Answer:

Normal earning rate of Julio is $11.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the normal hourly rate of earning = $r per hour

Then for overtime earnings = 1.4 × $r per hour

Julio works for 30 hours so earnings = 30(r)

last he did overtime for 5 hours (35 - 30) so the earning for the overtime = 5(1.4r) = 7r

Total earning of Julio = 30r + 7r = $436

or 37r = $436

r = \frac{436}{37} = $11.78

Therefore, normal rate of Julio's earning is $11.78.

N = regular rate
1.4n= overtime rate

30n + 5(1.4n) = $436.60  (30 hours x regular rate n)  plus 5 hours at 1.4 times reg rate.

30n + 7n = $436.60    now add like terms
37n = $436.60    now divide both sides by 37
n= $11.80   
Check to see if my answer is reasonable 30 x 12= 360  + 5 x 10 x 1.4 = about 70 (notice that I used 10 instead of 12 here so I could do it in my head)
360 + 70 = 430 - close enough - my answer is reasonable
Check:
(30 x $11.80) + 5 ( 1.4 x 11.80
354 + 5( 16.52)
354 + 82.60 = 436.60    ($436.60)

The cube root of 5 times the square root of 5 over the cube root of 5 to the 5th power
Fiesta28 [93]
(cube root of 5)  * sqrt(5)
--------------------------------- = ?
(cube root of 5^5)

This becomes easier if we switch to fractional exponents:


  5^(1/3) * 5^(1/2)         5^(1/3 + 1/2)       5^(5/6)
------------------------ = --------------------- = ------------- = 5^[5/6 - 5/3]
[ 5^5 ]^(1/3)                  5^(5/3)                 5^(5/3) 

Note that 5/6 - 5/3 = 5/6 - 10/6 = -5/6.

                                                            1
Thus,  5^[5/6 - 5/3] = 5^(-5/6)  =  --------------
                                                        5^(5/6)

That's the correct answer.  But if you want to remove the fractional exponent from the denominator, do this:

    1            5^(1/6)         5^(1/6)
---------- * ------------- = --------------    (ANSWER)
5^(5/6)       5^(1/6)              5
