Answer:

1999 moves are required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is - In solving a jigsaw puzzle, a move consists of joining two clusters, including clusters of just one piece.

This means exactly n-1 moves are required to solve a jigsaw puzzle with n pieces.

Here, n = 2000

So, moves will be = 2000-1=1999

Hence. 1999 moves are needed to solve the puzzle.

Solution: As always, try to find a way of looking at the problem that makes the solution simple. In this problem, regardless of the current state of the puzzle, a move consists of combining two clusters into a single cluster. Therefore every move reduces the number of clusters by 1. Since we begin with 2000 clusters (the single pieces) and end with 1 cluster, we need \[2000-1=\boxed{1999}\] moves to complete the puzzle.

9. Triangle Construction pays Square Insurance $5,980
xxTIMURxx [149]

The triangle pay $32 more for that day than it paid per day during the first period of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

              Triangle Construction pays Square Insurance $5,980

               To insure a construction site for 92 days

               To extend the  insurance beyond the 92 days costs $97 per day

               Triangle extends the insurance by 1 day

Step:1

              Insurance per day from the 92 days period,

                                                                           = \frac{Total insuratio for 92 days}{Period}

               Where, Total insurance for 92 days = $ 5,980

                                                               Period = 92 days

               From the values, equation becomes,

                                                                            =\frac{5980}{92}

                                                                           = $ 65 per day

Step:2

              Insurance per day after the 92 days,

                                                                           = $ 97

               Amount Pay for that day than it paid per day during the first period of time,

                                                                            =(97-65)

                                                                           = $32

Result:

             The triangle pay $32 more for that day than it paid per day during the first period of time, if  the Triangle Construction pays Square Insurance $5,980 to insure a construction site for 92 days and to extend the  insurance beyond the 92 days costs $97 per day.
