The posted weight limit for a wooden bridge is 6,500 pounds. A delivery truck
is loaded with identical boxes of canned
goods that weigh 16 pounds each. If the
combined weight of the empty delivery
truck and the driver is 3,512 pounds,
what is the maximum number of boxes
that would keep the combined weight of
the truck, driver, and boxes below the
posted weight limit?

9514 1404 393

  186

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of boxes in the truck. Then for the weight limit to be met, we require ...

  3512 +16b < 6500

  16b < 2988

  b < 186.75

The maximum number of boxes is 186.

answer: given that the roller coaster can accommodate 1600 riders per hour, thus the roller coaster can accomodate 1600 / 60 = 26.67 riders per minute.

given that there are 345 people in the line, the number of minutes it will take for the 345 persons to get into the roller coaster is given by 345 / 26.67 = 12.94 minutes.

therefore, it will take you 12.94 minutes to get to the front of the line.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 21%.
