The factory used to produce 126 articles a day. As a result of retooling, production increased to 189 articles a day. What was t

NARA [144]

Answer: The answer is 50%.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the factory produces 126 articles in a day. After retooling, the production of the articles increased and they started producing 189 articles in a day. We need to calculate the percent increase in labour productivity.

We have,

Percent Increase in labour productivity will be equal to the percent increase in the number of articles.

Increase in the number of articles after retooling = 189 - 126 = 63.

Therefore, percent increase in the number of articles is given by

$p=\dfrac{63}{126}\times 100\%=\dfrac{100}{2}\%=50\%.$

Thus, the labour productivity increased by 50%.

A pool has 2 pipes, one to fill and one to empty it. Ms.Charles wants to fill the pool, but she mistakenly turns on both pipes a

dolphi86 [110]

-- The filler pipe can fill 1/6 of the pool every hour.

-- The drainer pipe can drain 1/10 of the pool every hour.

-- When they're filling and draining at the same time, the filler pipe
will win eventually, because it finishes more of the pool in an hour
than what the drain pipe can finish in an hour.

-- When they're filling and draining at the same time, then every hour,
1/6 of the pool fills and 1/10 of it empties. The difference is (1/6) - (1/10).

To do that subtraction, we need a common denominator.
The smallest denominator that works is 30.

 1/6 = 5/30

 1/10 = 3/30 .

So in every hour, 5/30 of the pool fills, and 3/30 of the pool empties.
The result of both at the same time is that 2/30 = 1/15 fills each hour.

If nobody notices what's going on and closes the drain pipe, it will take
15 hours to fill the pool.

If the drain pipe had not been open, the filler pipe alone could have filled
the pool 2-1/2 times in that same 15 hours. With both pipes open,
1-1/2 pool's worth of water went straight down the drain during that time,
and it was wasted.

I would say that the school should take the cost of 1-1/2 poolsworth out
of Ms. Charles' pay at the rate of $5 a week. I would, but that would
guarantee her more job security than she deserves after pulling a stunt
like that.

I hope this did not take place in California.
