A group of five people are all working on the same mathematics problem. On the night before it is due, they call each other to d

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Minimum number of calls = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets name the five people as A,B,C,D and E.

<u>On the night before ,each person talks to every other person atleast once that means A would talk to B,C,D and E atleast once.</u>

Lets start with A. He would talk to other 4 people which means there would be 4 phone calls made.

Now lets take B. He can talk to A,C,D and E. But A has already talked to C therefore to get minimum number of phone calls , B need not call A again. So he calls only C,D and E.

In case of C using similar logic he need to talk to only D and E.

For D , he talks to E alone.

E does not have to talk to anyone as he has already talked to everyone atleast once.

Total calls = 4 + 3 + 2 + 1

= 10

Working together, Candice and Ximena painted a fence in 8 hours. Last year, Ximena painted the fence by herself. The year before

makkiz [27]

Answer: Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone = 24 hours

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone .

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = x-12

As per given , we have

$\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x-12}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x-12+x}{x(x-12)}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 8(2x-12)=x^2-12x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 16x-96=x^2-12x\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x-16x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-28x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-4x-24x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x(x-4)-24(x-4)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (x-4)(x-24)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=4, 24$

if x= 4

Time taken by Ximena = 4 hours

Time taken by Candice = 4-12 hours =-8 hours which is not possible. (time cannot be negative)

Therefore, x= 24

Such that

Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone = 24 hours

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 24-12=12 hours

ABCD∼EFGH AD=45 in. , EH=75 in. , and AB=30 in. What is EF ?

Marrrta [24]

EF = 50 in.

In similar figures, corresponding sides are proportional. We use the similarity statement ABCD~EFGH to write a proportion:

$\frac{AB}{EF}=\frac{AD}{EH}
\\
\\ \frac{30}{x}=\frac{45}{75}$

Cross multiply the proportion:
45*x = 75*30
45x = 2250

Divide both sides by 45:
45x/45 = 2250/45
x = 50
