skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

£103.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Payment per hour = £8.50

Overtime payment = 1.4 × 8.50

= £11.90

Ben worked for 11 hours.

Normal time = 8 hours

Overtime = 3 hours

Total earnings = (8 hours × 8.50) + (3 hours × 11.90)

= £68 + £35.7

= £103.70

Ben earned £103.70 for working for 11 hours

A school wants to put on a dance recital Middle School dancers have short programs that run 4 minutes long High School performer

sp2606 [1]

Answer: The answer is $\textup{M}+\textup{H}\leq 10~~\textup{and}4\textup{M}+7\textup{H}\leq 90.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a school wants to put on a dance recital. The programs of Middle school dancer will be short of 4 minutes each and programmes of High school performers will be long of 7 minutes each.

Number of middle school dances is "M" and number od high school dances is "H".

Since there cannot be more than 10 dances all together, so fisrt inequality can be written as

$\textup{M}+\textup{H}\leq 10.$

Also, the entire recital must take maximum 90 minutes, so the second inequality can be written as

$4\textup{M}+7\textup{H}\leq 90.$

Thus, the pair of inequalities is

$\textup{M}+\textup{H}\leq 10,\\\\4\textup{M}+7\textup{H}\leq 90.$
