Answer:

12,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the current employees be x

65% increase in number = 0.65x

If the total number of employees after the increase is 20,460, then;

x + 0.65x = 20,460

1.65x = 20,460

x = 20,460/1.65

x = 12,400

Hence the current number of employees is 12,400

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

$2.9-w=1.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be weight of emu egg in pounds.

We have been given that an ostrich egg weighs 2.9 pounds.The difference between the weight of this egg and the weight of an emu egg is 1.6 pounds.

We can represent this information as:

$2.9-w=1.6$

Therefore, the equation $2.9-w=1.6$ will give us the weight of the emu egg, w, in pounds.

Lunna [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

$W^m=\underbrace{W\cdot W\cdot W\cdot...\cdot W}_{m}\\\\W^n=\underbrace{W\cdot W\cdot W\cdot...\cdot W}_{n}\\\\W^mW^n=\underbrace{(W\cdot W\cdot W\cdot...\cdot W)}_{m}\underbrace{(W\cdot W\cdot W\cdot...\cdot W)}_{n}\\\\=\underbrace{W\cdot W\cdot W\cdot...\cdot W}_{m+n}=W^{m+n}$

A gasoline pump delivers 4 2/5 gallons of gas per minute. How many minutes will it take to fill a gas tank that holds 17 1/4 gal

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Well if it pumps 4 2/5 per minute that is equal to 4 4/10 in a minute or 4.4 because you multiply the top and bottom of the fraction by two. it’s still the same fraction but it is easy to convert to a decimal now. you could use this fraction but it’s much easier to use decimals. Because the first number is a decimal you should make the second one a decimal too. To do this you need to know that 1/4 of 100 is 25. so now we have these numbers and all you do now is divide 17.25 by 4.4 which could be rounded to 4 because it’s a long decimal

What's the area of a circle with a radius of 5?

Yuki888 [10]

First, multiply the radius by itself. 5x5=25. Then multiply by pi, or 3.14. 25x3.14=78.5. The area of the circle is 78.5units^2. Hope this helps! ;)
