Answer:
<h2> In 8 hours he will set 1200 bricks</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we are expected to estimate the number of bricks he can set in 8 hours.
let us convert hours to minutes we have
60 min make 1 hour
x min make 8 hours
cross multiply
x= 60*8
x= 480 min
We are assuming the same rate with which he sets 2.5 brick is the same as the rate with which he will set bricks for the 8 hours windows
so if the bricklayer sets
2.5 bricks in 1min
y bricks in 480 min
Cross multiply we have
y=2.5*480
y= 1200 bricks
hence in 8 hours, he will set 1200 bricks
<h3>Given:</h3>
Fifteen more than z times 6 is 11 less than y times 2
<h3>Solution:</h3>
Fifteen more than z times 6 = 6z + 15
11 less than y times 2 = 2y - 11
<h2>Answer:</h2>
6z + 15 = 2y - 11
The problem is the number by the side
Oh Foxy, Foxy, how totally debilitated you must be ! Try to relax. Nobody
enjoys a painful brain, and believe me, this problem is not worth it.
Let me put it to you this way: What if the problem said . . .
-- Demarcus has $8 more than his sister.
-- His sister has $4.
-- How much money ' M ' does Demarcus have ?
If your brain didn't hurt, you could quickly solve this right in there.
You would know that Demarcus' money ' M ' = 8 + 4 .
That's <em>almost </em>exactly what the problem <em>does</em> say.
Except it doesn't say he has "$8 more than his sister",
it says he has "at least" that much.
So you know that ' M ' is not exactly = 8 + 4, but that's the <u>least</u> it could be.
The actual amount of ' M ' is <u>more</u> than that.
Surely you can handle it from here, even with half of your brain
tied behind your back.
Take a good hard look at ' A ', and then go lie down.
