On Monday, it took 5 builders 3 in a half hours to build a wall.
1 answer:
Answer:
£83.70
Step-by-step explanation:
→ First step is to find the amount of hours it takes for one builder
We know it takes 5 builders hours so 1 builder would take 5 ×
which is
hours so it takes one builder 17.5 hours to builder a wall
→ Now we know how long one work takes we need to find out the time for 2 builders
1 builder = 17.5 hours
2 builders = 17.5 ÷ 2 = 8.75 hours
So 2 builders take 8.75 hours
→ We know that each builder is paid £9.30 for each or part hour they work so
9.30 hourly pay rate × 9 hours work of work = £83.70
Each worker will be paid £83.70

Answer:
The area of the new rectangle is 882 in².
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l be the length and w be the width of the original rectangle,
So, the area of the original rectangle is,
A = l × w ( Area of a rectangle = Length × Width )
Given, A = 72 in²,
⇒ lw = 72 ------- (1),
Since, if the rectangle are changed by a scale factor of 3.5,
⇒ New length = 3.5 l,
And, new width = 3.5 w,
Thus, the area of the new rectangle = 3.5l × 3.5w
( From equation (1) ),
= 882 in²
