Answer:
sqrt(24)
Step-by-step explanation:
The number is slightly less than 5
We know that 5^2 =25
sqrt(25) = 5
so the number has to be less that sqrt(25)
The only number less than sqrt(25) is sqrt(24) and sqrt(20)
sqrt(20) is too far away to be slightly less than 5 so it must be sqrt(24)
Two workers finished a job in 7.5 days.
How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 8 more days to finish the job than the other worker?
let t = time required by one worker to complete the job alone
then
(t+8) = time required by the other worker (shirker)
let the completed job = 1
A typical shared work equation
7.5%2Ft + 7.5%2F%28%28t%2B8%29%29 = 1
multiply by t(t+8), cancel the denominators, and you have
7.5(t+8) + 7.5t = t(t+8)
7.5t + 60 + 7.5t = t^2 + 8t
15t + 60 = t^2 + 8t
form a quadratic equation on the right
0 = t^2 + 8t - 15t - 60
t^2 - 7t - 60 = 0
Factor easily to
(t-12) (t+5) = 0
the positive solution is all we want here
t = 12 days, the first guy working alone
then
the shirker would struggle thru the job in 20 days.
5*3 + 5*4
The 5 must multiply through the parenthesis.
50% of 18 = 9
so buy 1 for 18 and 1 for 9 = 18+9 = 27 for 2 sheets
6/2=3
27 x 3 = 81 for 6 sheets
Answer:
1. We assume, that the number 33.39 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 33.39 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33.39=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33.39=100%
2) x=13%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
33.39/x=100%/13%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 13% of 33.39
33.39/x=100/13
(33.39/x)*x=(100/13)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33.39=7.6923076923077*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6923076923077) to get x
33.39/7.6923076923077=x
4.3407=x
x=4.3407
now we have:
13% of 33.39=4.3407
