Answer:

5 men should be subtracted.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

As these measures(number of men needed and time) are inversely proportional, we multiply the lines instead of cross multiplication.

How many men should be working to complete the work in 32 days?

20 men - 24 days

x men - 32 days

Then

32x = 20*24

x = \frac{20*24}{32}

x = 15

How many men should be subtracted?

There are 20 to complete in 24 days.

15 are needed to complete in 32 days.

20 - 15 = 5

5 men should be subtracted.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 4x + 3 <= 3x - 5

Subtract 3 from both sides

4x + 3-3  <= 3x - 5 -3

4x  <= 3x - 8

Subtract 3x form both sides

4x - 3x <= 3x -3x - 8

x <= -8

What is 1/4 as a whole number?
wlad13 [49]

The whole number of \dfrac{1}{4} is \boxed{0.25}.

Further explanation:

Always use the PEDMAS rule to solve the grouping of multiplication, addition, subtraction and division.

Here, P is parenthesis, E is exponents, M is multiplication, D is division, A is addition and S is subtraction.

Given:

The number is \dfrac{1}{4}.

Explanation:

The whole numbers is the series of numbers that starts from zero.

The natural numbers are those numbers that start from one.

The place values are only natural numbers.

The base ten systems represent the position of a place value.

The given number is \dfrac{1}{4}.

Consider the number \dfrac{1}{4} as \text{A}.

A = \dfrac{1}{4}

Divide 1 by 4 to obtain the whole of \dfrac{1}{4}.

\begin{aligned}\text{A}&= \frac{1}{4}\\&= 0.25\\\end{aligned}

The decimal expansion of \dfrac{1}{4} is 0.25.

The whole number of \dfrac{1}{4} is \boxed{0.25}.
