Answer: about 1 year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The time is takes to build a skyscraper is proportional to its height and inversely proportional to the number of construction workers.

Let T be the time and N be the number of works and H be the height.

Then, \dfrac{T_1 N_1}{H_1}=\dfrac{T_2N_2}{H_2}

Substitute the values , N_1=10,\ T_1=2.5,\ H_1=20 and N_2=80,\ H_2=60 , we get

\dfrac{2.5\times10}{20}=\dfrac{T_2\times80}{60}\\\\\Rightarrow\ T_2=\dfrac{2.5\times10\times60 }{20\times80}=0.9375\approx1 \ year

Hence, it will take about 1 year for 80 workers to build a 60 story building .

BlackZzzverrR [31]
<span>33.75/45.00 x 100 = 75%
This means you are paying 75% of the original.

That means that the price has been marked down by 100-75 = 25% because that is how much of the original you are NOT paying.

Therefore, the answer is 25%. </span>

May someone please help me on which to graph?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional relationship means,

y ∝ x

y = kx

k=\frac{y}{x}

Here, k = proportionality constant

Therefore, if the graph of a line passes through the origin (0, 0) table will represent the proportional relationship.

From table 1,

For a point (1, 2)

k=\frac{2}{1}=2

For another point (3, 2)

k=\frac{3}{2}=1.5

In both the cases 'k' is not same of constant.

Therefore, table (1) is not proportional.

For table (2),

Line passes through (2, 0).

That means there is a x-intercept → (2, 0)

Therefore, table doesn't represent a proportional relationship.

For table (3),

Line passes through a point (0, 1)

It means given line has a y-intercept → y = 1

Therefore, table doesn't represent a proportional relationship.

For table (4),

Line of this table passes through two points (1, 3) and (2, 6)

k=\frac{3}{1}=3

k=\frac{6}{2}=3

Therefore, proportionality constant for the given table is 3.

Now we can graph table (4).

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

12 which is on C

Step-by-step explanation:

use pathogoras theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

16^2+b^2=20^2

256+b^2=400

b^2=400-256

b^2=144

b= square root of 144

b= 12
