so two fellows did all the carpeting in 10 days.

now, how long did "1" fellow work only?  well, it worked for 10 days.

how long did the other fellow work for?  well, it was working alongside the first one, and it was there for also 10 days.

so the two guys working together, really did 10+10 = 20 "days worth of work".  So that the whole carpeting job can be done in 20 "days worth of work".

now if we want to finish it in 4 days, 20 ÷ 4 = 5.

so if we hire 5 guys, since each one will do 4 days worth, 5*4 = 20 <- the whole job.

Answer:

5 worker

Step-by-step explanation:

Two men complete carpeting = 10 days

Total time taken to complete the work= Number of men× Number of days

Total time taken to complete the work= 2×10

Total time taken to complete the work= 20

Let x number of men complete the work in 4 days

According to question

4×x= 20

x= 20÷4

x=5 men

Number of 5 worker are required to complete the work in 4 days

Which table contains ordered pairs that lie on the graph of the equation -2x + 4y = 16?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out which pairs lie on -2x+4y = 16, we can plug the x and y values into the equation to see if they work. We need all pairs of x and y values in a table to work for the answer to be correct

A)

x=-4, y=2

-2x+4y = -2 * (-4) + 4 * (2) = 8 + 8 = 16. This works. Note that two negatives multiplied together make a positive, and 4*2 = 8

x=0, y=8

-2x + 4y = -2 * (0) + 4 * (8) = 0 + 32 = 32. This does not work, as 32 is not 16. Note that anything multiplied by 0 is 0

B)

x=8, y=0

-2x+4y = -2 * (8) + 4 * (0) = -16. This is not equal to 16. Note that a negative multiplied by a positive is still a negative

x=2, y=3

-2x + 4y = -2 * (2) + 4 * (3) = -4 + 12 = 8. This is not equal to 16.

C)

x=0, y=4

-2x + 4y = -2 * (0) + 4 * (4) = 0 + 16 = 16. This works

x=4, y=6

-2x + 4y = (-2)* (4) + 4 * (6) = -8 + 24 = 16. This works. As both pairs of values in the table works, this is the correct answer. Nevertheless, we can check D to make sure.

D)

x=-2, y=5

-2x+4y = -2 * (-2) + 4 * (5) = 4 + 20 = 24. This is not 16

x=-8, y=0

-2x+4y = -2 * (-8) + 4 *  (0) = 16. This works, but the other pair does not work, so D is incorrect
