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

I don't know what I'm doing wrong here, can anyone help?
Novosadov [1.4K]

if you look at the part where the first part connects with the second part:

y = 5 if x < - 2

y = -2x + 1 if  -2 ≤ x < 1

we don't have a discontinuity there, so there shouldn't be a dot.

<h3></h3><h3>What is wrong with the graph?</h3>

When we graph over intervals like (a, b) or [a, b] or something like that, we use dots to define the end of the intervals, and to denote that the function ends abruptly or we have a jump.

In this case, you can see that between the end and the second part and the beginning of the third part there is a jump, so the use of dots is correct there, but if you look at the part where the first part connects with the second part:

y = 5 if x < - 2

y = -2x + 1 if  -2 ≤ x < 1

we don't have a discontinuity there, so there shouldn't be a dot.

That is the only error with the graph.

The width of a kitchen is 4.2 metres.
Zolol [24]

Answer:

11,67

Step-by-step explanation:

In the order to get the answer, we need to get the right measurements. That is turn the cm into m or 60 cm to 0,6 m because 1 cm is 0.01m. How many cupboards in a kitchen that is 4,2 m long? To get the answer just divide 4,2 m with 0,6 m, and that is 11,67 cupboards in a 4,2 m long kitchen.
