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.
Answer:
6x * 1/2 - 3 (* means multiplying)
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, you are using communitive property and so you are just changing the problem to an equal situation.
To find the answer,we can picture how much the above value is by objects in real life.
2mL = about two drops of water
200mL = about a carton of milk/ a box of ornage juice
2L = 2000 × 10 mL = 20000 mL = The bottle of drinks that are in family/party size.
As we only take in small dosages of medicine, the best option would be 2mL.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
Proved
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to pose c as the largest side in a random triangle
If so then remember that, by the triangle inequality, a + b > c. Let's start from there...
Statement: | Reasoning:
1. a + b > c 1. Triangle Inequality
2. a + b + c > c + c (adding c on both sides), 2. Algebra + Def. Of Perimeter
a + b + c > 2c (simplified)
Perimeter > 2c (definition of perimeter)
c < 1/2 * Perimeter
