Answer: Time = 1.5hours or 1 hour 30minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Carrie can inspect a case of watch in 5 hours

if n represent the task,

Carrie's rate C = n/5

James' rate J = n/3

Their combined rate is=n/5 + n/3 = 8n/15

Carrie After working one hour, he would have completed n/5 of the task.

Therefore, the remaining fraction of task is 4n/5

To complete the remaining fraction of task by the two of them, the time taken can be given as;

Work done = rate × time

Time = workdone/rate

Workdone = amount of task remaining = 4n/5

rate combined= 8n/15

Time = (4n/5)/(8n/15)

Time = 1.5hours or 1 hour 30minutes

Ashely is making $500 a week at her job. She receives a 20% pay raise. A year later she takes a 5% pay cut. How much money does
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

<em>$570 a week</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentage Calculations </u>

One tricky fact about percentages is that they are usually performed over the last computed quantity. It makes them non-additive. For example, a raise of 10% followed by a 10% some time later, is NOT a 20% of total raise

The question states Ashely is making $500 a week at her job and that she receives a 20% pay raise. After that raise she will make

\$500*(1+20/100)=\$500(1.2)=\$600 \text{ a week}

A year later she takes a 5% pay cut. We must be careful to take that percentage from the last earnings. She now makes

\$600(1-5/100)=\$600(0.95)=\$570\ a\ week

Westkost [7]

Answer:

976cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area:

Ara of cross section x 2 = 1/2 x 2 x 14 x 24 = 14 x 24 = 336

Area of base = 14 x 10 = 140

area of slope x 2 = 25 x 10 x 2 = 500

Total surface area = 500+140+336 = 640 + 336 = 973cm^2

HELP!!!! I have never seen this. I will award big brain.​
Jlenok [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles APD, DPC and CPB are supplementary. (Angles on a straight line)

Therefore Angle APD + Angle DPC + Angle CPB = 180°.

Since Angle DPC = 90° (Right angle),

Angle APD + Angle CPB = 180° - 90° = 90°.

=> (7x + 1) + (9x - 7) = 90

=> 16x - 6 = 90

=> x = 6

Hence arc measure of minor arc AD

= (7x + 1)° = [7(6) + 1]° = 43°.
