Harry can rake the leaves in the yard 8 hours faster than his little brother Jimmy can.
If they join to work together they can complete the job in 3 hours. 
1/x + 1/(x - 8) = 1/3 
3(x - 8) + 3x = x(x - 8) 
x^2 - 14x + 24 = 0 
(x - 12)(x - 2) = 0 
Solutions: 
x = 2 
x = 12 
Jimmy can complete the job on his own in 12 hours.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The amount of Kroner that can be bought from 1/5 of one dollar.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that goods that cost 1/5 of one dollar in the U.S. cost one kroner in Denmark. We are asked to find the the real exchange rate that would be computed as how many Danish goods per U.S. goods.

The real exchange rate tells us how much foreign currency can be exchanged for a unit of domestic currency.

It also tells us that how much the goods and services in the domestic country can be exchanged for the goods and services in a foreign country.

Therefore, the real exchange rate would be the amount of Kroner that can be bought from 1/5 of one dollar.

Two factory plants are making TV panels. Yesterday, Plant A produced 16,000 panels. Five percent of the panels from Plant A and

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Number of panels produced by Plant B is 8,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of panels produced by Plant A = 16,000

The number of defective panels from A = 5%

Now, 5% of 16,000 = $\frac{5}{100} \times 16,000 = 800$

So, out of 16,000 panels produced by pant A , 800 are defective. .. (1)

Let us assume number of panels produced by Plant B = m

The number of defective panels from B = 2%

Now, 2% of m = $\frac{2}{100} \times m = 0.02 m$

So, out of total m panels produced by pant B , 0.02 m are defective. .. (2)

Now, total panels produced over all = Panels by A + Panels by B

= 16,000 + m

The percentage of defected panels over all = 4%

Now, 4% of (16,000 + m) = $\frac{4}{100} \times (16,000+m) = (0.04)(16,000 + m)$

Also, the total number of defective panels = Defective from A + Defective from B

⇒(0.04)(16,000 + m) = 800 + 0.02 m from (1) and (2)

or, 640 + 0.04 m = 800 + 0.02

or, 0.02 m = 160

⇒ m = 160 /0.02 = 8,000

or, m = 8,000

Hence, Number of panels produced by Plant B is 8,000.
