a certain job can be done in 20 hours by 4 people. how many people are needed to do the same job in 10 hours?

1 answer:

7 0

If it takes 4 people to get a job done in 20 hours, then in 10 hours, it will take 2 people to complete the same job.
To find out how many people are needed to do this job in 10 hours, we can see that we got to 10 hours by dividing 20 by two so, to see how many people are needed to complete this same job in ten hours, we would just divide 4 people by 2 which is 2 people.
So, in conclusion, if it takes a certain job to be done in 20 hours by 4 people, then it would take 10 hours for that same job to be completed by 2 people.
Glad I could help!

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

The Base of the triangle will be equivalent to the the length of the rectangle

Since the base of the triangle is 5units, hence length of the rectangle is 5units

Similarly, the height of the triangle is corresponding to the width of the rectangle

Since the height of the triangle is 2 units, the rectangle will be 2 unts wide. Hence the required answer is 2units

If f(x) = 3x + 10x and g(x) = 4x - 2, find (f - g)(x).

Anika [276]

Answer:

$(f-g)(x)=9x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The function $(f-g)(x)$ means subtract the expression of g function from the expression of f function.

So we have: (3x+10x) - (4x - 2) = (13x) - (4x -2) = 13x -4x +2 = 9x+2

Hence $(f-g)(x)=9x+2$

Find the value of m that makes ABC~DEF when AB= 3, BC= 4, DE= 2m, EF= m+5, and ∠B≅∠E.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

m = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that there are two triangles $\triangle$ ABC and

$\triangle$ ABC ~

Also, the sides are:

AB= 3

BC= 4

DE= 2m

EF= m+5 and

∠B≅∠E

Please have a look at the attached figure for $\triangle$ ABC and

The triangles are similar so as per the property of similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding sides will be same.

i.e.

$\dfrac{AB}{DE} = \dfrac{BC}{EF}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{2m} = \dfrac{4}{m+5}\\\Rightarrow 3 \times (m+5) = 4 \times 2m\\\Rightarrow 3m +15= 8m \\\Rightarrow 5m=15\\\Rightarrow m = 3$

So, <em>value of m = 3.</em>

Owen plots the numbers 4, –6, –8, and –3 on a horizontal number line. Which list shows the numbers in the order in which they wo

Maru [420]

Answer:

-8 -6 -3 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In a number line, the numbers on the are lesser than the numbers on the right. In a number line with integers, numbers going to the right from the midline which is 0 is positive and increases as you move to the right. As you move to the left, the numbers are negative and decreases as you move further to the left.

Attached is a picture of how it would look on a number line.
