Answer: There are 60 potatoes in a bucket.

We arrive at the answer as follows:

Let 't' be the total amount of time, in minutes, taken by the worker to bake pies and peel a bucket of potatoes.

Let 'x' be the number of potatoes in a bucket.

So, total time taken by the worker on Monday can be expressed as:

t = (2*60) + 1.5x

The total time taken on Tuesday is:

t = (2.5*60) + 1x

Since the total time spent by the worker on these two activities on Monday and Tuesday are equal, we can equate the two equations and rewrite them as follows:

(2.5*60) + 1x = (2*60) + 1.5x

150 + 1x = 120 + 1.5x

150 - 120 = 1.5x - 1x

30 = 0.5x

30 = 0.5x

x = 60

Answer:

60 potatoes.

Explanation:

It is a simple mathematical question in which we find the value of x(potatoes) by equating two scenarios and then finding the value.

The calculations are as follows:

1st scenario:

time t to make pies and peel potatoes on Monday = (2*60) + 1.5x

2nd scenario:

time t to make pies and peel potatoes on Tuesday = (2.5*60) + 1x

Now writing these equations as below:

(2*60) + 1.5x = (2.5*60) + 1x

120 + 1.5x = 150 + 1x

1.5x - 1x = 150-120

0.5x=30

x=30/0.5

x=60.

Answer:

Buy

Explanation:

First, we need to find out what is the cost incurred by the company in building the power station and after that, we will compare that cost with the selling price of the power from Tri-county G&T. the lower-priced option will be considered as best option.

Cost incurred by the company in building the power station = $10,000,000 + (150,000 x $35)

Cost incurred by the company in building the power station = $10,000,000 + $5,250,000

Cost incurred by the company in building the power station = $15,250,000

Selling price of the power from Tri-county G&T = 150,000 x $75

Selling price of the power from Tri-county G&T = 11,250,000

Decision: It would be a wise option for the company to buy it. From buying the power the company will save $4m.

vredina [299]

Answer:

1. Supervisors fit in the middle level of the organization pyramid.

2. A major trend that is changing the role of the supervisor at that level is the concepts of mentoring, coaching, and staff training.  The supervisor's role is expanding to include these activities that will ensure process improvement, enforce adherence to organization's rules, and enable improved cross-functional relationships.

Explanation:

Primarily, supervisors are known to motivate employees, direct the activities of others, select the most effective communication channel, and resolve conflicts among team members.  However, the changing trend now views the supervisor as an educator, sponsor, coach, counselor, and director.  Therefore, the supervisor is expected to deplore all his skill-sets, including effective communication in combination with daily conflict resolution, transformational leadership, critical thinking, interpersonal relationship, time and priority management, and problem-solving skills.
