Answer:
X= Mary’s wages
2x-20=120
Add 20 to both sides
2x=140
Divide both sides by 2
X=70
$70
Step-by-step explanation:
Its greater than 1,050 tens.
Answer: it will take 5 people 6.4 hours to do the work.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of hours required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working. Let h represent the number of hours required to do the job. Let p represent the number of people working. Therefore,
h is inversely proportional to p
Introducing a constant of variation, k, it means that
h = k/p
It takes 8 hours for 4 people to paint the inside of a house. Therefore
8 = k/4
k = 8×4 = 32
The formula becomes
h = 32/p
To determine how many hours it will take 5 people to do the work, we will substitute p = 5 into the formula. It becomes
h = 32/5 = 6.4 hours
3 men
4 women
7 total
3 men/ 7 total = 198 men/ x total
using cross products
3*x = 7 * 198
divide each side by 3
x = 7*198/3
x = 462
There are 462 workers
If you mean 3 men and 1 women for a total of 4 workers when you state a ratio of men and women in a certain factory is 3 to 4.
3/4 =198/x
Using cross products
3x = 4* 198
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 4*198/3
x =264
264 workers
It all depends on how you define ratio of men and women in a certain factory is 3 to 4. This is incorrect phrasing and I took it to be men to women. You cannot have a ratio of men and women.
