<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

There are 3900 workers in the three main buildings downtown. Twice as many people work in the largest building as in the smallest of the three. There are 500 more workers in the second-largest building than in the smallest building. How many workers are in each building?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

There are 850 workers in smallest building and 1700 workers in largest building and 1350 workers in second largest building

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let "b" be the number of workers in smallest building

Given that Twice as many people work in the largest building as in the smallest of the three

number of workers in largest building = 2b

Given that There are 500 more workers in the second-largest building than in the smallest building

Number of workers in second largest building = 500 + b

Given that there are 3900 workers in 3 buildings

b + 2b + 500 + b = 3900

4b + 500 = 3900

4b = 3900 - 500

4b = 3400

b = 850

Thus there are 850 workers in smallest building

workers in largest building = 2b = 2(850) = 1700

workers in second largest building = 500 + b = 500 + 850 = 1350

Thus there are 850 workers in smallest building and 1700 workers in largest building and 1350 workers in second largest building

We will use the equation 74.06-56.48=? To find the change in prices, aka how much more money was spent. That equals 17.58. So A, Michael spent $17.58 more than Denise.

A sculpture of a clothespin is 20 feet high. A normal clothespin of this shape is five inches high. Using this scale, how many f
kodGreya [7K]
This is the concept of scale factor. The linear scale factor is given by:
(height of sculpture)/(height of clothespin)
=20/(5/12)
=48
Given that a woman is 5ft 7 in, the sculpture of this woman would be:
height of sculpture=(scale factor)*(height of the woman)
height of the woman=5 ft 7 inches=5 7/12 ft=67/12 ft
hence the height of the sculpture will be:
67/12×48
=268 ft

Answer: 268 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You graphs look fine.  The only thing I can think of without seeing the question itself, its that perhaps the teacher wants them on the same graph?
