Answer:

50 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve these type of question we should always remember that man power is inversely proportionate to the work done.

That means if we double the manpower work done will be half. and when we reduce the manpower to the half time take to complete the work will be double.

It takes 5 men to brick a house = 20 hours

so 1 man will brick the house = 20 × 5

                                                = 100 hours

Therefore, 2 men will brick the house =  \frac{100}{2}

                                                               = 50 hours.

To find the contribution of each man (this is a sexist problem as women could work as well, but that’s besides the point) take 5/2 and then multiply that value by 20 and you’ll find it takes 50 hours for two men to do it.

Answer: 50 hours

Alchen [17]

Answer: 48 sold-out performances must be played in order for you to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of sold-out performances must be played in order for you to break even.

You invest in a new play. The cost includes an overhead of $30,000, plus production costs of $2500 per performance. This means that the total cost of x sold out performances would be

2500x + 30000

A sold-out performance brings you $3125. This means that he total revenue from x sold out performances would be

3125x

To break even, cost = revenue

Therefore,

2500x + 30000 = 3125x

3125x - 2500x = 30000

625x = 30000

x = 30000/625

x = 48
