If it took eight men ten hours to build a wall, how many hours would it take four men to build it?

2 answers:

8 0

8 men= 10hours
Now,
4men= ? hours

Since there are lesser number of men, the amount of time needed will be greater.. Thus, you need to multiply the amount of hours by 2! If you are thinking why, look at the following steps
8/2=4 (men)
10 x 2= 20(time)

Thus the answer is 20

Hope this helped :))

Two hours bc if it takes 8 to do it in one hour and u split the number of men u have in half you double the work hours 8men=1hour of work 4men=2hours of work
Hope this helps have a nice day

Recall the binomial theorem.

$(a+b)^n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^n \binom nk a^{n-k} b^k$

1. The binomial expansion of $\left(1+\frac x3\right)^7$ is

$\left(1 + \dfrac x3\right)^7 = \displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^7 \binom 7k 1^{7-k} \left(\frac x3\right)^k = \sum_{k=0}^7 \binom 7k \frac{x^k}{3^k}$

Observe that

$k = 1 \implies \dbinom 71 \left(\dfrac x3\right)^1 = \dfrac73 x$

$k = 2 \implies \dbinom 72 \left(\dfrac x3\right)^2 = \dfrac73 x^2$

When we multiply these by $8-9x$ ,

• $8$ and $\frac73 x^2$ combine to make $\frac{56}3 x^2$

• $-9x$ and $\frac73 x$ combine to make $-\frac{63}3 x^2 = -21x^2$

and the sum of these terms is

$\dfrac{56}3 x^2 - 21x^2 = \boxed{-\dfrac73 x^2}$

2. The binomial expansion is

$\left(2a - \dfrac b2\right)^8 = \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^8 \binom 8k (2a)^{8-k} \left(-\frac b2\right)^k = \sum_{k=0}^8 \binom 8k 2^{8-2k} a^{8-k} b^k$
