A construction team gives an estimate of three months to repave a large stretch of a very busy road with their core crew of 9 pe

ople. The government responds that it is too much of an inconvenience to have this busy road obstructed for three months, so the job must be completed in one month. If the relationship between construction time and crew members is inversely proportional, how many crew members does the construction team need if they are to complete the job in one month

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

9 crew members complete a job in 3 months

Number of crew members is inversely proportion to construction time :

Let :

Crew members = m

Construction time = t

m α 1 /t

m = k/t

m = 9 ; t = 3

9 = k /3

k = 27

If t = 1 (one month)

m =?

m = k/t

m = 27 / 1

Hence;

m = 27 * 1

m = 27 workers

Given collinear points E, F and G such that point F is the midpoint of segment EG. Find the new length of EG given that EF =5x+9
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The length of EG is 58 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of a segment divides it into two equal part

Let us use this rule to solve our question

∵ E, F, and G are collinear points

∵ Point F is the midpoint of segment EG

→ That means F divides EG into 2 equal segments EF and FG

∴ EF = FG

∵ EF = 5x + 9

∵ FG = 3x + 17

→ Equate them

∴ 5x + 9 = 3x + 17

→ Subtract 3x from both sides

∵ 5x - 3x + 9 = 3x - 3x + 17

∴ 2x + 9 = 17

→ Subtract 9 from both sides

∴ 2x + 9 - 9 = 17 - 9

∴ 2x = 8

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∵ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{8}{2}

∴ x = 4

→ Substitute x by 4 in EF and FG to find their lengths

∵ EF = 5(4) + 9 = 20 + 9 = 29

∵ FG = 3(4) + 17 = 12 = 17 = 29

∵ EG = EF + FG

∴ EG = 29 + 29 = 58

∴ The length of EG is 58 units

A number is decreased by 40% to 525. what is the original amount?​
zhenek [66]

Answer:

875

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume the original amount X

the new amount = X - ( X × 40% )

525 = (60 × X) ÷ 100

X = ( 525 × 100 ) ÷ 60

<u>X = 875</u>
