Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The recycling and reuse industry employs approximately 1,025,000 more workers than the waste management industry. This means that

Number of workers employed by The recycling and reuse industry = the number of workers employed by the waste management industry + 1,025,000

Let y = the number of workers employed by the waste management industry. Therefore

x = y + 1,025,000 - - - - - - 1

Since total = 1,275,000

x + y = 1,275,000 - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes

y + 1,025,000 + y = 1,275,000

2y = 1,275,000 - 1,025,000

y = 250000/2 = 125000

x = y + 1,025,000 = 125000 + 1,025,000 = 1150000

The recycling and reuse industry employs 1150000 workers

The waste management industry employs 125000 workers

A cube has a volume of 512 mm^3. If all sides of the cube are divided by 4, what will the resulting volume be?
pshichka [43]
\bf \textit{volume of a cube}\\\\
V=s^3\qquad \boxed{s=\frac{s}{4}}\implies V=\left( \cfrac{s}{4} \right)^3\implies V=\cfrac{s^3}{4^3}\implies V=s^3\cdot \cfrac{1}{4^3}
\\\\\\
V=s^3\cdot \cfrac{1}{64}\impliedby \frac{1}{64}\textit{ of the original volume, if the original was 512}
\\\\\\
512\cdot \cfrac{1}{64}\implies \cfrac{512}{64}

Phoebe usually drives to work each day on a 12-mile road that is currently closed for construction. While the road is closed she
Mumz [18]

The total distance phoebe has to drive each day (round trip) while her usual route is closed is 42 miles

<h3>What is a Pythagoras theorem?</h3>

The square of the longest side is equal to the square of the sum of the othersides.

Before we can calculate the total distance, we will need to get the hypotenuse on  both sides using the Pythagoras theorem as shown:

H^2= 12^2 + 9^2

H² = 144 + 81

H² = 225

H = 15

For the other hypotenuse

h² = 12² + 5²

h² = 144 + 25

h²  = 169

h = 13 mils

The total distance = 5 + 15 + 9 + 13

The total distance = 42 miles

The total distance phoebe has to drive each day (round trip) while her usual route is closed is 42 miles
