Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 720

Cevap

The total amount of steel allocated to all three divisions is 720 tons.

The ratio of steel for submarine repair, surface ship repair, and new construction is

3:4:5

, which means there are

12

total parts (

3+4+5

). We are given that surface ship repair, the middle term representing

4

parts of the ratio, receives

240

tons. To find the value of a single part, divide

240

by

4

, yielding

60

tons. Finally, multiply this unit rate by the

12

total parts to find the total steel allocation:

60 \times 12 = 720

tons.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the number of ratio parts assigned to surface ship repair and calculate the total number of parts.

Surface ship repair = 4 parts. Total parts = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 parts.

To find the value of a single part, we must correctly match the given amount to its corresponding ratio value.

2

Calculate the amount of steel that corresponds to one ratio part.

240 tons / 4 parts = 60 tons per part.

Finding this unit rate allows us to scale up to the total amount.

3

Multiply the unit rate by the total number of parts.

60 tons/part * 12 parts = 720 tons.

The question asks for the total amount of steel allocated to all three divisions combined.

Alternatif Yöntem

You can set up a direct proportion: 4 parts / 240 tons = 12 total parts / x tons. Cross-multiplying gives 4x = 2880, so dividing both sides by 4 yields x = 720.

A mechanical engineer is determining the load factor for a support beam. The calculation requires evaluating the equation below.

\text{Load Factor} = \left( 5 \frac{5}{8} - 2 \frac{3}{4} \right) \div \left( 1 \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{8} \right)

What is the final load factor? Express your answer as an exact decimal.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5.75

Cevap

The final load factor is exactly 5.75.

The expression evaluates to exactly 5.75. This is found by first converting all mixed numbers to improper fractions, calculating the values inside the parentheses (

\frac{23}{8}

and

\frac{1}{2}

respectively), and then performing fraction division by multiplying by the reciprocal (

\frac{23}{8} \times 2 = \frac{23}{4} = 5.75

).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the mixed numbers in the expression to improper fractions.

5 \frac{5}{8} = \frac{45}{8}

,

2 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4}

, and

1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}

.

Fraction multiplication and division require working with improper fractions rather than mixed numbers.

2

Perform the subtraction inside the first set of parentheses:

\frac{45}{8} - \frac{11}{4}

.

Convert

\frac{11}{4}

to

\frac{22}{8}

. Then,

\frac{45}{8} - \frac{22}{8} = \frac{23}{8}

.

To subtract fractions, they must have a common denominator. The lowest common denominator for 8 and 4 is 8.

3

Perform the multiplication inside the second set of parentheses:

\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{3}{8}

.

Multiply the numerators and denominators:

\frac{4 \times 3}{3 \times 8} = \frac{12}{24}

. This simplifies to

\frac{1}{2}

.

Following the order of operations (PEMDAS), operations inside parentheses must be evaluated first.

4

Divide the result of the first parentheses by the result of the second parentheses.

\frac{23}{8} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{23}{8} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{46}{8}

.

Dividing by a fraction is mathematically equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal.

5

Simplify the final fraction and convert it to a decimal format.

\frac{46}{8} = \frac{23}{4} = 5 \frac{3}{4}

. As a decimal,

5 \frac{3}{4} = 5.75

.

The question specifically requests the final load factor expressed as a decimal.

Cevap: 464

Cevap

464

The correct answer is found by first determining the value of a single ratio part. Since

5

parts represent

The given ratio indicates the alloy consists of

7

parts titanium and

4

parts aluminum, making

11

parts in total. Because the

7

parts of titanium weigh

140\text{ kg}

, each single part weighs

20\text{ kg}

(

140 \div 7

). Multiplying the

11

total parts by

20\text{ kg}

per part results in a total weight of

220\text{ kg}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the weight of a single ratio part based on the known titanium content.

140\text{ kg} \div 7\text{ parts} = 20\text{ kg per part}

Since the ratio of titanium to aluminum is

7:4

, the

140\text{ kg}

corresponds exactly to the

7

parts of titanium.

