Well, let's see . . .
You said that (a) men can dig (c) holes in (b) hours.
So . . . It takes (a) men (b / c) hours to dig one hole.
And . . . It takes One man (a b / c) hours to dig one hole.
Now . . . There are (b) holes to be dug.
It would take one man (a b / c)·(b) = (a b² / c) hours to dig them all.
But if you had 'x' men, it would only take them (c) hours to do it.
So c = (a b² / c) / x
x c = (a b² / c)
x = a b² / c² men .
Now, I lost the big overview while I was doing that,
and just started following my nose through the fog.
So I have to admit that I'm not that confident in the answer.
But gosh durn it. That's the answer I got, and I'm stickin to it.
Rrarrup !
Set it up into ratio or proportion
8/50 :: x/60
Answer:
C. (x + 4)(x + 5).
Step-by-step explanation:
We need 2 numbers whose product is + 20 and whose sum is + 9.
They are + 5 and + 4 , so
x2 + 9x +20
= (x + 4)(x + 5).
Change 2/4 to 1/2
<span><span>2x+<span>1/2</span>=189.5</span></span>
Subtract <span>1/2</span> from both sides(1/2 = .5)
2x=189
Divide both sides by <span>2</span>
2x/2 = x
189/2= 94.5
x=94.5
