It will take 15 hours more to build the wall using only 5 bricklayers.

This question deals with indirect proportion. To solve it, you need to first find the product of the number of bricklayers and the number of hours it took to build the wall.

= Number of bricklayers x Number of hours taken

= 8 x 25

= 200 bricklayer hours are required to build that wall if using 8 bricklayers.

Because you are using 5 bricklayers, the number of hours they will take is:

= Number of hours taken to build by 8 bricklayers/ Number of bricklayers available

= 200 / 5

= 40 hours

Difference is:

= 40 - 25

= 15 hours

In conclusion, it will take 5 bricklayers, 15 hours more to build the wall.

A large study of German children of Caucasian descent found that 46% have brown hair and that 25% have freckles. Nonetheless, yo

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Having brown hair and having freckles are not necessarily independent events

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Percentage of children having brown hairs = 46%

Percentage of people children having freckles = 25%

But it cannot be concluded that

German children of Caucasian descent are brown‑haired with freckles =

$0.46\times 0.25 = 0.115 = 11.5\%$

This is not always true because of the following reasons:

Brown hair and having freckles are not necessarily independent events.

We can not assume that event of a child having brown hair is independent of the event of child having freckles. The events could be dependent as well.

The above will only be true when event of a child having brown hair is independent of the event of child having freckles.

If the events are independent then,

$P(A \cap B) = P(A)\times P(B)$

Find the area and the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 5 feet and a width of 4 5/9 feet. Write each answer as a fractio

Over [174]

$\bf \textit{area of a rectangle}\\\\ A=Lw~~ \begin{cases} L=5\\ w=4\frac{5}{9}\\[0.8em] \qquad \frac{4\cdot 9+5}{9}\\[0.8em] \qquad \frac{41}{5} \end{cases}\implies A=5\cdot \cfrac{41}{5}\implies \stackrel{fraction}{A=\cfrac{41}{1}}\implies \stackrel{decimal}{A=41} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\bf \textit{perimeter of a rectangle}\\\\ A=2(L+w)\qquad \implies A=2\left(5+\cfrac{41}{5} \right) \implies A=2\left( \cfrac{25+41}{5} \right) \\\\\\ A=2\left( \cfrac{66}{5} \right)\implies A=\cfrac{132}{5}\implies \stackrel{fraction}{A=26\frac{2}{5}}\implies \stackrel{decimal}{A=26.4}$

What is the solution to a system of linear equations if the answer is -3=-3?

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

So the equation is saying that -3 is equal to 3. But that is false so it would make the system of linear equations be no solution. Which means that you are giving a number that is equal to another number when its not. For example, lets say that you are given 4=-20 well that would be no solution because those aren't equal. Now lets say you are given 20=20 that would be infinitely many solutions because the two numbers are equal to each other.

Hope this helps
