A trucking company sets up contracts with various manufacturing companies to ship their freight. One contract has the following points: A charge of 6.5% of the total value of the freight for each delivery. A charge of $70 per delivery regardless of the amount of freight. Your responsibility is to determine the lowest values of combinations of total freight value and number of deliveries each month that will be necessary in order for the trucking company to make AT LEAST $102,000 each month.

Answers

Answer 1

Using concept of linear inequality, number of least deliveries is 30 and value of freight is $60000.

What are linear inequalities?

Inequality represents the mathematical expression in which both sides are not equal. If the relationship makes the non-equal comparison between two expressions or two numbers, then it is known as inequality in Maths. In this case, the equal sign “=” in the expression is replaced by any of the inequality symbols such as greater than symbol (>), less than symbol (<), greater than or equal to symbol (≥), less than or equal to symbol (≤) or not equal to symbol (≠). The different types of inequalities in Maths are polynomial inequality, rational inequality, absolute value inequality.

The symbols ‘<‘ and ‘>’ express the strict inequalities and the symbols ‘≤’ and ‘≥’ denote slack inequalities. A linear inequality seems exactly like a linear equation but there is a change in the symbol that relates two expressions.

e.g. y>x+2

Now,

Given charge of $70 per delivery and A charge of 6.5% of the total value of the freight for each delivery and least amount is $102,000.

Let only one delivery is possible per day and no. of deliveries=n

amount of each freight=x

Therefore,

Linear inequality will be n(6.5/100**x+70)>102000

So least values of n and x will be

n=30 and x=$60000

Hence,

          number of least deliveries is 30 and value of freight is $60000.

Susan graphed a system of equations for the lines y = 3x + 1 and y = 3x - 10. Which statement is true about Susan's lines?
The lines intersect once at a right angle because they are perpendicular.
The lines intersect at all points because they are the same line.
The lines intersect three times because each has a slope of three.
The lines do not intersect because they are parallel and have different y-intercepts.

Answers

Answer: The lines do not intersect because they are parallel and have different y-intercepts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the linear equation in slope-intercept form given the following:
(-3, 7) and (6, -8)

Answers

Answer:

y = - [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 8)

m = [tex]\frac{-8-7}{6+3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-15}{9}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] , then

y = - [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (6, - 8) , then

- 8 = - 10 + c ⇒ c = - 8 + 10 = 2

y = - [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] x + 2 ← equation of line

Are 0.34 and 3/4 equivalent? Please explain your answer In complete sentences.

no

when 3 divided by 4 is converted into a decimal, it is 0.75 which does not equal 0.34

0.34 can also be written as 34/100

therefore 0.34 and 3/4 are not equivalent

Radium-226 has a half-life of 1660 years. How many years does it take a radium sample to decay to 55% of the original amount? Round your answer to the nearest year.

Answers

Answer:

1432 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A(t) = I(0.5)^t/t1/2

Where t1/2 = half life = 1660

Final amount, A(t) = 0.55 of its original amount =. 0.55I

Hence, we have

0.55I = I(0.5)^t/1660

Take the log of both sides

Log(0.55) = log(0.5)^t/1660

t/1660 = log(0.55) / log(0.5)

t/1660 = 0.8624964

t = 0.8624964 * 1660

t = 1431.7441

t = 1432(nearest whole number)

A cone has a volume of 47.1 cm³ and a radius of 3 cm what is its height?

Answers

Radius of cone ( r ) = 3 cm,

Curved surface area of a cone= 47.1 cm²

Curved surface area of a cone= πrl

47.1 = πrl

47.1 = 3.14 × 3 × l

l = 47.1 / (3.14 × 3)

l = 15.7 / 3.14= 1570/314= 5 cm

slant height (l) = 5 cm

Height of a cone (h) = √(l²) - (r²)

h = √ 5² -3²

h = √ 25 - 9 = √ 16 = 4 cm

h = 4 cm

Volume of cone= ⅓(πr²h)

= ⅓(3.14 × 3 × 3 × 4)

= 3.14 × 12= 37.68 cm³

Hence, the volume of a cone is 37.68 cm³.

four and sixty eight thousandths in decimal form

Answers

Answer:

4.068

Step-by-step explanation:

( i think. I haven't done decimals in a while)

The value of each digit in a number is known as the place value. The four and sixty-eight thousandths in decimal form can be written as 4.068.

What is the place value of a digit in a number?

The value of each digit in a number is known as the place value. The 5 in 350, for example, represents 5 tens, or 50, whereas the 5 in 5,006 represents 5 thousand, or 5,000. It is critical that children that while a digit can be the same, its value is determined by its position in the number.

Identification of the place value of a digit in a number:

The place values on the left of the decimal point start as ones, tens, hundreds, and so on.The place value on the right of the decimal point starts from the point and goes to the right as tenths, hundredths, and so onThe tens mean multiply by 10The tenth means the tenth part of that digit which is that digit divided by 10

The given number can be written as,

Four → 4Sixty-eight thousandths → 68×(1/1000) = 68/1000 = 0.68

Now, we can write the complete number as,

Four and sixty eight thousandths = 4 + 0.68 = 4.068

Hence, the four and sixty-eight thousandths in decimal form can be written as 4.068.

It took Hank 3.4 hours to travel 124 miles. At that rate, how long will it take Hank to travel 310 miles?

Answers

Answer: Time = 8.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Speed = distance / time

Distance  traveled by  Hank = 124 miles

Time = 3.4 hrs

Speed= Distance / Time

= 124/ 3.4 = 36.47 miles per hour

Step 2

At this same rate of speed =36.47 miles per hour, if he travels 310 miles, he will spend=

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 310/ 36.47

Time =8.5 hours
