Hey there! This problem seems tricky, but once we figure out how to solve, it becomes much more simple.

It looks like we have two conversions here:

Centimeters to Inches

Days to Hours


To convert them, we need to know their conversion rate, or in other words, how many centimeters are in an inch and how many hours are in a day.

2.54 cm. = 1 in.

1 day = 24 hours


Now that we have these in mind, all we need to do is a bit of division.

We will start with the expression "91 ÷ 24." This will break up our 91 centimeters into 24 hours, giving us the number of centimeters per hour. We use the "curvy equal sign" to show an approximate value.

91 ÷ 24 ≈ 3.7917

But wait! We aren't quite done yet. That expression only represents the number of centimeters per hour. Our question asks us for the inches per hour. Therefore, we need to do another expression.

If we use the expression "3.7917 ÷ 2.54," we will almost get an exact value. Keep in mind that the "2.54" represents how many centimeters are in an inch. Again, the "curvy equal sign" represents an approximate value.

3.7917 ÷ 2.54 ≈ 1.49


Using the logic above, we can say that the bamboo grows about 1.49 inches per hour.

Which of the following companies offers the greatest total employment compensation? Company A Gross pay $38,200 Insurance $3,500
spayn [35]

Answer:

Company C offers the greatest total employment compensation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now we calculate the greatest total employment compensation as follows:

Company A :

Gross pay -      $38,200

Insurance -       $3,500

Paid time off -  $4,100

Total compensation = 38,200 + 3,500 + 4,100 = $45,800

Company B :

Gross pay -                         $39,000

Total employee benefit -   20% of 39,000 (0.20 × 3900) = $7,800

Job expenses -                  $700

Total compensation =  39,000 + 7,800 + 700 = $47,500

Company C :

Gross pay -     $39,900

Insurance -      $3,200

paid time off -  $3,900

Job expenses- $1,000

Total compensation = 39,900 + 3,200 + 3,900 + 1,000 = $48,000

Company D:

Gross pay - $39,400

total employee benefits - 18% of 39,400 (0.18 × 39,400) = $7,092

Total compensation = 39,400 + 7,092 = $46,492

Therefore company c offers the greatest total employment compensation.

Determine whether or not F is a conservative vector field. If it is, find a function f such that F = ∇f. (If the vector field is
Elis [28]

In order for <em>F</em> to be conservative, there must be a scalar function <em>f</em> such that the gradient of <em>f</em> is equal to <em>F</em>. This means

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=3x^2-2y^2

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=4xy+4

Integrate both sides of the first equation with respect to <em>x</em> :

f(x,y)=x^3-2xy^2+g(y)

Differentiate both sides with respect to <em>y</em> :

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=-4xy+\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=4xy+4\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dy}=8xy+4

But we assume <em>g</em> is a function of <em>y</em>, which means its derivative can't possibly contain <em>x</em>, so there is no scalar function <em>f</em> whose gradient is <em>F</em>. Therefore <em>F</em> is not conservative.

How do I do this problem?
mixer [17]
This kind of problem is easy and hard as the same times.

First you need to find the common factor then take a square root

384=8*8*6 so the answer is 8n^6n

^ = square root ( sorry. Don't know how to do that on a pothole )

Divide. Write your answer in lowest terms. 3/4 divided by 6/1
Trava [24]
Since dividing fractions are not possible, you must first find the reciprocal of 6/1 which is 1/6. And the equation would be written as 3/4*1/6. Cross cancel the 3 and 6 leaving 1/4*1/2=1/8. Thus, your answer is lowest terms is, 1/8.
