Emil starts the day with <u>16 liters</u> of lemonade if he is left with 4 liters by the end of the day. Computed using the fractional values given.

Let the initial quantity of lemonade with Emil be x liters.

Quantity sold by Emil in the morning = Half of his lemonade = (1/2)x liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x - x/2 = x/2 liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil at lunchtime = Quarter of what was left = (1/4)(x/2) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x/2 - x/8 = 3x/8 liters, that is the three-eight fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil in the afternoon = One-third of what was left = (1/3)(3x/8) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = 3x/8 - x/8 = x/4 liters, that is the quarter fraction of x.

Now, we are said that Emil closes for the day with 4 liters remaining.

Therefore, x/4 = 4, or, x = 4*4 = 16 liters.

Therefore, Emil started the day with 16 liters of lemonade.

Mademuasel [1]
Probability is the study of determining the chances of an event being successful or not. To determine the probability of, say, 5 events happening, you would have to add their individual probabilities. For the probability of household having less than 3 televisions, you add the data for 2, 1 and 0 televisions.

Total Probability = 3% + 11% + 28% = 42% (or 0.42 if in decimal form)

A company can send a maximum of 40 workers to complete a
rewona [7]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sake of the problem, let's make female workers "x" and male workers "y".

x+y<40       This equation shows that the total number of workers has a max of 40.

30x+20y<1,000      This equation shows that the total cost the manager pays ($30 to each woman, $20 to each man) has a max of $1,000.  

Now you can solve for x and y.

X+y<40

-y       -y

X<-y+40

Substitute -y+40 in for X in the second equation

30(-y+40)+20y<1,000      

-30y+1200+20y<1,000         Distribute

-10y+1,200<1,000      Combine like terms

-10y<-200                   Subtract 1,200

y>20                Divide by -10; flip the sign

Since y>20, and y=male workers, you now know that the minimum

number of male workers he should send is 20
