Answer:

The shorter piece   x  =  8.4 in

The longer one    y  =  15.6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If we cut  a string length  L  in to unequal  pieces we get two pieces

first one with length  x  and the other one with length  y

Let call  x  the smaller piece,  then   y = L  -  x will be the longer one

If   x  =  35 %    then

x  =  0,35* L     and

y = L -  x  =  L - 0,35*L      ⇒  y  =  0,65 L     ⇒ y  =  0.65*24

Now if L  =  24  in

x  =  0,35*24          ⇒               x = 8.4 in

and

L  -  x  =  0.65*L      ⇒       L - x  =  0.65*24     y  =  L  -  x  =  15.6 in

as way of verification you can add the length of the two pieces and find:

8.4  +  15.6  = 24 in

When estimating a job to bid, a contractor’s estimator first determines the actual cost of labor using the function L(h) = 28.75
dybincka [34]

Answer:

  M(h) = 73.18025h

Step-by-step explanation:

The composite function is ...

  M(B(L(h))) = M(B(28.75h)) = M(1.78(28.75h)) = M(51.175h)

  = 1.43(51.175h) = 73.18025h

The composite function is ...

  M(h) = M(B(L(h))) = 73.18025h
