Answer:

6 Days

Step-by-step explanation:

Practically:

It takes,

10 Men ( complete ) 5 Copies --> 6 Days

So, 2 Men can complete 1 copy in 6 days.

Question asks us :

8 Men ( complete ) 4 Copies --> X Days

It will take 6 days because the proportion of men to copies is same as the first equation.

Theoretically:

10 Men 5 Copies 6 Days

8 Men   4 Copies  X Days

> 6/X = 8/10 ( If men decrease the number of days increase. So, it is an indirect proportion. ) . 5/4 ( If copies decrease the number of days decrease as well. So, it is a direct proportion. )

> 6/X = 8/10 . 5/4

> 6/X = 40/40

> 6/X = 1

<h2>> X=6</h2><h2></h2><h2><em>I hope it will be understood.</em></h2><h2><em>If I have any inaccuracies please let me know.</em></h2><h2><em>Have a nice day and never stop questioning!</em></h2><h3><em></em></h3>

Answer:

The number of days required for 8 men working to complete 4 copies of the books is 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given As

The number of men (M1) = 10

The number of working days (D1) = 6  days

The work done (W1) = 5 copies

Again,

The number of men (M2) = 8

The number of working days (D2) = D2 days

The work done (W2) = 4 copies

∵  \frac{Men\times Day}{Work} = constant

So , \frac{M1\times D1}{W1} = \frac{M2\times D2}{W2}

or, \frac{10\times 6}{5} = \frac{8\times D2}{4}

Or, \frac{60}{5} = \frac{8\times D2}{4}

Or, D2 = \frac{12\times 4}{8}

∴  D2 = 6 days

Hence The number of days required for 8 men working to complete 4 copies of the books is 6 days    Answer

At a certain college, the ratio of men to women is 6 to 5. If there are 1,500 men, how many women are there?
Fed [463]

Let 6x represent the men

5x represents the women

The ratio of men to women is 6 to 5 or 6/5


6x / 5x = 1500/ W  where W is the number of women

6/5 = 1500/W

W =  1250 women

Solve: x^+4/x-1 = 5/x-1
AlexFokin [52]
The first step for solving this equation is to determine the defined range.
\frac{ x^{4}  }{x-1} = \frac{5}{x-1}, x ≠ 1
Remember that when the denominators of both fractions are the same,, you need to set the numerators equal. This will look like the following:
x^{4} = 5
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots.
x +/- \sqrt[4]{5}
Separate the solutions.
x = \sqrt[4]{5}           , x ≠ 1
x = -\sqrt[4]{5} 
Check if the solution is in the defined range.
x = \sqrt[4]{5} 
x = -\sqrt[4]{5} 
This means that the final solution to your question are the following:
x = \sqrt[4]{5}          
x = -\sqrt[4]{5} 
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Standard deviation measures _____ risk while beta measures _____ risk.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Standard deviation measures Total risk while beta measures Systematic risk.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total risk is the total variability of the portfolio and includes the systematic risk and the unique risk.

The systematic risk is measured by the beta coefficient and it considers the no diversified risk such as changes in the global market. Unique risks are the ones that result from factors specifically related to the company.
