The amount a gardener gets paid is directly proportional to the number of hours it takes for him to complete the job.

Answer:

  £105

Step-by-step explanation:

The pay is proportional to the time, so working 18/12 = 3/2 times as long will gain the gardener 3/2 times the pay:

  3/2 × £70 = £105

He would get paid £105 for an 18-hour job.

__

Here are a couple of other solution methods.

<h3>as a proportion</h3>

  pay/hours = ?/(18 hours) = £70/(12 hours)

Multiplying by 18 hours, we get ...

  ? = £70×(18 hours)/(12 hours) = £70×(18/12)

  ? = £105 . . . . pay for 18 hours

He would get paid £105 for 18 hours.

__

<h3>as direct proportion equation</h3>

The equation for a directly proportional relationship is ...

  y = kx

If we let y represent pay and x represent hours, then we have ...

  70 = k(12)   ⇒   k = 70/12 = 35/6

Then for 18 hours, the pay is ...

  y = (35/6)x

  y = (35/6)(18) = 35(3) = 105

He would get paid £105 for 18 hours.

WARRIOR [948]

Sherman wants to spend on each pet, so we are assuming he wants to spend the same amount. He has 5 pets in all (3 cats, 2 dogs)

Divide 22 with 5

22/5 = 4.4

He can spend $4.40, or in fraction form:

4 4/10 (Mixed fraction)

Tank 1 initially contains 50 gals of water with 10 oz of salt in it, while tank 2 initially contains 20 gals of water with 15 oz
Naddik [55]
\dfrac{\mathrm dx_1}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{2\text{ oz}}{1\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}-\dfrac{x_1(t)\text{ oz}}{50\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}
\dfrac{\mathrm dx_2}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{x_1(t)\text{ oz}}{50\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}-\dfrac{x_2(t)\text{ oz}}{20\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}

\implies\begin{cases}\dfrac{\mathrm dx_1}{\mathrm dt}=10-\dfrac1{10}x_1\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm dx_2}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac1{10}x_1-\dfrac14x_2\\\\x_1(0)=10\\\\x_2(0)=15\end{cases}
