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.

klemol [59]

Answer:

p=1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive inverse of any number means a number which can be added to the original number to get

Two numbers are said to be additive inverse of each other if sum of both numbers is 0. For example if 5 is the given number then -5 will be it's additive inverse. So to find additive inverse, we basically change the sign of number.

Given number p is additive inverse off -1.2 so p must be 1.2.

Sum will obviously be 0.

So to graph them on number line, we make a point at -1.2, 1.2 and at 0 for their sum.

a car covers a distance of 490 km with a speed of 70km and then covers a speed of 90km calculate its average speed

DaniilM [7]

Average speed = total distance divided by total time.

In the first part, the car covered 490 km in 7 hours, but I think you mistyped the second part (“then covers a speed of 90km”) and a critical piece is missing to find the total distance and time.
