Two mechanics can assemble 10 bicycles in 8 hours. How many bicycles could one mechanic assemble in 8 hours? Use what you determ

ined in part (a) to write the unit rate for one bicycle mechanic to assemble bicycles. Write an equation that relates the rate, bicycles, and time needed for one mechanic. Let t represent time and b represent bicycles assembled. Use your equation to find out how long it would take one mechanic to assemble 25 bicycles.

Using proportions, it is found that one mechanic could assemble 5 bicycles in 8 hours, and it would take 40 hours to assemble 25 bicycles.

The equation is: b = 0.625t.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, two mechanics can assemble 10 bicycles in 8 hours. How many bicycles could one mechanic assemble in 8 hours? Hence the <em>rule of three</em> is given by:

2 mechanics - 10 bicycles.

1 mechanic - x bicycle.

Applying cross multiplication:

2x = 10 -> x = 5 bicycles in 8 hours.

Hence the equation for the number of bicycles in t hours of a single mechanic is given by:

b = 5/8t = 0.625t.

For 25 bicycles, we have that:

25 = 0.625t.

t = 25/0.625.

t = 40 hours.

Estimate the value of \frac{\sqrt{2\pi }}{\sqrt{5}}
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

the exact answer is 1.98

if we rationalize denominator we get root 0f 10 times pi divided by 5

root of 10 is about 3.1 (\pi) so we have \frac{\pi  ^{2} }{5} ≈ 9.6/5 = 1.92

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{\sqrt{2\pi }}{\sqrt{5}} * \frac{\sqrt{5 }}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{\sqrt{10} \pi }{5}

An arithmetic sequence has this recursive formula: What is the explicit formula for this sequence? A. an = (–1) + (n – 7)(–4)
tresset_1 [31]

bearing in mind that an explicit form is simply the sequence written as a function of some variables, so we simply simplify and add like-terms.

\bf a_n=(-1)+(n-7)(-4)\implies a_n=-1+(-4n+28)\implies a_n=27-4n
