So basically it takes 10 people to paint a whole building. Forget about the 5 days. That's just there to confuse you. You have to first find out how much of a building can one person paint so, 1/10. So that means that 7 people can paint 7/10 of a building in 5 days

ANSWER

\frac{7}{10}

EXPLANATION


It was given that, 10 people can paint a building in 5days.


We can write the ratio,

10 : 1

Now we want to find how much of the building

7 people could paint in the same 5 days working at the same rate.


Let it be in the ratio,

7 : x

Then we can write and solve the following proportional equation for x,

10 : 1 = 7 : x




We can rewrite this as a fraction to get,

\frac{10}{1}  =  \frac{7}{x}


Let us now cross multiply to get,


10x = 7


We divide both sides by 10 to obtain,


x =  \frac{7}{10}
This means the 7 people can only paint a fraction ( 70%) of the building and not the whole building.

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

1) (9, 75+360n)

2) (−9, 255+360n)

Step-by-step explanation:

(9, 75) is same as (9, 75 + 360)

so it would be (9, 435)

It can also be expressed as (-9, 75 + 180 degrees)

so (-9,255) degrees

In general, (9,75+360 n) for n≥0 represents half of the possible ways of representing the point : (9,75)

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

K must be in range <u>$45000 ≤ k ≤ $53000 </u>to make this an effective screening device.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the screening device to be effective, the range of k must be such that, it is more than the pay of a worker without diploma. The extra amount must at least be equal to the cost of diploma

So the value of k must be in range from (35000 + 10000) to (35000 + 18000)

Hence,

<u>$45000 ≤ k ≤ $53000</u>
