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.

The table below shows the combination of a dry prepackaged mix and water to make concrete. The mix says for every 1 gallon of wa
egoroff_w [7]
Let's assign a variable x to the number of multiples for each pound of dry mix and water. With that being the said, the question for finding the total pounds would be:

Total pounds = x*Pounds of dry mix + x*Pounds of water
Total pounds = 60x + 8x = 68x = 14 + 1/6 = 85/6
x = 85/6 / 68
x = 5/24

Thus, the pounds of dry mix is 60*5/24 = 25/2 lbs, while the pounds of water is 8*5/24 = 5/3 pounds.

Whats the difference in 2/3 - 1/6
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2/3&1/6

2/3- 1/6

the LCM for 3 and 6 is 6

=(2x6)/(3x6) -(1x6)/(6x6)

=4/6-1/6

=(4-1)/6

find the difference

= 3/6

=1/2

2/3-1/6= 1/2

By using LCM method, 1/2 is the equivalent fraction by subtracting 1/6 from 2/3.

2/3&1/6

2/3- 1/6

cross multiply

2x6-1x3/3x6

simplify

12-3/18

=9/18

= 1/2

2/3-1/6 = 1/2

By using cross multiplication method, 1/2 is the difference between two fractions 2/3 and 1/6.

A cylindrical swimming pool has a diameter of 16 feet and a height of 3 feet. How many gallons of water can the pool contain? Ro
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

<em>4,524 gallons</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of any cylinder is 

 π (radius)² (height) .

The pool's radius is 1/2 its diameter = 8 ft.  So its volume is

 π (8 ft)² (3 ft)

= π · (64 ft²) · (3 ft)

= π · 192 ft³

= 603.2 ft³ .

(603 ft³) · (7.5 gal / 1 ft³) = 4,524 gallons

Hope this helps :D
