Answer:

The number of pages in the U.S. Tax Code is 20,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Designate T as the number of pages in the U.S. tax code.

Let B represent the number of pages in the King James Bible.

The U.S. tax code's pages exceed the Bible's by 18,528.

This can be translated to mean that the U.S. tax code has 18,528 pages more than the Bible.

This is expressed mathematically as:

T=B+18528..........(1)

The total number of pages between the tax code and the Bible is 21,472.

T+B=21472......... (2)

Next, replace T in equation (1) into equation (2)

B+18528+B=21472

=> 2B+18528=21472

=> 2B=2944

Giving us B=1,472 (Bible pages)

And T = 1472+18528 = 20,000

Conclusively, the U.S. tax code contains 20,000 pages.

Let x represent the number of pages in the U.S. Tax Code and y denote the pages in the King James Bible.

According to the provided information,
x= y+18,528 ⇒ y=x-18,528
x+y = 21,472 ⇒ x+(x-18,528) = 21,472 ⇒ x+x-18,528 = 21,472 ⇒ 2x= 18,528+21,472 ⇒ 2x = 40,000 ⇒ x=40,000/2 = 20,000 pages

Therefore, the U.S. tax code consists of 20,000 pages.

1 kilogram is equivalent to about 2.2 pounds. An orangutan weighs 142 pounds. What is its mass in kilograms? Round your answer t
AnnZ [12381]

The weight of an orangutan is 64.5 kilograms

Solution:

It is stated that the orangutan's weight is 142 pounds

Additionally,

1 kilogram is approximately 2.2 pounds

We will now convert 142 pounds into kilograms

1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds

\text{1 pound } = \frac{1}{2.2} \text{ kilograms }

As a result, 142 pounds translates to

142 \text{ pound } = \frac{1}{2.2} \times 142 \text{ kilogrmas }

\rightarrow \frac{1}{2.2} \times 142 = 64.545 \text{ kilograms }

When rounding to the nearest tenth, we obtain 64.5 kilograms

Therefore the mass of the orangutan is 64.5 kilograms

Uma empresa transporta armários para escritórios para uma localidade distante 425km. Seu custo é de R$2,10 por km rodado. Quando
tester [12383]

Answer:

1.  $14.88

2.  $12.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Translated into English:

A company is responsible for transporting office cabinets over a distance of 425km. The charge is R $ 2.10 for each kilometer journeyed. If the cabinets are assembled, the vehicle can carry 60 units. When taken apart, the capacity expands by 6 times. We need to determine: 1- The cost for each assembled cabinet? 2- The savings achieved per cabinet when they are disassembled.

Solution:

For 425 km at R $2.10 per km:

425 * 2.10 = $892.50 total expenditure

For the 60 assembled cabinets, the cost for each is calculated as:

Cost per assembled cabinet = 892.5/60 = $14.875, rounding to $14.88

When disassembled, the capacity becomes:

60 * 6 = 360

The cost per cabinet is then:

892.5/360 = $2.48

The savings indicate how much is saved compared to assembled cabinets:

14.88 - 2.48 = $12.40

Savings = $12.40

Ann is grouping 38 rocks. She can put them into groups of 10 rocks or as single rocks. What are the different ways Ann can group
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer: There are two distinct methods to achieve this.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we have

A total of rocks = 38

If we want to create groups of 10 or count them individually, there are two methods;

Case I:

When grouped into sets of 10

There will be four sets; the first set has 10 rocks,

The second set contains 10 rocks,

The third set also has 10 rocks,

And the fourth set will only have 8 rocks.

Case II:

If we group them individually,

There will be 38 separate sets.
