Two ratios that are equivalent are the same in value. We call these equivalent ratios. To find an equivalent ratio multiply or divide both of the numbers by a common number (or same number), this would be the exact same when finding equivalent fractions as well.

A manufacturing plant earned $80 per man hour of labor when it opened. Each year, the plant earns an additional 5% per man hour.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The amount that plant earns per man hour after (t) years it open is $80 $(1.05)^{\textrm t}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The earning of manufacturing plant when it opened = $ 80 per man hour

The rate of plant earning per man hour = 5 %

Let The earning of plant after t years = A( t )

So,

The earning of plant after t years = initial earning × $(1+ \dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{\textrm Time}$

Or, A(t) = $ 80 × $(1+ \dfrac{\textrm 5}{100})^{\textrm t}$

or, A(t) = $ 80 × $(1.05)^{\textrm t}$

Hence The amount that plant earns per man hour after (t) years it open is $80 $(1.05)^{\textrm t}$ . Answer

There is no real planet that is 1/10 the distance Uranus is from the sun, however the planetoid (smaller planet), Vesta is 1/9 the distance Uranus is from the sun.

How do you solve this?

puteri [66]

Answer:

Width: 7

Length: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can be found my multiplying the length by the width. We do not know neither the length nor the width. However, we do know that the length is 7 feet longer than the width. Because we do not know the value of either side, let's let $x$ represent the width.

Since the length is 7 feet longer, we can represent the length by $x+7$ .

Now that we have our values for the length and the width we can multiply them together to find our area.

$(x)(x+7)=x^{2} +7x$

Now we have our equation, so we can address the changes made by the original question. The original question states that when 7 is added to both the length and width the area becomes 3 times larger. To do so simply increase each side by 7 by adding 7 to the original values.

$(x+7)(x+14)$

And multiply our area by 3.

$3(x^{2} +7x)$

set these equal to each other to find your new equation.

$(x+7)(x+14)=3(x^{2} +7x)$

Now you need to solve for $x$ . To do this first muliply $(x+7)$ and $(x+14)$ .

$(x+7)(x+14)=\\x^{2} +14x+7x+98=\\x^{2} +21x+98$

Then multiply $3(x^{2} +7x)$

$3(x^{2} +7x)=\\3x^{2} +21x$

Now you can begin solving for $x$ .

$x^{2} +21x+98=3x^{2} +21x$

Subtract $x^{2}$ from both sides.

$21x+98=2x^{2} +21x$

Subtract $21x$ from both sides.

$98=2x^{2}$

Divide by 2.

$49=x^{2}$

And finally take the sqaure root of both sides.

$\sqrt{x^{2} }=\sqrt{49}\\x=7$

Remember, because we are dealing with length, there cannot be negative. So while normally we would get both +7 <em>and</em> -7, in this case we <em>only </em>get +7.

Now that we have the value of $x$ , we can plug it into our original values.

For width we simply get 7.

For length we get 7+7=14

To check our answer we cna multiply 7 by 14 to get 98. Then we can add 7 to our length and width to get 14 and 21. Multiply these together and we get 294. 294 divided by 3 is 98, proving our answer correct.
