Work shown above! y = 148
Let's first break it down to the time 8 people need for one wall. That would be 10 minutes, right? If one person would have to do it in stead of 8, you'd expect him to take 80 minutes.
To paint 7 walls, he would nee 7x80 = 560 minutes. 10 people would do that 10 times faster, ie., 56 minutes.
I know puzzles like these always have a mindtrick. Did I miss anything?? ;-)
PART - A : tent - 1 volume = 400 cubic ft
Tent -2 volume = 384 cubic ft.
PART - B : I recommend Joe to make the tent -1 with base 10x10 ft. as it has more volume
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
PART - A:
tent 1 :
Base = 10 x 10ft
Height= 12 ft
Volume = (1/3) (10x 10) (12)
= (1/3) (100) (12)
= 400 cubic ft.
Tent 2:
Base = 12 x 12 ft
Height= 8 ft.
Volume = (1/3) (12 x 12) (8)
= 384 cubic ft.
PART - B:
I recommend Joe to make the tent -1 with base 10x10 ft. as it has more volume
Answer:
-12x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(6x - 8 - 2x) - (12x - 7) - (4x - 5)
The subtraction sign before the parenthesis is basically multiplying by -1, so the subtraction signs in the parenthesis have to change to addition. After that, you can remove the parenthesis.
6x - 8 - 2x - 12x + 7 - 4x + 5
Simplified = -12x + 4
≈0.128 is the correct answer
