Answer: the person will wear it for 7.5 hours on the 10th day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The person wears them for 3 hours on the 1st day and for 1/2 hour longer on each succeeding day. This means that the number of hours is increasing in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + d(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 3 hours

d = 0.5 hour

n = 10

We want to determine the value of the 10th term, T10. Therefore,

T10 = 3 + 0.5(10 - 1)

T10 = 3 + (0.5 × 9)

T10 = 7.5 hours

prohojiy [21]

As in each table can seat 8 people and the probability you need to find is about the first person you can ignore this data.

Probability that the first person to enter the room will be randomly seated at a maple table:

P(maple)=\frac{#maple\text{ }tables}{#total\text{ }tables}

#maple tables: 9

# total tables: 9 +10 +5 +7=31

P(maple)=\frac{9}{31}Then, the probability that the first person to enter the room will be randomly seated at a maple table is 9/31

Luke and Joshua work at a dry cleaners ironing shirts. Luke can iron 35 shirts per
aniked [119]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours worked by Joshua.

Shirts ironed by Joshua in an hour = 25

Number of shirts ironed by Joshua in x hours = 25x

The number of hours worked by Luke = (x + 3)hours

Shirts ironed by Luke in an hour = 35

No. of shirts ironed by Luke in x hours = 35*(x + 3) = 35x+35*3 = 35x + 105

No. of shirts ironed by Luke and Joshua = 345

25x + 35x +105 = 345

60x = 345 - 105

60x = 240

x = 240/60

x = 4 hours

The number of hours worked by Joshua = 4 hours

The number of hours worked by Luke = 4 +3 = 7 hours

USPshnik [31]
My answer is 82. I added up 90 + 80 + 75 = 245. I then divided that by 3 because there are 3 different cultures. And the number was 81. something. So, I rounded and got 82. But I'm not sure if that's the right answer.
