Answer:

32 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

For 150 people, waiting time = 20 minutes

So, for 1 minute waiting time, number of people = 150 ÷ 20

= 7.5 people per minute

So, for 240 people, waiting time = 240 ÷ 7.5

= 32 minutes.

So, the waiting time when 240 people are in line is 32 minutes.

Answer: The waiting time will be 32 minutes when 240 people in line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the waiting time is directly proportional to the number of people in the queue.

Equation of direct proportion between variables x and y :  \dfrac{x_1}{y_1}=\dfrac{x_2}{y_2}

Put x_1=20,\ y_1=150,\ y_2=150  to find  x_2.

\dfrac{20}{150}=\dfrac{x_2}{240}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=\dfrac{20}{150}\times240\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=32

Hence, the waiting time will be 32 minutes when 240 people in line.

A highway engineer specifies that a certain section of roadway covering a horizontal distance of 2km should have a downgrade of
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

0.16km

Step-by-step explanation:

A highway engineer wants to compute  the change in elevation of a section of road. The horizontal distance of this section of road is 2km and downgrade is 8%

The slope formula is given by

m=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{x}{y}

m = 8% = 8/100

run = y = 2km

m =\frac{x}{y}

\frac{8}{100} =\frac{x}{2}

\frac{2*8}{100} =x

x=\frac{16}{100} =0.16km

Verification:

m=\frac{0.16}{2}= 0.08=8%%

You can either do;


1. 90(2) = 100(2)

180 = 200


In 3 minutes, they can write 200 words. So now we can divide by 3.

3/3 = 1 minute

200/3 ≈ 66.666


or


2. 90/3 = 30 secs

100/3 ≈ 33.333


30(2) = 1 minute

33.333(2) ≈ 66.666


Either way, the admin assistant can write 67 words per minute. (Rounded to the nearest whole)
