You gotta combine like terms which would be 9x and 12x which gives you 21x .
Answer:
The number is -100, Jill can think of something else, now.
Step-by-step explanation:
x = the number
x/4 - 20 = -45 {twenty less than one-fourth of the number is -45}
x/4 = -25 {added 20 to each side}
x = -100 {multiplied each side by 4}
Answer:
First statement: 10 road workers take 5 days to complete a work, working 2 hours a day.
Let us calculate how many days 2 workers will need, if they were to work at the same pace (i.e. each working 2 hours a day). The workforce is now decreased to 2 divided by 10 = 1/5 (i.e. one-fifth).
Therefore proportionately, the time will increase to 5 days divided by 1/5, (i.e. 5 / (1/5) = 25 days.
We now know that 2 workers will need 25 days to finish the work, if they work for 2 hors a day.
Now the question is what will happen if the two people work 5 hours per day, instead of 2 hours per day?
The labor they put in has increased to 5 divided by 2 = 2.5 (i.e. 2 and half times).
Consequently, the time needed to finish the work will decrease to 25 divided by 2.5 (i.e. ( 25 / 2.5 ) = 10. days.
The answer : 10 Days.
Answer:
6 1/2 cubic feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A carton has a length of 2 1/6 feet
The width is 1 1/5 feet
The height is 2 1/2 feet
Therefore the volume of the carton can be calculated as follows
= length × width × height
= 2 1/6 × 1 1/5 × 2 1/2
= 13/6 × 6/5 × 5/2
= 390/60
= 13/2
= 6 1/2 cubic feet
Hence the volume of the carton is 6 1/2 cubic feet
