Mathematics

Answer:

The correct answer is 10 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

To fill a trench, 5 men work for 6 hours a day for eight days.

Total work hours required is given by 5 × 6 × 8 = 240 hours.

The same work is supposed to be done by 3 men working 8 hours a day.

Let these three men need to work for x days.

Therefore total work hour these group of three men gave = 3 × 8 × x = 24x hours

Therefore the work hour of both the group of 5 men and 3 men should be equal.

⇒ 24x = 240

⇒ x = 10

Therefore the group of 3 men have to work for 10 days to fill the trench.

Ket [755]

Answer:

\sf 2 \frac14 \ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the amounts together:

\sf \implies \dfrac24+1+\dfrac34

Convert the whole number 1 into a fraction with denominator 4:

\sf \implies \dfrac24+\dfrac44+\dfrac34

As all the denominators are the same, we can simply add the numerators:

\sf \implies \dfrac{2+4+3}4

\sf \implies \dfrac94

Finally, convert the improper fraction into a mixed number:

\sf \implies 2 \frac14 \ cups

A. Find a power function that models the data below.
zalisa [80]

Using Visual inspection, the model which fits the data in the distribution better is the power function.

The power and linear functions can of the data can both be modeled using technology,

<u>Using Technology</u> :

The power function in the form y = Ax^{B} which models the data is 1.926x^{1.662}

The linear function in the form y = Bx + A which models the data is y = 7.429x - 8.333

  • Where A = intercept and B = slope

  • From the model, correlation coefficient given by the power and linear models are 0.999 and 0.986 respectively.

  • Hence, the power model is a better fit for the data than the linear model.

Therefore, Inspecting the models visually, the power function fits the data better as the points on the curve are closer to the regression line than on the linear model.
