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

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The answer is 16.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Since the 8x is positive, the equation  must have y as a positive number.

Let's see this!

An easy way to complete the square if you have the constants for x2 and

But not the non-variable number is to divide the x constant, and then square it.

Example:

\frac{8x}{2} \\\\4^2=16\\

The last number must be 16. Let's check it.

(x+4)^2=x^2+8x+16

If the point P(x, y) partitions the segment AB in the ratio 1 : 1, then the point P is midpoint of segment AB.

The formula of a midpoint of segment:

A(x_A;\ y_A),\ B(x_B,\ y_B)\\\\P_{AB}\left(\dfrac{x_A+x_B}{2};\ \dfrac{y_A+y_B}{2}\right)

We have:

A(13,\ 1)\to x_A=13,\ y_A=1\\B(-5,\ -3)\to x_B=-5,\ y_B-3\\\\P\left(\dfrac{13+(-5)}{2};\ \dfrac{1+(-3)}{2}\right)\to P\left(\dfrac{8}{2};\ \dfrac{-2}{2}\right)\to P(4,\ -1)

Answer: C. (4, -1)

One - eighth of 7.92 x 10^10
liraira [26]
The answer is 9900000000 (thats 8 zeros) What you do is you find 10^10 which is 10000000000 (ten zeros) and multiply that by 7.92 to get 79200000000 then you just multiply it by 1/8 to get the answer.
