Answer:

a) 3 people will need 35 days to paint the bridge

b) p=105/t

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 7 people each one is to work 15 days, so the bridge needs a total of 7(15) days of work

7(15)=105

Then we have 3 people each one is to work t days, altogether should do a total of 105 days of work

3(t)=105

Solve for t

t=35

Substitute p for 3 in the second equation

p(t)=105

Solve for p

p=105/t

Shawna took a test that had a total of 20 items. She got 4/5 of the items correct. How many items did she get correct?

ehidna [41]

Shawna got 16 items correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of answers or part of total answers we multiply the fraction with the total number of items.

Given

Total items on test = 20

Correct items fraction = 4/5

Then,

$Correct\ items=\total\ items * \fraction\ of\ correct\ answers\\= 20 * \frac{4}{5}\\=\frac{80}{5}\\=16$

Shawna got 16 items correct

Find (if possible) the complement and the supplement of each angle. (if not possible, enter impossible.) (a) π 10 complement rad

blagie [28]

In this question, we have to find the complement and supplement of the given angles .

Complementary angles are those angles whose sum is 90 degree and supplementary angles are those angles whose sum is 180 degree.

So to find the complement and supplement angles, we need to subtract the given angles from pi/2 and pi respectively .

$\frac{ \pi}{10}
\\
complement \ angle = \frac{ \pi}{2} - \frac{ \pi}{10} \\ = \frac{4 \pi}{10} = \frac{ 2 \pi}{5}
\\
Supplement \ angle = \pi - \frac{ \pi}{10} = \frac{9 \pi}{10}$

$\frac{9 \pi}{10}
\\
Complement \ angle = \frac{ \pi}{2} - \frac{9 \pi}{10} = \frac{-4 \pi}{10} = -\frac{2 \pi}{5}
\\
Supplement \ angle = \pi - \frac{9 \pi}{10} = \frac{ \pi}{10}$

You drive 4 miles from your house to your friend's house. Your house is at an elevation of 622 feet. Your friend's house is at a

ANEK [815]

Just subtract 622 feet from 486 feet to get the change in elevation. The result will be negative because your friend's house is at a lower elevation than yours.

Now find the mean change in elevation per mile by dividing (486 ft - 622 ft) by 4 miles:
-136 ft
----------- = -34 ft/mile
4 mi
