Answer:

I think the assumption is that 6 men would take longer to build the same bridge

so 16 days is how long it would take 6 men

Step-by-step explanation:

I thought this because if it takes 8 men twelve days it's gonna probably take six men 16 days

12/8 = x/6

hope this helps

\bf \stackrel{\textit{since we know that}}{b=3+a}\implies b=3+\cfrac{6}{5}\implies b=\cfrac{21}{5}\implies b=4\frac{1}{5}\implies \blacktriangleright b=4.2 \blacktriangleleft

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

1.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving our equation

r = 10.2 / ( 425 × 2 ) = 0.012

r = 0.012

converting r decimal to a percentage

R = 0.012 * 100 = 1.2%/year

The interest rate required to

accumulate simple interest of $ 10.20

from a principal of $ 425.00

over 2 years is 1.2% per year.

Find the exact value, without a
Ghella [55]

Answer:

√(2 + √3)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sine 5π/12 = Sine (5π/6)/2

Recall

π = 180°

Thus,

Sine (5π/6)/2 = Sine (5×180 /6)/2

= Sine 150/2

Recall

Sine θ/2 = √(1 – Cos θ)/2

Thus,

Sine 150/2 = √(1 – Cos 150)/2

But, Cosine is negative in the 2nd quadrant. Thus,

Cos 150 = – Cos 30 = –√3/2

Thus,

√(1 – Cos 150)/2 = √(1 – –√3/2 )/2

= √(1 + √3/2 )/2

= √[(2 + √3)/2 ÷ 2]

= √[(2 + √3)/2 × 1/2]

= √(2 + √3)/4

Therefore,

Sine 5π/12 = √(2 + √3)/4
