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
Answer:
288 minutes.(4.8 hours)
Step-by-Step-Explanation:
3 people can build a shed in 8 hours, so how long would it take 1 person to?
3 / 3 = 1
8 * 3 = 24
It would take one person 24 hours to build the shed alone.
24 hours to minutes -
24 * 60 = 1440
If 5 people were to build a shed
(1440 minutes / 5 people -(1440/5= 288))
It would take 5 people 288 minutes (4.8 hours) to build a shed
First calculate the area of the floor, this would be 30*50 = 1500 square feet
Now multiply the area by the cost for each square foot, so 1500*0.5 = $750
The correct issuer is 5/12
Answer:
Sh. 9000
Step-by-step explanation:
John : Peter = 2 : 1
John/peter = 2/1
John = 2 Peter.... (1)
Amos : John = 4:3
Amos/John = 4/3
Amos = 4/3 John.. (2)
From (1) & (2)
Amos = 4/3 * 2 Peter = 8/3 Peter.... (3)
Since,
Amos + John + Peter = 51000
Therefore,
8/3 Peter + 2peter + Peter = 51000
(8+6+3)/3 *Peter = 51000
17/3 * Peter = 51000
Peter = 51000 * 3/17
Peter = 3000 * 3
Peter = 9000
Hence, amount received by Peter is Sh. 9000.
