The ratio of men to women in a certain factory is 3 to 4. There is 210 men

1 answer:

5 0

3 to 4.....added = 7

3/7x = 210....3/7 of all factory workers (x) are men...and men = 210
x = 210 * 7/3
x = 1470/3 = 490...so there is 490 factory workers

4/7(490) = 1960/7 = 280...and there are 280 women....because 4/7 of all factory workers are women

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is one hundred fifty-nine

xeze [42]

First remember that sum means to add. now think about the equation. we need to find 3 numbers that equal 159 when added together. And they are all consecutive odd numbers. so let's call the first number X. the second number would be X+2 since we have to jump over 1 even number. The third number would be X+4 since we have to jump over 2 even numbers. so now an equation to represent this would be X+(X+2)+(X+4)=159. Add like terms, and remember order of operations. if you need help getting the answers leave me a comment.

Devon purchased a new car valued at $16,000 that depreciated continuously at a rate of 35%. Its current value is $2,000. The equ

I hope the equation will be 2000=16000(1-r)^t because t is missing in the equation which we need to find.

Given rate: r= 35%= 0.35.

So, first step is to plug in 0.35 for r in the given formula to get the value of t.

Hence, the equation will be:

2000=16000(1-0.35)^t

2000=16000(0.65)^t (By subtraction)

2000/16000= 16000(0.65)^t /16000 (Dividing each sides by 16000)

0.125 = 0.65^t (By simplifying).
