A delivery person uses a service elevator to bring boxes of books up to an office. The delivery person weighs 170lb and each box of books weighs 60 lb. The maximum capacity of the elevator is 1240lb. How many boxes of books can the delivery person bring up at one​ time?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

17.83 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets represent the number of boxes of books that can be brought up per time = x

From the question: The delivery person weighs 170lb and each box of books weighs 60 lb. The maximum capacity of the elevator is 1240lb.

Hence we have the Algebraic Expressions

170lb + 60 × x = 1240lb

170lb + 60x = 1240lb

Collect like terms

60x = 1240lb - 170lb

60x = 1070lb

x = 1070lb/60

x = 17.833333333

x = 17.83 boxes

Therefore, the delivery person can bring up 17.83 boxes per time

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{x=-12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for this proportion, it’s important to note that this is basically just an equation. Like any other, our goal is to isolate x on one side.

Since we have two fractions, we can multiply both sides by both the denominators (x-3 and x-9). Since one will cancel out the other, we can just multiply both sides by the opposite denominator.

[tex]5(x-9)=7(x-3)\\\\5x-45=7x-21[/tex]

Now we can solve for x.

Subtract 5x from both sides:

[tex]-45=2x-21[/tex]

Add 21 to both sides:

[tex]-24=2x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2:

[tex]x = -12[/tex]

Hope this helped!

Answer:

[tex]x= -12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

[tex]\frac{5}{x-3} =\frac{7}{x-9}[/tex]

Step 2: Solve for x

Cross multiply: [tex]5(x-9)=7(x-3)[/tex]Distribute: [tex]5x-45=7x-21[/tex]Subtract 5x on both sides: [tex]-45=2x-21[/tex]Add 21 to both sides: [tex]-24=2x[/tex]Divide both sides by 2: [tex]-12=x[/tex]Rewrite: [tex]x= -12[/tex]

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

[tex]\frac{5}{-12-3} =\frac{7}{-12-9}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{-15} =\frac{7}{-21}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-1}{3} =\frac{-1}{3}[/tex]

Imaginá que tenés 125 dados cúbicos del mismo tamaño ¿Cuantos dados de altura tiene el cubo de mayor tamaño que podés armar apilando de manera conveniente todos ellos? Mostrá cómo lo pensaste Si quisieras formar un "cuadrado" con la mayor cantidad de cubos posibles, ¿cuántos deberías poner sobre cada lado? ¿Te quedarían cubos sueltos? ¿Cuántos? Mostrá cómo razonás

Answers

Answer:

(i) Debemos apilar 5 dados para construir el cubo de mayor tamaño.

(ii) Se necesita 121 dados cuadrados para formar el cuadrado con la mayor cantidad de dados posibles, quedando 4 dados sobrantes.

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Sabemos por la Geometría Euclídea del Espacio que un cubo es un sólido regular con 6 caras cuadradas y longitudes iguales. Cada dado tiene un volumen de 1 dado cúbico y 125 dados dan un volumen total de 125 dados cúbicos.

El volumen de un cubo está dado por la siguiente fórmula:

[tex]V = L^{3}[/tex]

Donde:

[tex]L[/tex] - Longitud de la arista, medida en dados.

[tex]V[/tex] - Volumen del cubo, medido en dados cúbicos.

Ahora, necesitamos despejar la longitud de la arista para calcular la altura máxima posible:

[tex]L = \sqrt[3]{V}[/tex]

Dado que [tex]V = 125\,dados^{3}[/tex], encontramos que la altura del cubo de mayor tamaño sería:

[tex]L =\sqrt[3]{125\,dados^{3}}[/tex]

[tex]L = 5\,dados[/tex]

Debemos apilar 5 dados para construir el cubo de mayor tamaño.

(ii) El área cuadrada formada por cubos está determinada por la siguiente fórmula:

[tex]A = L^{2}[/tex]

Donde:

[tex]L[/tex] - Longitud de arista, medida en dados.

[tex]A[/tex] - Área, medida en dados cuadrados.

Puesto que la longitud de arista se basa en un conjunto discreto, esto es, el número de dados disponibles, debemos encontrar el valor máximo de [tex]L[/tex] tal que no supere 125 y de un área entera. Es decir:

[tex]L \leq 125\,dados[/tex]

Si cada cubo tiene un área de 1 dado cuadrado, entonces un cuadrado conformado por 125 dados tiene un área total de 125 dados cuadrados. Entonces:

[tex]L^{2}< 125\,dados^{2}[/tex]

Esto nos lleva a decir que:

[tex]L < 11.180\,dados[/tex]

Entonces, la longitud máxima del cuadrado con la mayor cantidad de cubos posible es de 11 dados. El número total requerido de cubos es el cuadrado de esa cifra, es decir:

[tex]n = (11\,dados)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]n = 121\,dados[/tex]

Se necesita 121 dados cuadrados para formar el cuadrado con la mayor cantidad de dados posibles, quedando 4 dados sobrantes.

A bakery sold apple pies for $12 and blueberry pies for $14 on Saturday sold a total of 41 pies and collected a total of $536 how many apple pies did you sell and how many blueberry pies do they sell

Answers

Answer:

22 blueberry pies and 19 apple pies.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved using a system of equations. Your equation for amount of pies sold is x + y = 41, with x representing apple pies and y representing blueberry pies, and 41 being the total amount of pies sold. The other equation is for the amount of dollars earned from selling the pies, which is:

12x + 14y = 536     $12 per apple pie, $14 per blueberry pie, and a total of $536.

Let's first solve for x. The new equation would be x = 41 - y. Now, we plug this equation into the second equation.

12(41 - y) + 14y = 536    Here we substituted x for the equation we made.

429 - 12y +14y = 536

-12y +14y = 44   Here we moved the 429 to the other side by subtracting it from the left and right.

2y = 44

y = 22. Now we know that there was a total of 22 blueberry pies sold. Now we plug 22 pies back into the very first equation to find x, the amount of apple pies.

x + 22 = 41

x = 19. Now we know there was a total of 19 apple pies sold.

Hope this helps!
