We have been given that an unloaded truck and trailer, with the driver aboard, weighs 30,000 pounds. When fully loaded, the truck holds 26 pallets of cargo, and each of the 18 tires of the fully loaded semi-truck bears approximately 3,300 pounds.

First of all, we will find weight of 18 tires by multiplying 18 by 3,300 as:

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=18\times 3,300$

$\text{Weight of tires of the fully loaded semi-truck}=59,400$

The weight of 26 pallets would be weight of 18 tires minus weight of unloaded truck.

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=59,400-30,000$

$\text{Weight of 26 pallets of cargo}=29,400$

Now, we will divide 29,400 by 26 to find average weight of one pallet of cargo.

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=\frac{29,400}{26}$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}=1130.769230769$

$\text{Average weight of one pallet of cargo}\approx 1131$

Therefore, the average weight of one pallet of cargo is approximately 1131 pounds.

Under ideal conditions a certain bacteria population is known to double every three hours. Suppose that there are initially 100

lara [203]

Answer:

the estimation of the size of the population after 20 hours is 10159

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the size of the population after 20, hours is shown below;

= 100 2^(20 by 3)

= 10159.36

If we divide 20 by 3 so it would give 6.66 that lies between 6 and 7

So the estimation of the size of the population after 20 hours is 10159

hence, the same is relevant
