Im sorta confused about this question? He has decided to remove all the old sod (grass), bring in a new 4 inch layer of topsoil, install new in-ground sprinklers, and reseed the lawn. He seems to think that he'll be able to save money by hauling loads of topsoil from the store himself in his pickup truck, rather than paying for delivery, but I don't think he's right. You're going to help us settle this. Here is (most of) the information you asked for: [LIST] [*]Is he redoing the whole yard or just the front? He's redoing the whole yard [*]How much topsoil does he need? I'm not sure, you'll have to figure that out. Remember he's putting a new 4 inch layer down over all the area currently covered by grass in the overhead picture above. [*]How big is the yard? I'm not sure, but you can probably estimate it using the overhead picture. [*]What kind of pickup truck does he drive? A 2003 Ford F-150 XL. [*]How much can the pickup carry? The truck bed is 80 inches long, 69 inches wide, and 20 inches tall. [*]How much is the delivery charge? $30 per truckload on top of the soil cost. Each truckload can deliver up to 18 cubic yards. [*]How much does the topsoil cost? $18 per cubic yard (sold in 1/4 yard increments). [*]How far is the soil store? It is 9 miles away. It takes about 20 minutes to drive there. [*]What gas mileage does the pickup truck get? It averages 17 miles to the gallon. [*]What is the current gas cost? Assume it's $3.79/gallon. [/LIST] Using this information, figure out whether my neighbor will save money by picking up the soil himself. Use the results of your calculations to guide your decision: would you recommend that my neighbor pick up the soil himself, or pay for delivery? Detail all your assumptions and calculations, and clearly write out your final conclusions.

Researchers in Antarctica discovered a warm sea current under the glacier that is causing the glacier to melt. The ice shelf of the glacier had a thickness of approximately 450 m when it was first discovered. The thickness of the ice shelf is decreasing at an average rate if 0.06 m per day.

The difference of two numbers is 12 and their mean is 15. Find the two numbers. Let the two numbers be x and y. We're given: [LIST=1] [*]x - y = 12 [*](x + y)/2 = 15. <-- Mean is an average [/LIST] Rearrange equation 1 by adding y to each side: x - y + y = y + 12 Cancelling the y's on the left side, we get: x = y + 12 Now substitute this into equation 2: (y + 12 + y)/2 = 15 Cross multiply: y + 12 + y = 30 Group like terms for y: 2y + 12 = 30 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=2y%2B12%3D30&pl=Solve']Typing this equation into our search engine[/URL], we get: [B]y = 9[/B] Now substitute this into modified equation 1: x = y + 12 x = 9 + 12 [B]x = 21[/B]

The graph shows the average length (in inches) of a newborn baby over the course of its first 15 months. Interpret the RATE OF CHANGE of the graph. [IMG]http://www.mathcelebrity.com/community/data/attachments/0/rate-of-change-wp.jpg[/IMG] Looking at our graph, we have a straight line. For straight lines, rate of change [U][I]equals[/I][/U] slope. Looking at a few points, we have: (0, 20), (12, 30) Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/slope.php?xone=0&yone=20&slope=+2%2F5&xtwo=12&ytwo=30&pl=You+entered+2+points']slope calculator for these 2 points[/URL], we get a slope (rate of change) of: [B]5/6[/B]

The height of an object t seconds after it is dropped from a height of 300 meters is s(t)=-4.9t^2 +300. Find the average velocity of the object during the first 3 seconds? (b) Use the Mean value Theorem to verify that at some time during the first 3 seconds of the fall the instantaneous velocity equals the average velocity. Find that time. Average Velocity: [ f(3) - f(0) ] / ( 3 - 0 ) Calculate f(3): f(3) = -4.9(3^2) + 300 f(3) = -4.9(9) + 300 f(3) = -44.1 + 300 f(3) = 255.9 Calculate f(0): f(0) = -4.9(0^2) + 300 f(0) = 0 + 300 f(0) = 300 So we have average velocity: Average velocity = (255.9 - 300)/(3 - 0) Average velocity = -44.1/3 Average velocity = -[B]14.7 [/B] Velocity is the first derivative of position s(t)=-4.9t^2 +300 s'(t) = -9.8t So we set velocity equal to average velocity: -9.8t = -14.7 Divide each side by -9.8 to solve for t, we get [B]t = 1.5[/B]

The mean age of 10 women in an office is 30 years old. The mean age of 10 men in an office is 29 years old. What is the mean age (nearest year) of all the people in the office? Mean is another word for [U]average[/U]. Mean age of women = Sum of all ages women / number of women We're told mean age of women is 30, so we have: Sum of all ages women / 10 = 30 Cross multiply, and we get: Sum of all ages of women = 30 * 10 Sum of all ages of women = 300 Mean age of men = Sum of all ages men / number of men We're told mean age of men is 29, so we have: Sum of all ages men / 10 = 29 Cross multiply, and we get: Sum of all ages of men = 29 * 10 Sum of all ages of men = 290 [U]Calculate mean age (nearest year) of all the people in the office:[/U] mean age of all the people in the office = Sum of all ages of people in the office (men and women) / Total number of people in the office mean age of all the people in the office = (300 + 290) / (10 + 10) mean age of all the people in the office = 590 / 20 mean age of all the people in the office = 29.5 The question asks for nearest year. Since this is a decimal, we round down to either 29 or up to 30. Because the decimal is greater or equal to 0.5 (halfway), we round [U]up[/U] to [B]30[/B]

The mean of two numbers is 49.1. The first number is 18.3. What is the second number We call the second number n. Since the mean is an average, in this case 2 numbers, we have: (18.3 + n)/2 = 49.1 Cross multiply: 18.3 + n = 98.2 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=18.3%2Bn%3D98.2&pl=Solve']Typing this equation into our search engine[/URL], we get: [B]n = 79.9[/B]

The minimum daily requirement of vitamin C for 14 year olds is at least 50 milligrams per day. An average sized apple contains 6 milligrams of vitamin C. How many apples would a person have to eat each day to satisfy this requirement? Let a be the number of apples required. The phrase [I]at least[/I] means greater than or equal to, so we have the inequality: 6a >= 50 To solve this inequality, we [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/interval-notation-calculator.php?num=6a%3E%3D50&pl=Show+Interval+Notation']type it in our math engine[/URL] and we get: [B]a >= 8.3333 apples or rounded up to a full number, we get 9 apples[/B]

two numbers have an average of 2100 and one number is $425 more than the other number. What are the numbers Let the first number be x and the second number be y. We're given two equations: [LIST=1] [*](x + y)/2 = 2100 (Average) [*]y = x + 425 [/LIST] Rearrange equation (1) by cross multiplying x + y = 2 * 2100 x + y = 4200 So we have our revised set of equations: [LIST=1] [*]x + y = 4200 [*]y = x + 425 [/LIST] Substituting equation (2) into equation (1) for y, we get: x + (x + 425) = 4200 Combining like terms, we get: 2x + 425 = 4200 Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=2x%2B425%3D4200&pl=Solve']equation solver[/URL], we get: x = [B]1887.5[/B] Which means using equation (2), we get y = 1887.5 + 425 y = [B]2312.5[/B]
