\bf \begin{cases}
I=\textit{Inessa's tomatoes amount}\\
R=\textit{Ralph's tomatoes amount}
\end{cases}~\hspace{4em}
\stackrel{\textit{their ratio is 5:6}}{\cfrac{I}{R}=\cfrac{5}{6}}\implies I=\cfrac{5R}{6}
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{half of Inessa's tomatoes}}{\cfrac{5R}{6}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{5R}{12}}~\hspace{4em}\stackrel{\textit{Ralph gets Inessa's half}}{R+\cfrac{5R}{12}}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{Ralph's new amount}}{850}


\bf ~\dotfill\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by the }\stackrel{LCD}{12}}{12\left( R+\cfrac{5R}{12} \right)=12(850)}\implies 12R+5R=10200
\\\\\\
17R=10200\implies R=\cfrac{10200}{17}\implies \boxed{R=600}


if you wonder why we multiplied by the LCD, is just to do away with the denominators.

A brick layer is able to set 2.5 breaks in one minute how many bricks can you set an eight hours
frozen [14]

Answer:

<h2> In 8 hours he will set 1200 bricks</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are expected to estimate the number of bricks he can set in 8 hours.

let us convert hours to minutes we have

60 min make 1 hour

x min make 8 hours

cross multiply

x= 60*8

x= 480 min

We are assuming the same rate with which he sets 2.5 brick is the same as the rate with which he will set bricks for the 8 hours windows

so if the bricklayer sets

2.5 bricks in 1min

y bricks in 480 min

Cross multiply we have

y=2.5*480

y= 1200  bricks

hence in 8 hours, he will set 1200 bricks

The table below shows the typical hours worked by employees at a company. A salaried employee makes $67,000 per year. Hourly emp
nadezda [96]
First, we must calculate the weekly pay of an employee that is paid a fixed amount. Given that there are 52 weeks in a year, the weekly pay for a regularly paid employee is: 67,000 / 52 = $1,288.46 Now, we calculate the number of hours an employee that is paid hourly works per week: 0 + 10 + 8 + 8 + 7 + 6.5 + 4.5 = 44 So this employee is paid: 25 x 40 + 37.5 x 4 = $1,150 Therefore, it is recommended that a new employee goes for the salaried pay since the weekly earnings are greater in this option. The answer is C<span>.</span>

Factor f(x) = 4x3 + 15x2 – 24x + 5 into linear factors given that - 5 is a zero of f(x).15f(x) = 4x3 + 15x2 - 24x + 5 =(Factor c
Basile [38]

If x=-5 is a zero, then the first factor of the polynomial would be (x + 5 )

To find the other two factors we can divide the polynomial by the expression (x+5).

Using synthetic division, we have:

-5 I 4 15 -24 5 (Coefficients of the dividend)

I -20 25 -5 (Multiplying each coefficient by the results of the substraction and adding)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4 -5 1 0 (Coefficients of the quotient)

The result of the division is 4x^2 - 5x + 1. Factoring it, we have:

4x^2 - 4x -x + 1 (Separating -5x into -x and -4x)

4x (x - 1) - (x -1) (Factoring each pair of terms)

(x-1)(4x-1) (Factoring using the common factor)

So the answer would be:

(x + 5 )(x-1)(4x-1)
