Answer:

They each have $180 before they started.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the amount they each have before they started. Therefore, we have:

Amount with Bill after one hour = x + $20

Amount with Sam after one hour = x - $20

Amount with Bill after two hours = (x + $20) - (x + $20)(2 / 3)

Amount with Sam after two hours = (x - $20) + (x - $20)(2 / 3) = 4((x + $20) - (x + $20)(2 / 3)) ............... (1)

From equation (1), we can solve for x as follows:

(x - $20) + (x - $20)(2 / 3) = 4((x + $20) - (x + $20)(2 / 3))

(x - $20) + (x - $20)0.666666666666667= 4((x + $20) - (x + $20) 0.666666666666667)

x - $20 + 0.666666666666667x - $13.3333333333333= 4(x + $20 - 0.666666666666667x - $13.3333333333333)

x - $20 + 0.666666666666667x - $13.3333333333333= 4x + $80 - 2.66666666666667x - $ 53.3333333333332

Collecting the like terms, we have:

x + 0.666666666666667x - 4x + 2.66666666666667x = $80 - $53.3333333333332+ $20 + $13.3333333333333

(1 + 0.666666666666667- 4 + 2.66666666666667)x = $60

0.333333333333337x = $60

x = $60 / 0.333333333333337

x = $180

Therefore, they each have $180 before they started.

A plant produces 500 units/hour of an item with dimensions of 4” x 6” x 2”. The manager wants to store two weeks of supply in co
mart [117]

Answer:

  564 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

To account for the extra space between units, we can add 2" to every unit dimension and every box dimension to figure the number of units per box.

Doing that, we find the storage box dimensions (for calculating contents) to be ...

  3 ft 2 in × 4 ft 2 in × 2 ft 2 in = 38 in × 50 in × 26 in

and the unit dimensions to be ...

  (4+2)" = 6" × (6+2)" = 8" × (2+2)" = 4"

A spreadsheet can help with the arithmetic to figure how many units will fit in the box in the different ways they can be arranged. (See attached)

When we say the "packing" is "462", we mean the 4" (first) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 3' (first) dimension of the storage box; the 6" (second) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 4' (second) dimension of the storage box; and the 2" (third) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 2' (third) dimension of the storage box. The "packing" numbers identify the unit dimensions, and their order identifies the corresponding dimension of the storage box.

We can see that three of the four allowed packings result in 216 units being stored in a storage box.

If storage boxes are stacked 4 deep in a 9' space, the 2' dimension must be the vertical dimension, and the floor area of each stack of 4 boxes is 3' × 4' = 12 ft². There are 216×4 = 864 units stored in each 12 ft² area.

If we assume that 2 weeks of production are 80 hours of production, then we need to store 80×500 = 40,000 units. At 864 units per 12 ft² of floor space, we need ceiling(40,000/864) = 47 spaces on the floor for storage boxes. That is ...

  47 × 12 ft² = 564 ft²

of warehouse floor space required for storage.

The table shows how many books the students in Bergdalsskolan list during the summer. There were 48 students who list 4 books. a
Juliette [100K]

Step 1:

First, find the total number of students.

Let the total number of students = m

Step 2:

Find the total number of students using the percentage of 4 books.

48 students listed 4 books with a percentage of 16%

\begin{gathered} 48\text{ = 16\% of m} \\ 48\text{ = }\frac{16}{100}\text{   }\times\text{  m} \\ 48\text{ = }\frac{16m}{100} \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ 16m\text{ = 48  }\times\text{  100} \\ 16m\text{ = 4800} \\ \text{m = }\frac{4800}{16} \\ \text{m = 300} \end{gathered}

Hence, there are 300 students.

a)

\begin{gathered} \text{Number of students that had 1 book = 24\% of 300} \\ =\text{ }\frac{24}{100}\text{  }\times\text{  300} \\ =\text{ }\frac{7200}{100} \\ =\text{ 72  students} \end{gathered}

72 students had 1 book.

b) What percentage more read 2 books than 4 books?

percentage that read 2 books = 36%

percentage that read 4 books = 16%

36 - 16 = 20%

There are 20% students that read 2 books than 4 books.
