Question

A farmer's conveyor belt carries bales of hay from the ground to the barn loft. The conveyor belt moves at 80 ft/min. How many seconds does it take for a bale of hay to go from the ground to the barn loft?

Answer 1

ok

Answer 2

recall also, distance= rate*time

they give you the rate for the belt 80ft/min

Answer 3

6 is the beginning right

Answer 4

what do i do next

Answer 5

13.3?

Answer 6

is that correct?

Answer 7

.075?

Answer 8

i wrote those trig things wrong. sorry

Answer 9

what do i do next?

Answer 10

the ramp length , hypotenuse is...

sin(30) = 12 / h

h = 12/sin(30)

Answer 11

6?

Answer 12

sin(angle)=opposite side / hypotenuse

12 / sin(30) = 24

Answer 13

4?

Answer 14

distance = rate*time

24 = 80*t

t = 3/10

sorry bout that

Answer 15

so .3?

Answer 16

the hay is lifted 12 feet, so the hypotenuse of this triangle could not be 6. Use the given information to find the hypotenuse: angle and height.

Please look carefully at the problem. The hay is lifted 12 feet. How could the hypotenuse possibly be only 4 or 6 feet? Use trig to find the length of the hypotenuse. And please show your work, so that others can give you meaningful feedback on what you have done.

Answer 17

i just dont understnad how to do this problem and my work is on a calculator where im just dividng

Answer 18

@pleasehelpme5
so .3?

I see a distinct pattern of guessing on your part. This is NOT the way to larn math. Please start by asking questions to help you understand what this problem is all about.

Answer 19

3/10 min, 60 seconds per 1 min, so

\[\frac{ 3/10~\min }{ 1 }*\frac{ 60~~\sec }{ 1 ~~\min }= (180/10) \sec = 18 ~\sec\]

Answer 20

ok that makes more sense

Answer 21

thank you for the help

Answer 22

1- find the distance to travel to the top using the sin function
2 - use d = rate*time to get the time to travel that distance at the given rate
3 - correct units

Answer 23

ok thanks so 18 sec is the final answer?

Answer 24

can you help me with a few other problems

Answer 25

yeah i misstyped the thing first, had to correct it

Answer 26

ok thanks so much

Answer 27

If you have other problems to do, please post them separately in the Ask a question box. Please refer back to what DanJS has done and try to apply that knowledge before y ou ask for help.

Answer 28

ok thanks

Answer 29

good with trig functions and rate of travel now, yah

Answer 30

welcome
