Question

I have a couple questions

Answer 1

Craig wants to use an elevator to carry identical packages having the same weight. Each package weighs 4 pounds and Craig weighs 90 pounds. If the elevator can carry a maximum of 330 pounds at a time, which inequality shows the maximum number of packages, n, that Craig can carry with himself in the elevator if he is the only passenger?
n ≥ 60
n ≤ 60
n ≤ 236
n ≥ 236

Answer 2

hey jk

Answer 3

i was gonna ask u this to but u left

Answer 4

Hello! The elevator can't carry more then 330 pounds. Since he already weighs 90 pounds, The packages can't exceed 330-90.

Answer 5

ya i know that much

Answer 6

but why 330 to (90)

Answer 7

You then take that number 330-90, and divide by 4, to see how many packages he can carry. It's 330 to 90 because, we need to subtract his weight from the total amount the elevator can carry.

Answer 8

oh minus 90 wow thats easy i didnt even relize tysm can u do 1 more

Answer 9

Since Craig weighs 90 pounds we have to subtract 90 from the maximum capacity of the elevator: 330. That's 240 pounds. Then we decide 240 by 4 to find out how many packages he can carry so 240m divided by 4 is 60. This means that Craig can carry no more than 60 packages with him on the elevator so the answer is the second inequality.

Answer 10

wait is it a or b

Answer 11

wjat does n stand for

Answer 12

If you take 330 - 90, divide it by 4. Then you'll know the "maximum" that he can carry. The n stands for the number of packages.

Answer 13

oh ok so b

Answer 14

b

Answer 15

i explained on the top how its b

Answer 16

Yes. When you do the math you get b as your answer. Since n can't exceed the number.

Answer 17

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 72. What is the largest of these numbers?
23
25
26
28
what is the three consecutive numbers

Answer 18

(x-2)+(x-1)+x = 72

3x - 3 = 72

3x = 72+3

3x = 75

x = 75/3

x = 25

So the largest of the three consecutive numbers is 25.

Answer 19

hope it helps

Answer 20

i still dont get what the consecutive means, the largest number?

Answer 21

Consecutive means in a row, like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....

Answer 22

oh ok

Answer 23

wait so is the question asking the next 3 numbers after the choices

Answer 24

In other words you are finding 3 numbers in a row that add to 72. You can use the formula

(x+2)+(x+1) +x = 72

or think about what 3 numbers can add up to 72.

Answer 25

honestly i am still SUPER confused on what the question

Answer 26

The question is asking what are 3 numbers in a row that can add to 72. Then you have to find the largest of those 3 numbers.

Answer 27

is asking*

Answer 28

but i can only pick 1

Answer 29

Yes, so once you find the 3 numbers that add to 72, you pick the largest one.

Answer 30

oh ok

Answer 31

23 25 26 28 are the numbers

Answer 32

The "formulaic way" to solve it, is by using what @Janu16 said, but since that might be advanced for you, just think of 3 numbers in a row that add to 72. Then take the largest number from the 3. Than's how you get your answer.

Answer 33

wait can u just me an eample

Answer 34

3 Consecutive numbers that add to 9 is 2 + 3 + 4. The largest of those numbers is 4.

Answer 35

oh ok

Answer 36

ok so not a

Answer 37

oh its b

Answer 38

Right, all you have to do is find 3 numbers that add to 72, and find the largest one. You have to think. Yes, it's b.

Answer 39

ya i get it now tysm

Answer 40

one more question

Answer 41

how do u figure out the percentage of a number to be a number

Answer 42

like 15% of a 56-page book.

Answer 43

write the whole question