2

Calculate the total number of parts in the alloy mixture.

7\text{ parts (titanium)} + 4\text{ parts (aluminum)} = 11\text{ total parts}

The total weight is composed of both the titanium and the aluminum parts combined.

A military motor pool maintains a fleet of tactical trucks, transport vans, and passenger cars in a ratio of $8:5:3$ . If there are exactly $112$ total vehicles in this fleet, how many transport vans does the motor pool maintain?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 35

Cevap

The motor pool maintains 35 transport vans.

The problem outlines a part-to-part-to-part ratio of

8:5:3

and a total quantity of

112

. To solve this, first add the parts of the ratio together (

8 + 5 + 3 = 16

). Next, divide the total quantity by the total ratio parts (

112 \div 16 = 7

) to determine that each 'part' represents

7

actual vehicles. Since the ratio for transport vans is the middle number (

5

), multiply

5

by

7

to correctly get

35

transport vans.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the total number of parts in the given ratio.

8 + 5 + 3 = 16

parts

Since the total number of vehicles in the fleet is given, we must find the total sum of the ratio parts to determine the size of a single part.

2

Calculate the exact value of a single ratio part.

112 \div 16 = 7

vehicles per part

Dividing the total quantity of vehicles by the total number of ratio parts gives the multiplier for the ratio.

3

Find the number of transport vans.

5 \times 7 = 35

transport vans

The ratio value specifically assigned to transport vans is

5

. Multiplying this by the value of one part gives the final count.

A supply clerk is organizing copper wire. A spool initially contains $15\frac{4}{5}$ meters of wire. If a technician uses $6\frac{1}{2}$ meters of wire from the spool, how many meters of wire remain? Express your answer as a decimal.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 9.3

Cevap

9.3

The initial length of the wire is

15\frac{4}{5}

meters and the used portion is

6\frac{1}{2}

meters. By converting these to decimals, you get

15.8

meters and

6.5

meters. Subtracting the used portion from the initial portion yields

15.8 - 6.5 = 9.3

meters. Alternatively, using a common denominator of 10 gives

15\frac{8}{10} - 6\frac{5}{10} = 9\frac{3}{10}

, which also equals 9.3.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the mixed numbers to decimals or find a common denominator.

15\frac{4}{5} = 15.8

and

6\frac{1}{2} = 6.5

Numbers must be in a uniform format to perform subtraction easily.

2

Subtract the length of wire used from the initial length.

15.8 - 6.5 = 9.3

The remaining length is the difference between the starting amount and the used amount.

In a piece of heavy machinery, two interlocking gears are rotating together. The drive gear has $28$ teeth, and the driven gear has $42$ teeth. At a certain moment, a marked tooth on the drive gear aligns exactly with a marked tooth on the driven gear. How many teeth must pass the alignment point before these two specific marked teeth align with each other again?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $84$

Cevap

The gears will align again after

84

teeth pass the alignment point.

To find the moment when two rotating cycles synchronize, the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of their cycle lengths (the number of teeth) must be determined. By finding the prime factorizations (

28 = 2^2 \times 7

and

42 = 2 \times 3 \times 7

) and multiplying the highest powers of all unique prime factors present (

2^2 \times 3 \times 7

), the LCM is calculated as

84

. Thus, exactly

84

teeth must pass for the marked teeth to realign.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the mathematical concept required to solve the synchronization problem.

The problem asks for the next time repeating cycles coincide, which requires finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of

28

and

42

.

The LCM determines the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of both numbers, representing the first point where both gear cycles overlap.

2

Find the prime factorization of the number of teeth on each gear.

For the drive gear:

28 = 2^2 \times 7

. For the driven gear:

42 = 2 \times 3 \times 7

.

Prime factorization breaks down each number into its core primes, allowing for an accurate calculation of the LCM.

3

Calculate the LCM using the identified prime factors.

LCM =

2^2 \times 3 \times 7 = 4 \times 3 \times 7 = 84

.

The LCM is calculated by taking the highest power of each prime factor that appears in any of the original factorizations.
