Suppose that 5 workers can complete a certain task in 9 days. If there are 15 workers, how many days would

Answer:

3 days would take the 15 workers to finish the same task

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In the questions of doing a job, the number of workers and the time are in an inverse proportional because if the number of workers is increased, then the time of finishing the job will decrease and vice versa
  • The relation between the number of workers and the time to finish any job is N × T = K, where, N is the number of workers, T is the time to finish the job, and K is constant

Let us use this relation to solve the question

∵ 5 workers can complete a certain task in 9 days

∴ N = 5 workers and T = 9 days

→ By using the relation above

∴ 5 × 9 = k ⇒ (1)

∵ If there are 15 workers will make the same task

∵ They can finish it in x days

∴ N = 15 workers and T = x days

→ By using the relation above

∴ 15 × x = k ⇒ (2)

∵ k is the same task, then equate the left sides of (1) and (2)

∴ 15 × x = 5 × 9

∴ 15x = 45

→ Divide both sides by 15 to find x

∴ x = 3 days

∴ 3 days would take the 15 workers to finish the same task

The length of a rectangle is 3ft more than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 54ft^2. Find the dimensions of the
777dan777 [17]

Answer: Let length = 2x + 3

Let width = x

Area = 54 ft2

length × width = Area

x(2x + 3) = 54

2x2 + 3x = 54

2x2 + 3x - 54 = 0

(2x - 9)(x + 6) = 0

x = 9/2 and x = -6

x = 4.5 and x = -6

We accept x = 4.5 because length cannot be a negative value. Substituting this value into the dimensions:

width = 4.5 ft

length = 2(4.5) + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12 ft

Question 5:
 the circumference is given by:
 C = 2 * pi * r
 Where,
 r: radio of the ball
 Substituting values we have:
 22 = 2 * pi * r
 Clearing r we have:
 r = 11 / pi
 The surface area is given by:
 A = 4 * pi * r ^ 2
 Substituting values we have:
 A = 4 * 3.14 * (11 / 3.14) ^ 2
 A = 154 in ^ 2
 Answer:
 
The surface area of the balloon is:
 
A = 154 in ^ 2

 Question 8:
 For this case we have that the scale factor is given by:
 V1 = (k ^ 3) * V2
 Substituting values we have:
 729 = (k ^ 3) * 2744
 Clearing k:
 k = (729/2744) ^ (1/3)
 k = 9/14
 Answer:
 the scale factor of a cube with volume 729 m ^ 3 to a cube with volume 2,744 m ^ 3 is:
 9:14

 Question 2:
 The volume of the cylinder is given by:
 V = pi * r ^ 2 * h
 Where,
 r : radio
 h: height
 Substituting values:
 V = pi * (2.8) ^ 2 * (13)
 V = 101.92 * pi
 Answer:
 
The volume of the cylinder is:
 
V = 101.92 * pi

The weekly earnings of students in one age group are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 47 dollars. A researcher
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Option D) 340

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = $47

Margin of error = 5

95% Confidence Interval:

\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

\text{Margin of error} = z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

5 = 1.96(\dfrac{47}{\sqrt{n}} )\\\\\sqrt{n} = \dfrac{47\times 1.96}{5}\\\\n = 339.443776\\\Rightarrow n \approx 340

Thus, the correct answer is

Option D) 340
