Answer:
Nolan correctly identified the square numbers before and after 18.
The square roots of them are 4 and 5.
Clearly, square root of 18 should lie between 4 and 5 only.
He, then carefully squared 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 etc. and identified that 4.3 squared is nearer to 18.
Since, Nolan is finding estimated square root, his steps are cool and he didn't make any error.
Answer: 5.64 *10^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation + Answer:
x = 1st job
y = 2nd job
x + y = 22......x = 22 - y
7x + 8.25y = 171.50
7(22 - y ) + 8.25y = 171.50
154 - 7y + 8.25y = 171.50
-7y + 8.25y = 171.50 - 154
1.25y = 17.50
y = 17.50 / 1.25
y = 14 <== 14 hrs at the 8.25 per hr job
x + y = 22
x + 14 = 22
x = 22 - 14
x = 8 <=== 8 hrs at the 7 per hr job
6/14=x/20 cross multiply and get 14x=120 divide and get 8 2/30
