Answer:

  9 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

In problems of this nature, the usual assumption is that the time required is proportional to the work product and inversely proportional to the number of people doing the job. Here, there is no change in the amount of work, but the number of people is reduced by a factor of 12/18 = 2/3.

So, the amount of time required is expected to increase by a factor of 1/(2/3) = 3/2.

  (6 weeks)×(3/2) = 9 weeks

It would have taken 9 weeks to sew the 540 dresses.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

4  (9 x + 11) is an equivalent expression for the perimeter that shows the side length of the square is  (9 x + 11).

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given The perimeter of the square  = (36 x+44)

Now,as we know :

PERIMETER OF SQUARE = 4 x ( SIDES)

Simplifying the perimeter expression.

Take 4 common out of the expression (36 x+44), we get:

(36 x+44) =  4 (9 x + 11)

⇒ Perimeter of the square  =  4 x  (9 x + 11)

⇒4 x ( SIDES) = 4 x (9 x + 11)

⇒ Each Side = (9 x + 11)

Hence, 4 x (9 x + 11) is an equivalent expression for the perimeter that shows the side length of the square is  (9 x + 11).
