Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can say that because the men do 1/3 of the work in 20 days,

for 10 men:

20 days = 1/3 total work

Because we need the house built in 30 days, and 20 days have already passed, we only have 30-20=10 days left. Furthermore, 20/2=10, so in our equation of 20 days = 1/3 total work, we can divide both sides by 2 to get

10 days = 1/6 total work

The amount of work we need to get done in 10 days is (all of it) - (1/3 of total work) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 = 4/6

Since 10 men can do 1/6 of the work in 10 days, 10*4 =40 men can do 1/6 * 4 = 4/6 of the work in 10 days. This is the amount of work that needs to get done. Therefore, the contractor needs 40 (total workers) - 10 (current workers) = 30 new workers to finish the remaining work in due time

$4750 invested at 10% p.a compounded semiannually for 10 years, calculate the interest
alexgriva [62]
<h3>Answer:  $7,853.16</h3>

Work Shown:

A = P*(1+r/n)^(n*t)

A = 4750*(1+0.10/2)^(2*10)

A = 12,603.164099436

A = 12,603.16

That represents the account balance after 10 years. To find the interest only, subtract off the deposit amount.

interest = A-P = 12,603.16 - 4,750 = 7,853.16

A scuba diver dove from the surface of the ocean to an elevation of −49 9/10 feet at a rate of −9.5 feet per minute. After spend
laila [671]

Answer:

Rate of change  =  4,06 f/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The ascendent length  28 9/10   =  289/ 10

The time for that ascendent maneuver is total time 17 1/8 minutes  - spended time in the elevation 10 minutes, then

17 1/8  =  137/8

137/8  - 10   =  ( 137 - 80 ) /8   =  57/8 minutes

The rate of change in the diver´s elevation is

289 / 10 / 57/8

Rate of change  =  289*8/ 57*10

Rate of change  =  2312 / 570 ft/min

Rate of change  =  4,06 f/min
