An elevator can carry up to 2,500 pounds. Suppose the weight of an average adult is 150 pounds. At most how many average-sized adults can safely ride the elevator at the same time? Write an inequality and solve. Let p
represent the number of people who can safely ride the elevator.

16

Step-by-step explanation:

2500/150=16 2/3

but we dont want 2/3 of a person so just ignore that part

im in a hurry sorry

16

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that you can go up to 2500, simply multiple until you reach your target of 2500, i did 150 x 16 to get 2400, 100 less than 2500, meaning it would be safe and one more wouldn't.

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)

4400
