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.

Answer:

{0, 1, 16, 81}

Step-by-step explanation:

If the domain of this function is the set {0, 1, 4, 9}, we find the set representing the range by evaluating the function at each of the four values in the domain.

f(0) = 0

f(1) = 1

f(4) = 16

f(9) = 81

and so the range is the set {0, 1, 16, 81}.

There are 28 total students in Mr. Flynn’s class. The ratio of his students who are in the play to those who are not in the play
PolarNik [594]
First, you calculate the total amount of parts : 2 + 5 = 7
Next, divide the number by the total amount of parts : 28 ÷ 7 = 4
After that, you multiply the answer by the amount of parts needed on both sides of the ratio : 4 × 2 = 8 and 4 × 5 = 20
Finally put these answers back into the ratio : 8:20
So there are 8 students in the play

To check, make sure both sides of the ratio add up to the original number : 8 + 20 = 28

Answer:

Step 2 has error and step 4 has error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can see that elimination method is  applied to solve the  system  of equations  for which -2 is multiplied both sides of equation first

-2(x+2y)=-2(10 which is correct

but in step 2

left side is -2x-4y and the right side is -10 which has to be -20 which makes this step wrong and this is the error made by student.

in Step 4 also ,value of the y has to be 5 but student plugged y =1 which is also error by student.

Correct solution is

   -2x-4y= -20

     2x+ 5y= 15

on adding ,we get

y = -5

plugging y =5 in equation x+2y= 10 ,we get x+2(-5) =10 ,we get x = 20

therefore (20,-5) is the  solution
