Answer:

0.75 days (im a bit unsure but i tried my best, hope this helps :) )

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 8 technicians 36 hours to test 560 samples, find how many technicians can test 525 samples.

8: 560

x: 525

x= 7.5 (which is considered 7)

Then, find how long it takes to sample 525 samples, when 560 are done in 36 hours;

560: 36

525: x

x= 33.75 (which is considered 34 hours)

The last step is to check how long 15 technicians take to sample 525 samples when 8 can do the same number in 34 hours. this is inverse proportion so dont forget to flip one numerator and denominator

8; 34

15; x

it will become

15:34

8: x

x= 18 hours

Divide by 24 for days hence 0.75 days

To solve this you would make a triangle, Assuming you had a piece of paper.

It would look like the picture included (where ever that is) sorry for the horrible drawing with mouse.

You can then you Pythagorean Theorem to solve this

$a^{2} + b^2 =c^2$

width will be (a)

put in your variables

$a^2 + 72^2 = 90^2$
$a^2 + 5184 = 8100$

Subtract 5184 over and get
$a^2 = 2916$

square root both sides and get
a=54

the field is 54 meters wide
