Answer:

12 trips will be needed to carry 14 cords of the wood.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use unitary method to solve this problem.

∵ Pick up truck carry $\frac{7}{6}$ cord of firewood in trip = 1

∴ Pick up truck will carry 1 cord of firewood in the trips = $\frac{1}{\frac{7}{6}}$ tips

= $\frac{6}{7}$ trips

∴ Truck will carry 14 cords of firewood in the trips = $\frac{14\times 6}{7}$

= 12 trips.

Therefore, 12 trips will be needed to carry 14 cords of the wood.

A table saw is on clearance for 20% off. If the sale price of the table saw is $380, what was the original price? Justify your s

Nikolay [14]

20% off means it is selling for 80% of the original price ( 100% - 20% =80%)

Divide the sale price by 80% as a decimal:

380/0.80 = 475

The original price was $475

Justify:

Multiply the original price by 20% and subtract:

475 x 0.20 = 95

475-95 = $380 which is the sale price.

The 4th and 8th term of a G.P. are 24 and 8/27 respectively. find the 1st term and common ratio

beks73 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric progression is

• $a_{n}$ = a₁ $r^{n-1}$

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

given a₄ = 24, then

a₁ $r^{3}$ = 24 → (1)

Given a₈ = $\frac{8}{27}$ , then

a₁ $r^{7}$ = $\frac{8}{27}$ → (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

$r^{4}$ = $\frac{\frac{8}{27} }{24}$ = $\frac{1}{81}$

Hence r = $\sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{81} }$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

Substitute this value into (1)

a₁ × ( $\frac{1}{3}$ )³ = 24

a₁ × $\frac{1}{27}$ = 24, hence

a₁ = 24 × 27 = 648

Chris is behind in 9 classes of school he has a total time of 25 days to make up 75 hours and 4 minutes worth of late work how m

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the 4 mins into hours by dividing by 60;

4/60 =0.067

Add 0.067 to 75 hrs to get the total = 75+0.067 = 75.067

Therefore the total time Chris needs to make up for is 75.067 hrs

Total number of days Chris has = 25

Next,

IF in 25 days = he can cover 75.067hrs

then in 1 day he will cover = (1 * 75.067)/ 25

= 3.002

Therefore, Chris needs to do 3hrs each day to be able to complete the deadline
