Five workers together can build a road in 20 days. Suppose every worker works at the same rate. Three workers work on the road f

Answer:

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is an inverse proportion case. Having two variables: number of workers and time (in days); when we increase the number of workers, the time needed decreases; vice versa. Therefore, we can use the multiplication method: (workers * time) will always stay constant.

Let's say the time (in days) needed by the eleven workers is t,

5*20 = (3*10) + (14*t)

100 = 30+14t

70 = 14t

5 = t

It will take the eleven-workers 5 more days to finish the road.

Find the distance between each pair of points. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary. Hint: Use the Pythagorean T
Paul [167]

The distance between two points on the plane is given by the formula below

\begin{gathered} A=(x_1,y_1),B=(x_2,y_2) \\ \Rightarrow d(A,B)=\sqrt[]{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2} \end{gathered}

Therefore, in our case,

A=(-1,-3),B=(5,2)

Thus,

\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow d(A,B)=\sqrt[]{(-1-5)^2+(-3-2)^2}=\sqrt[]{6^2+5^2}=\sqrt[]{36+25}=\sqrt[]{61} \\ \Rightarrow d(A,B)=\sqrt[]{61} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is sqrt(61)

In general,

-(-n)=n

Remember that

-n=(-1)\cdot n

Therefore,

\begin{gathered} a-(-n)=a+(-1)(-n)=a+(-1)(-1\cdot n)=a+(-1)^2\cdot n=a+1\cdot n=a+n \\ \Rightarrow a-(-n)=a+n \end{gathered}
