Mortgage that is amortized at an

Interest rate of 5.25%

Time = 20 years

Hence, Mortgage amount = $360,000 - $50,000 = $310,000

Formula for monthly payment =

M= P[r(1+r)^n/((1+r)^n)-1)]

M = the total monthly mortgage payment.

P = the principal loan amount.

r = your monthly interest rate.

= rate/12

=5.25%/12 = 0.0525/12

= 0.004375

n = number of payments

= number of years × number of months

= 20 × 12 = 240 payments

Formula for monthly payment =

M= P[r(1+r)^n/((1+r)^n)-1)]

M = 310,000[0.004375(1 + 0.004375)^240/((1 + 0.004375)^240 ) - 1]

M = $2,088.92

Therefore, the monthly payment by the Lee's is $2,088.92

Step 2

We calculate the Total Amount paid by the Lee's in 20years because we are told in the question that they paid off their mortgage after 20 years

Total Amount paid = Monthly payments × Number of payments

= $2,088.92 × 240

= $501,340.80

Step 3

The third and final step is to calculate the Total interest paid for 20 years

Total Interest = Total amount paid - Mortgage amount

= $501,340.80 - $310,000

Total Interest: $191,340.80

Therefore,the interest will they have paid in total is $191,340.80

ms. James has a 6 square foot bulletin board and a 12 square food bulletin board. She wants to cover both boards with index card

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

She need 72 index cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. James has a 6 square foot bulletin board and a 12 square food bulletin board and she wants to cover both boards with index cards without gaps or overlaps.

Each index card has an area of $\dfrac{1}{4}$ square foot.

Dividing the area of each board with the area of the index card will yield the the number of cards she needs to cover up completely.

Let us assume T₁ and T₂ are the number of cards she needs to cover 6 square feet food bulletin board and 12 square feet food bulletin board respectively. So

$T_1=\dfrac{6}{\frac{1}{4}}=24,\\\\T_2=\dfrac{12}{\frac{1}{4}}=48$

Therefore, in total she need 24+48=72 index cards.

Explain the purpose of statements and reasons in a formal proof.

baherus [9]

Geometric proofs can be written in one of two ways: two columns, or a paragraph. A paragraph proof is only a two-column proof written in sentences. However, since it is easier to leave steps out when writing a paragraph proof, we'll learn the two-column method.

A two-column geometric proof consists of a list of statements, and the reasons that we know those statements are true. The statements are listed in a column on the left, and the reasons for which the statements can be made are listed in the right column. Every step of the proof (that is, every conclusion that is made) is a row in the two-column proof.

Writing a proof consists of a few different steps.

Draw the figure that illustrates what is to be proved. The figure may already be drawn for you, or you may have to draw it yourself.

List the given statements, and then list the conclusion to be proved. Now you have a beginning and an end to the proof.

Mark the figure according to what you can deduce about it from the information given. This is the step of the proof in which you actually find out how the proof is to be made, and whether or not you are able to prove what is asked. Congruent sides, angles, etc. should all be marked so that you can see for yourself what must be written in the proof to convince the reader that you are right in your conclusion.

Write the steps down carefully, without skipping even the simplest one. Some of the first steps are often the given statements (but not always), and the last step is the conclusion that you set out to prove. A sample proof looks like this:

Given:

Segment AD bisects segment BC.

Segment BC bisects segment AD.

Prove:

Triangles ABM and DCM are congruent.

Notice that when the SAS postulate was used, the numbers in parentheses correspond to the numbers of the statements in which each side and angle was shown to be congruent. Anytime it is helpful to refer to certain parts of a proof, you can include the numbers of the appropriate statements in parentheses after the reason.
