Answer:

  • 3 people left

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The job can be completed by 7 people in 11 days
  • The job is equivalent of 7*11 = 77 people*days

<u>After 3 days, job left:</u>

  • (11 - 3)*7 =  56 people*days

This was completed by 7 - x people as x people left

<u>Time needed was 14 days, we have new equation:</u>

  • 14(7 - x) = 56
  • 7 - x = 4
  • x = 7 - 4
  • x = 3

As we found, 3 people left

If there are 15 pistachios for every 5 bowls, how many pistachios are in 4 bowls
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

12 pistachios

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the unit rate. So we divide 5 from 15.

15/5=3

So we know that 1 bowl has 3 pistachios(which I think needs more).

Now we need to find how many pistachios are in 4 bowls. Which means we multiply 4 and 3.

4x3=12

So there are 12 pistachios in 4 bowls.
