Answer:

3000 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

So we find out how many boxes 6 people pack in a day on average
1500 divide by 4 days is 375 boxes a day
Now how many boxes a day would 8 people do, if 6 people can do 375 boxes
So the ratio of 6 people to 8 people is 3:4 $\frac{6people}{8people}=\frac{3}{4} ,so,8people=\frac{4}{3}*(6people)$
Using this we make another ratio using the boxes
$since,(6 people=375boxes/day),then\\8people= \frac{4}{3} *375=500 boxes/day$

Multiply that by 6 days
$500boxes/day*6days=3000boxes$

For what values of b are the given vectors orthogonal? <br><br> (−30, b, 5), (b, b2, b)

mart [117]

Given :

Two vectors :

$v_1=-30i+bj+5k\\\\v_2=bi+2bj+bk\\\\$

To Find :

The value of b for which the vectors are orthogonal .

Solution :

We know , two vectors are orthogonal when the are perpendicular to each other .

So , their dot product will be zero .

So ,

$-30b+2b^2+5b=0\\\\2b^2-25b=0\\\\b(2b-25)=0$

Therefore , for b =0 and $b=\dfrac{25}{2}$ the vectors are orthogonal .

Hence , this is the required solution .
