A dump truck bar 1/3 of a ton of rocks on the 1st beat trip when half of a ton on the 2nd trip and forfeits of a tone on the 3rd trip what was the total way of the rock.

1/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the correct question:

A dump truck brought 1⁄3 of a ton of rock on the first trip, 1⁄2 of a ton on the second trip, but on the third trip, had to take back 4⁄5 of a ton. What was the total weight of the rock left at the construction site?

To calculate the the total weight of the rock left at the construction site goes thus:

= 1/3 + 1/2 - 4/5

The lowest common multiple of 3,2 and 5 is 30. Therefore, we'll make the fractions have a common denominator.

= 1/3 + 1/2 - 4/5

= 10/30 + 15/30 - 24/30.

= 1/30

It is better to use completing the square method to solve this quadratic equation.
