Answer:

They will need to hire 5 testers.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a simple rule of three.

For each 10 developers, we need 2.5 testers. So how many testers are needed for 20 developers?

10 developers - 2.5 testers

20 developers - x testes

10x = 20*2.5

10x = 50

x = \frac{50}{10}

x = 5

They will need to hire 5 testers.

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of the developers that there were in the company before the hirings, and y the number of testers.

You now that:

\frac{y}{x}  = \frac{2.5}{10}

Then,

y = \frac{2.5x}{10}

Now:

\frac{y + n}{x + 20} = \frac{2.5}{10}

\frac{2.5x}{10} + n = \frac{2.5(x+20)}{10} = \frac{2.5x}{10} + \frac{2.5 * 20}{10}

n =  \frac{2.5 * 20}{10} = 5

An image of two concentric circles is shown with r2 = 6 and r1 = 2:
AysviL [449]

The radius of the Outer circle (with r₂) is 6 and the radius of the inner circle (with r₁) is 2. When objects are similar, they have a proportional relationship. If we take the outer circle and squeeze by one third, we get a radius of 6 x 1/3 = 2. On the other hand, if we start with the inner circle and stretch it by 3, we get a radius of 2 x 3 = 6.


Thus, to make r₂ similar, we use a scale factor of 1/3. The third choice is best.
