A bicycle store installs about 400 tires per day. Tires are installed Monday through Friday for 8 hours per day. The owner of th
dalvyx [7]
Dividing the number of tires that should be installed per day which  is 400 by the number of working hours which is 8 will give us 50 tires per hour. Assuming that the same mistake will take toll on the workers such that they will have 1 tire mistakenly installed in an hour, they will have 8 erroneous tires in a day. Multiplying this by 5 to make the answer per week will give 40. Out of the 400 x 5  = 2000 tires. The answer would be 2000 - 40 which is equal to 1940. The assumption must be valid.

What has she done wrong?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Her error is in squaring (2y)²

She has (2y)² = 2y²

when it should be 2y × 2y = 4y²

Then

(2y)² = 6² + 8²

4y² = 36 + 64

4y² = 100 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y² = 25 ( take square root of both sides )

y = \sqrt{25} = 5

Answer:

  A = 4, B = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You require that ...

  0.30 × A = 0.40 × B

Then ...

  B = (3/4)A . . . . . divide by 0.40

Any pair of numbers that satisfies this equation will be possible values of A and B. One such pair is (A, B) = (4, 3).
