- Hi, Please give me a clear and detailed solution here. Thanks.arrow_forwardYou have 40 sheep, and can get a 2/3 of a bushel of wool from each. You want to buy 1100 bricks from the kiln to enclose a sheepfold to protect your flock. The kiln operator charges a shekel of copper for each 5 bricks. The trader from Anatolia wants as much wool as possible, and will give you 7 shekels of copper for each bushel. So obviously you want to sell your wool to the trader, and then buy the bricks. Write this out as an algebraic problem. Give names for all of the quantities, such as sheep, shekels, etc. But can you buy the 1100 bricks you need? How many bushels of wool extra would you have beyond what you need for the bricks, or how many are you missing? How many sheep does that represent?arrow_forwardEach piece of siding is milled to overlap with others and is 12 inches wide by 8 feet long. you need to replace a section that is 6 feet wide. each milled board costs $15.50.

- On the same side of a straight road are two towns, and the townspeople want to build a waste treatment plant along this road. The waste treatment plant is to be built along this road with pipes extending straight to the two towns. Where should the waste treatment plant be built to minimize the total length of the pipe? Waste Treatment Plant Road 1.25 miles 2.125 miles Town A 3.5 miles Town Barrow_forwardA retailer receives a shipment of 12000 soybeans that will be used at a constant rate of 300 pounds per week. If the cost of storing the soybeans is 0.2 cents per pound per week, how much will the retailer have to pay in storage costs over the next 40 weeks?arrow_forwardA hospital dietician wishes to prepare a corn-squash vegetable dish that will provide at least 3 grams of protein and cost no more than 36¢ per serving. An ounce of creamed corn provides 1/2 gram of protein and costs 4¢. An ounce of squash supplies gram 1/4 of protein and costs 3¢. For taste, there must be at least 2 ounces of corn and at least as much squash as corn. It is important to keep the total number of ounces in a serving as small as possible. Find the combination of corn and squash that will minimize the amount of ingredients used per serving.arrow_forward
- The first image is the required information for the problem and the second image is questions asked.arrow_forwardJill has a swimming pool in her backyard. It is shaped like a rectangle and measures approximately 16.3 feet wide and 26.2 feet long. It is an average of 5 feet deep. During a few hot weeks during the summer, some water evaporates from the pool, and Jill needs to add 8 inches of water to the depth of the pool, using her garden hose. Although her water pressure varies, the water flows through Jill’s garden hose at an average rate of 10 gallons/minute. Convert the dimensions of the pool to meters. Round all meter measurements to one decimal place (nearest tenth of a meter). How many liters will Jill need to add to her pool to return the water level to its original depth? How many gallons of water is this? Reminder: Volume = Length x Width x Depth How long will Jill need to run the hose? Express your answer in hours and minutes I need to show all work starting with converting feet to meters. How do i do this?arrow_forwardThe Bryant Company manufactures a custom-designed part for the aerospace industry. Within the production facility, there are five operating departments. The sequence of departments through which the part passes during production is shown in the table below. The table also contains other production information.

- Workers are needed to carry large grain sacs and jerry cans from the office to the warehouse. Each worker can carry either 2 grain sacs or 35 jerry cans per hour. The warehouse is available for 6 hours and 20 grain sacs and 700 jerry cans need to be transported. How many workers are required? The workers can change tasks during the given time.arrow_forwardThe number of buckets of paint n needed to paint a fence varies directly with the total area a of the fence and inversely with the amount of paint p in a bucket.
