If 4 electricians can complete a job in 8 hours how long will it take 3 electricians to complete the same job

1 answer:

8 0

We know that

if <span>4 electricians can complete a job in 8 hours
then
</span>100% of a job -------> 8 hours
x------------------> 1 hour
x=100/8----> x=12.5%

divide by 4 electricians
12.5%/4-----> 3.125%
that means each electrician can complete 3.125% of a job in 1 hour

therefore
3 electricians-----> 3*3.125%----> 9.375% in 1 hour
so
9.375%-----------> 1 hour
100%--------------> x
x=100/9.375----> x=10.67 hours

the answer is
10.67 hours

Plz tell me where to mark and the answers....

Well x=1 always unless it tells you other wise so 1+0.5 would equal 1.5 and so after that you keep adding so 1.5 + 0.5 equal 2 so you keep taking the previous answer and adding 0.5 to it

This net can be folded to make a square pyramid. what is the surface area of the pyramid

givi [52]

Answer:

$85in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the surface area we need to find the followng areas:

area of the square

area of a triangle and multiply it by 4 (because there are 4 triangles)

And once we have those areas, we add them to find the surface area.

Area of the square:

the formula to find the area of a square is:

$a_{square}=l^2$

where $l$ is the length of the side: $l=5in$

thus the area of the square is:

$a_{square}=(5in)^2$

$a_{square}=25in^2$

Area of the triangles:

the are of 1 triangle is given by

$a_{triangle} =\frac{b*h}{2}$

where $b$ is the base of the triangle: $b=5in$ (the base of the triangle is the side of the square)

and $h$ is the height of the triangle: $h=6in$

thus, the area of 1 triangle is:

$a_{triangle} =\frac{(5in)*(6in)}{2}$

$a_{triangle} =\frac{30in^2}{2}$

$a_{triangle} =15in^2$

the area of the 4 triangles is (we multiply by 4):

$a_{4-triangles}=4(15in^2)$

$a_{4-triangles}=60in^2$

finally we add the area of the square and the area of the 4 triangles to find the total surface area:

$Surface=25in^2+60in^2$

$Surface=85in^2$

what would it be if the sum of six consecutive even numbers is 130 what would the 2nd number be in the sequence PLZ HELP

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{Second\ Number = 42}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive even numbers be x,x+2,x+4, x+ 6, x+ 8 and x+10

So, the given condition is:

x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8+x+10 = 270

6x + 30 = 270

Subtracting both sides by 30

6x = 270 - 30

6x = 240

Dividing both sides by 6

x = 40

So,

First Number = x = 40

Second Number = x+2 = 40+2 = 42

Third Number = x+4 = 40+4 = 44

Fourth Number = x+6 = 40+6 = 46

Fifth Number = x+8 = 40+8 = 48

Sixth Number = x+10 = 40+10 = 50

How to solve 9 * 4 - 8 / 2 *4

egoroff_w [7]

Answer: the answer is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Use order of operations and divide 8 by 2 and you get 4. Then use the PEMDAS (parentheses,exponents,multiplacation,division,addition, subtraction) method. Go left to right. And solve. :) I hope this helps
