Answer:

The smallest number is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=24---equation 1

x-y=¹/6×24=>x-y=4---equation 2

Add both equations

2x=28

x=14

put x=14 into equation 1

14+y=24

y=24-14=10

The tolerance for a plank of wood at a factory is 3 yd + 0.002 yd. Which of the following
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

3.012 Yards

If that is an answer choice (which I suppose it is, as I have the sme question).

I will explain why:

Firstly the answer choices (A: 2.998, B. 3.001, C: 2.999) all fall below 3.002 yards, even though they aren't enough, it is still within a reasonable range, far closer to 3.002 than 3.012. Therefore, It would be your answer!~

Aleksandr-060686 [28]
It is important to read the question very carefully. The trick lies in the way the question is written. Once it is understood, then the problem is easy.
Number of persons required to rearrange the floor plans in 1 hour = 42
Number of persons required to rearrange the floor plans in 9 hours = 42 * 9
                                                                                                             = 378 hours
So it will take 378 hours by 9 persons to rearrange the floor. I hope this is the answer you were looking for and the procedure is also clear to you. Once you understand the procedure, you can attempt such problems on your own in future.
