The gross weight of a truck containing 30 pigs is 8 tons 1,123 pounds and 6 ounces. the average weight of one pig is 95 pounds 10 ounces. find the following: a. the net weight of the pigs in the truck. b. the weight of the empty truck

The net weight of the pigs of the truck is 1 ton 868 pounds 12 ounces.

The weight of the empty truck is 7 tons 254 pounds 10 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The gross weight of a  truck containing 30 pigs = 8 tons 1123 pounds 6 ounces

Average weight of one pig = 95 pounds 10 ounces

Now,

We know that

So,

Similarly,

So, Net weight of the pigs in the truck

So, the net weight of the pigs of the truck is 1 ton 868 pounds 12 ounces.

Now, we'll find the weight of the empty truck is given by

Hence, the weight of the empty truck is 7 tons 254 pounds 10 ounces .

x + 107

step-by-step explanation:

let's say that the number he had before the mistake was x. then, he will have 107 dollars more than this, so the answer is x + 107.

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
