It takes 8 hours for 4 men to paint a room.

Mathematics

Answer:

16 men would be needed to paint the room in 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportion to solve the problem given, but first we need to determine whether it is a direct or indirect proportion.

If the number of men are increase, the time taken to do the work will decrease, If the number of men are decrease, the time taken to do the work will increase. Therefore, this is an indirect proportion.

We are going to arrange the data inversely.

Let x be the number of men needed to paint the room in two hours

8 hours =  2 hours

    x        = 4 men

Cross-multiply

2×x = 8×4

2x = 32

Divide both-side of the equation by 2

2x/2 = 32/2

x = 16 men

16 men would be needed to paint the room in 2 hours

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: \frac{7}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sample space is ={HHH,THH,HTH,HHT,TTH,THT,HTT,TTT}

There are 8 element in sample space which indicates the outcome of tossing a coin three times

Probability of obtaining at least one head=1-P(\text{0 head})

P(\text{0 head})=P(\text{All tails})

P=1-\frac{1}{8}

P=\frac{7}{8}

Attached geometry question. Please help. 100 points, will mark branliest.
-BARSIC- [3]

\large{\rm{\underline{\underline{Answer:}}}}

Since ∆AFB is similar to ∆ABC.

  • < F = < B (corresponding angle)
  • < G = < C (corresponding angle)
  • < A = common.

<u>In </u><u>∆</u><u>A</u><u>BC,</u>

⇛< A + < B + < C = 180°

⇛37° + 65° + < C = 180°

⇛102° + < C = 180°

⇛< C = 78°

We know that, < AGF / < G = < C

So, Measure of angle < AGF = <u>7</u><u>8</u><u>°</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>ans)</u>
