Answer:

Number of total bees = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

He catches 100 bees from the hive and marks each one with a dye.

He later catches 60 and 15 were marked with the dye.

Its very to estimate from the data given.

I'll answer it with ratio.

We'll ratio number of bees with dye to total he caught the second day.

I.e 15:60 = 1:4

We'll multiply this ratio with the number he caught the first day to know the total.

1/4x =100

X = 100*4

X= 400

Where x is the total number of bees in the bee hive.

Javier is considering two lawn care services. Premier Landscaping charges $15.00 for travel to the job site and $55.00 per hour
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Time in which both companies charge same cost = 1.5 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

                                                        Fixed    Variable

Premier Landscaping charges          $15        $55

Ace Landscaping charges                               $65

Find:

Time in which both companies charge same cost:

Computation:

Assume in X time both companies charge same cost:

So,

Premier Landscaping total cost = Ace Landscaping total cost

⇒ $15 + $55(Time taken) = $65 (Time taken)

⇒ $15 = $65 (Time taken) - $55(Time taken)

⇒ $15 = $10 (Time taken)

⇒ Time taken = 1.5 hour

Time in which both companies charge same cost = 1.5 hour
