What is the difference between the greatest amount and least amount of gasoline used to mow lawns?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer:
The difference is 4/8 which is equivalent to 1/2

Explanation:
The given values of gasoline amounts are as follows:
1/8 , 2/8 , 3/8 , 4/8 , 5/8

Since all the values have the same denominator, therefore, we can base our comparison on the numerator. The larger the numerator, the larger the value of the fraction.

Based on this, we can note that:
the least amount of gasoline is 1/8
the greatest amount of gasoline is 5/8

The difference between the two can be computed as follows:
difference = greatest amount - least amount
difference = 5/8 - 1/8
difference = 4/8 which can be simplified to give 1/2

Hope this helps :)

Why is the number of operators per shift multiplied by approximately 4.5 to obtain the total number of operators required to run

I believe you meant "why is the number of shifts multiplied by approximately 4.5 to obtain the total number of operators required to run the plant"

Answer and Explanation:

There are 3 shifts per day, 49 weeks per year and 5 shifts per operator per week

To get total number of operators required to run the plant, we multiply number of shifts in a year by number if operators per shift.
