Answer:

It will take 7 workers to do the work in 12 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportion to solve this problem, but first, we need to find out if it is a direct or indirect proportion.

As the number of workers increase the number of hours need to do the work/ the time taken to do the work decreases and as the workers decreases, the time taken to do the work increases, so this is an indirect proportion.

Since its an indirect proportion, the arrangement will be different from that of direct proportion, the values will be arranged such that they will be inverse with each other.

Let x be the number of workers needed to do the job in 12 hours

3 workers    =     x

 12 hours     =  28 hours

Cross- multiply

12 x =  84

Divide both-side of the equation by 12

\frac{12x}{12}  =  \frac{84}{12}

x = 7

It will take 7 workers to do the work in 12 hours.

So, 3 workers are to 28 hours and x is to 12 hours. That can be written as 

 3     28
---     --
x       12
Multiply them to get 94 over 12. 84 divided by 12 is
7.

A large water tank holds 210 liters of water. About how many gallons of water does the same tank hold, if there are approximatel
shusha [124]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion

15 Liters / 4 gallons = 210 Liters / x      Cross Multiply

15x = 4 * 210                                           Combine the right

15x = 840                                                Divide by 15

x = 840 / 15

x = 56 gallons

Find the angle theta in radians.<br> ( PLEASE SHOW STEPS )
yKpoI14uk [10]
Hello!

As you can see, we have a radius of 6. If we divide, this means that this is 2.5 radians. To convert radians to degrees we use the formula below.

\frac{180}{ \pi }x

First of all we divide 180 by pi.

180/\pi≈57.3

Now we multiply by 2.5

57.3(2.5)=143.25°

Note that the angle we see is obtuse, or greater than 90°.

Therefore, ∠<span>θ</span>≈143.25°

Now we need to convert this back into radians. This can be represented by the equation below.

\frac{ \pi }{180}x

First we divide pi by 180 then multiply by our angle.

\pi/180(143.25)≈2.5

Therefore, our angle theta is about 2.5 radians.

I hope this helps!
