Answer:

a. 4 represents the amount of pounds of strawberries each friend got.

b. 4 represents the number of friends who were sharing the strawberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is: "Twenty pounds of strawberries are being shared equally by a group of friends. The equation 20\div5=4 represents the division of strawberries. </h3><h3>a. If the 5 represents the number of people, what does the 4 represent?</h3><h3>b. If the 5 represents the pounds of strawberries per person, what does the 4 represent?" </h3><h3> </h3>

You need to analize the information given in the exercise.

You know that the total amount of pounds of strawberries that are shared equally is:

Total=20\ lb

a. Then if the group of people is formed by 5 friends, you need to divide the total pounds of strawberries that by 5 in order to calculate the amount of pounds of strawberries each one of them got.

If in the equation 20\div5=4, 5 represents the number of people, then 4 represents the amount of pounds of strawberries each friend got.

b. If each person got 5 pounds of strawberries, you can calculate the number of friends who was sharing them by dividing the total pounds of strawberries by 5.

So, if in the equation 20\div5=4,  5 represents the pounds of strawberries per person, then 4 represents the number of friends who were sharing the strawberries.

Two workers finished a job in 12 days. How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 1
Lorico [155]

Two workers finished a job in 7.5 days.

How long would it take each worker to do the job by himself if one of the workers needs 8 more days to finish the job than the other worker?

let t = time required by one worker to complete the job alone

then

(t+8) = time required by the other worker (shirker)

let the completed job = 1

A typical shared work equation

7.5%2Ft + 7.5%2F%28%28t%2B8%29%29 = 1

multiply by t(t+8), cancel the denominators, and you have

7.5(t+8) + 7.5t = t(t+8)

7.5t + 60 + 7.5t = t^2 + 8t

15t + 60 = t^2 + 8t

form a quadratic equation on the right

0 = t^2 + 8t - 15t - 60

t^2 - 7t - 60 = 0

Factor easily to

(t-12) (t+5) = 0

the positive solution is all we want here

t = 12 days, the first guy working alone

then

the shirker would struggle thru the job in 20 days.
