A hotel calculates that 16% of its customers will come back to stay again. Out of 850 people the hotel predicts 102 will come ba

Aloiza [94]

Calculate 16% of 850.

The way I do this is by breaking it up into smaller pieces.

First I would find 10% of 850. To do this I need to divide 850 by 10, as 100%/10 gives us 10%, which is what we need.

So 10% = 85

Then we need 5%, which is half of 10%, therefore half of 85,

So 5% = 42.5

Then we need 1% which is 10%/10, so 85/10.

So 1% = 8.5

Then we add all these together to get 16%.

So 16% = 136

They predict that 102 people will come back, which is less than the 16% that should come back to stay again, so their prediction is too low.

A 210-N mass is suspended from a horizontal beam by two cables that make angles of 29 degrees and 53 degrees with the beam. Find

natta225 [31]

The tension in the cable is given by the newton's first law will be 163.622 N.

<h3>What is newton's first law?</h3>

The summation of the force is equal to zero.

The formula is given as

ΣF = 0

Where m is the mass of the body and a is the acceleration.

A 210-N mass is suspended from a horizontal beam by two cables that make angles of 29 degrees and 53 degrees with the beam.

Then the tension in the cable will be

Let T be the tension in the cable.

T sin 29° + T sin 53° – 210 = 0

On simplifying, we have

T (sin 29° + sin 53°) = 210

T = 163.622 N

Waldo works eight hours and produces 7 units of goods per hour. Emerson works six hours and produces 10 units of goods per hour.

Phoenix [80]

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

In case of Waldo:

Number of hours they work = 8

Number of units per hour = 7 units

So, Output would be

$8\times 7\\\\=56\ units$

In case of Emerson:

Number of hours they work = 6 hours

Number of units per work = 10 units

So,Output would be

$10\times 6=60\ units$

Hence, Emerson’s productivity and output are greater than Waldo’s.

Therefore, Option 'c' is correct.
