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

Step-by-step explanation:

$A=2πrh+2π {r}^{2}$

$= 2\pi.r(r + h)$

= 2π(14).(14+29)

=2π .14.43

$2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 43$

$= 2 \times 22 \times 2 \times 43$

Write the following as an algebraic expression. Then simplify.

ch4aika [34]

X+(x+1)=y. The first integer would be x, and the second would be one more than x, so x+1. I'm not sure if there's a specific number they are supposed to total, so I just set it equal to y. If there is a specific number, just replace y with that number. Hope this helps!

Lorico [155]

Answer:

1. 1340

2. Variance = 47200, standard deviation = 217.25556

Step-by-step explanation:

If X is the random variable that give the number of admissions, then the expected number of admissions E[X] for the fall semester is

1080*P(X=1080)+1380*P(X=1380)+1540*P(X=1540) =

1080*0.4+1380*0.1+1540*0.5 = 1340

The variance is defined as
