so two fellows did all the carpeting in 10 days.
now, how long did "1" fellow work only? well, it worked for 10 days.
how long did the other fellow work for? well, it was working alongside the first one, and it was there for also 10 days.
so the two guys working together, really did 10+10 = 20 "days worth of work". So that the whole carpeting job can be done in 20 "days worth of work".
now if we want to finish it in 4 days, 20 ÷ 4 = 5.
so if we hire 5 guys, since each one will do 4 days worth, 5*4 = 20 <- the whole job.
Answer:
You are currently 40 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the current age is represented by the variable x.
x = current age
The question says that "if you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago"
This can be represented like this:
1/2(x) + 7 = x - 13
Now we solve for x using basic algebra:
1/2(x) = x - 20
-1/2(x) = -20
x = 40
To check if this is correct, plug it back into the equation and see if both sides equal each other:
1/2(40) + 7 = (40) - 13
20 + 7 = 27
27 = 27

Answer:
The percent increase in the employment from the year 
to year 
is 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Employment in the year 
million.
Employment in the year 
million.
To find: The percent increase in the employment.
Solution: We have,
Employment in the year million.
Employment in the year million.
Increase in employment 
million.
Percent increase 
Percent increase 
Hence, the percent increase in the employment from the year to year is .

Please find the attachment for a better understanding of the explanation to this question.
As we can see from the diagram attached, the X axis represented by XX' and the Y axis represented by YY' intersect each other at the origin represented by O. Further, we notice that this intersection is at the angle 90 degrees or in other words the intersection is perpendicular. Thus, we have seen that the the x and y axes in the xy plane intersect perpendicularly. And hence, the answer is TRUE.
Please note that this is always the case and this is also known as orthogonality.
