The number of additional employees who should be laid off to meet target of reducing the workforce by 4% will be as follows:
Total number of workers to be laid off will be given by:
(%ge of employees to be laid off)/100×(Total number of employees)
=4/100×18,600
=744 employees
Given that 126 of the quit voluntarily the remaining number that shpuld be laid off will be:
(total number of employees to be laid off)-(number of employees who quit)
=744-126
=618
Therefore we conclude the 618 more employees should be laid off.

A rectangle sand box has a length of 5 and 1/3 feet and a width of 3 and 3/4 feet. What is the perimeter?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle = ⇒ 18\frac{1}{6} feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of a rectangular sand box = 5\frac{1}{3}\ feet

Width of the box = 3\frac{3}{4}\ feet

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w)

where l represents length of rectangle and w represents width of the rectangle.

Substituting values given for length and width.

Perimeter of sand box = 2(5\frac{1}{3}+3\frac{3}{4})\ feet

Simplifying by adding fractions:

⇒  2(5+3+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})\ feet (Adding whole numbers and fractions separately)

⇒  2(8+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4}) feet

Whole number 8 can be written as \frac{8}{1}

⇒  2(\frac{8}{1}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4}) feet

To add fractions we take LCD for the denominators 3,4,1.

LCD for 3 and 4 = 12 as its the least common multiple of 3,4,1.

Making denominators =12 by multiplying numerator an denominator with the corresponding numbers

⇒  2(\frac{8\times 12}{1\times 12}+\frac{1\times 4}{3\times 4}+\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 3}) feet

⇒  2(\frac{96}{12}+\frac{4}{12}+\frac{9}{12}) feet

Then we simply add numerators.

⇒  2(\frac{96+4+9}{12}) feet

⇒  2(\frac{109}{12}) feet

⇒  2\times \frac{109}{12} feet

⇒  \frac{218}{12} feet

Writing fraction as a mixed number by dividing 218 by 12 and writing quotient as whole number and remainder as numerator with divisor as denominator.

⇒ 18\frac{2}{12} feet

Simplifying fractions to simplest form.

⇒ 18\frac{1}{6} feet

Perimeter =⇒ 18\frac{1}{6} feet  (Answer)

I need help with this maths question
ella [17]
If we simply it, then it would be
3 + 2x + 6 + x = 15, which equals
3x + 6 + 3 = 15,
3x + 9 = 15,
if we subtract 9 from 15, we get 6. If we divide 3x by 3, and 6 by 3, we get 2.
Therefore x = 2, and we know there is a 10/15 chance to get a humbug, or a 1/3 chance.
Hope this helped.
