3 men

4 women

7 total

3 men/ 7 total = 198 men/ x total

using cross products

3*x = 7 * 198

divide each side by 3

x = 7*198/3

x = 462

There are 462 workers

If you mean 3 men and 1 women for a total of 4 workers when you state a ratio of men and women in a certain factory is 3 to 4.

3/4 =198/x

Using cross products

3x = 4* 198

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 4*198/3

x =264

264 workers

It all depends on how you define ratio of men and women in a certain factory is 3 to 4. This is incorrect phrasing and I took it to be men to women. You cannot have a ratio of men and women.

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation x^2-5x+2=0

Nataly [62]

The roots of the equation is x = 4.56 OR x = 0.44

<h3>Quadratic equation</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the roots of the given equation

The given equation is

x² -5x +2 = 0

Using the formula method,

$x =\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

In the given equation,

a = 1, b = -5, c = 2

Putting the values into the formula,

$x =\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(1)(2) } }{2(1)}$

$x =\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-8} }{2}$

$x =\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{17} }{2}$

$x =\frac{5 + \sqrt{17} }{2}$ OR $x =\frac{5 - \sqrt{17} }{2}$

$x =\frac{5 + 4.12}{2}$ OR $x =\frac{5 - 4.12}{2}$

$x =\frac{9.12}{2}$ OR $x =\frac{0.88}{2}$

x = 4.56 OR x = 0.44

Hence, the roots of the equation is x = 4.56 OR x = 0.44

Marissa bought four bottles of water Each bottle of water is 0.95 cents Write an equation with the same product as the total cos

zysi [14]

Answer: Total cost = Cost of each bottle × Number of bottles

Step-by-step explanation: If each bottle of water Marissa bought cost 0.95cents. This means four bottles will cost = 0.95 + 0.95 + 0.95 + 0.95 = 3.80 cents

This can be written simply as 0.95 × 4 = 3.80 cents

Therefore, a general equation for calculating the total cost of bottle water will be;

Total cost = Cost of each bottle × Number of bottles.
