A delivery person uses a service elevator to bring boxes of books up to an office. The delivery person weighs 150lb and each box of books weighs 40lb. The maximum capacity of the elevator is 1140lb. How many boxes of books can the delivery person bring up at one time?

24

Step-by-step explanation:

The delivery person can take 24 boxes of books up the elevator at one time. This was my process:

(1140-150) / 40

990 / 40

24.75

But you cannot have three quarters of a box so the final answer would be 24.

option (b) is correct

step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution of this system, we need to convert it into reduced row-echelon form. we have,

after applying row operations r2 -> r2/2 and r3 -> r3/3, we get,

step-by-step explanation:

given that ab is divided into equal parts as

ac, cd, de, ef, fg, gh, hi, ib.

from this we find that f is the midpoint of ab.

so using mid point formula we find

f = (3,7)

similarly considering fb, we get

h = mid point of fb = ((6,6) and g, mid point of fh is

g = (9/2, 13/2)

i is mid point of hb

so i =(15/2,11/2)
