You are building a scale model of a fishing boat. The boat is 62 ft long and 23 ft wide. The
Temka [501]

The wide of the model should be approximately 5.194 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You are building a scale model of a fishing boat

  • The boat is 62 ft long
  • The boat is 23 ft wide
  • The model will be 14 in long

We need to find how wide should it be

∵ The boat is 62 feet long

∵ The model of the boat is 14 inches long

- That means 14 inches represents 62 feet

By using the ratio method

→ Actual (ft)    :    Model (in)

→ 62               :    14

→ 23               :     x

By using cross multiplication

∵ 62 × x = 23 × 14

∴ 62 x = 322

- Divide both sides by 62 to find x

∴ x ≅ 5.194

∵ x represents the wide of the model

∴ The wide of the model is approximately 5.194 inches

The wide of the model should be approximately 5.194 inches

To complete a task in 15 days, a company has 4 people each working 8 hours a day. The company
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Let's suppose that each person works at an hourly rate R.

Then if 4 people working 8 hours per day, a total of 15 days to complete the task, we can write this as:

4*R*(15*8 hours) = 1 task.

Whit this we can find the value of R.

R = 1 task/(4*15*8 h) = (1/480) task/hour.

a) Now suppose that we have 5 workers, and each one of them works 6 hours per day for a total of D days to complete the task, then we have the equation:

5*( (1/480) task/hour)*(D*6 hours) = 1 task.

We only need to isolate D, that is the number of days that will take the 5 workers to complete the task:

D = (1 task)/(5*6h*1/480 task/hour) = (1 task)/(30/480 taks) = 480/30 = 16

D = 16

Then the 5 workers working 6 hours per day, need 16 days to complete the job.

b) The assumption is that all workers work at the same rate R. If this was not the case (and each one worked at a different rate) we couldn't find the rate at which each worker completes the task (because we had not enough information), and then we would be incapable of completing the question.

artcher [175]

Answer:

There are 15 combinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

A restaurant is offering a dinner special that includes one starter and one entree.

Starter: bread-sticks, soup, salad

Entree: beef, fish, chicken, shrimp, pork

So, we have 3 starters and 5 entrees.

To know the possible dinner special combinations we will simply multiply the two.

3\times5=15

Therefore, there are 15 combinations.

Parker reviews his homework before he turns it in. When he sees the equation 1.02 divided by 0.6= 0.17, he knows it is wrong. He
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The result of the division of a number by a fraction is larger than the fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,we note that value Parker divided by 0.6. =1.02

Written down result of the division = 1.02/0.6 = 0.17

However, since the numerator is 1.02, then the result of dividing it by a fraction should yield a higher number instead of 0.17

Therefore we check as follows

1.02/0.6 = 1.7

The error is apparently due to dividing 1.02 by 6 rather than 0.6
