Answer:

36 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of women to men working at a grocery store is 4 to 5.

The ratio =

Women : Men

4 : 5

The sum of the proportion is 4 + 5 = 9

There are 16 women working at the store .

Let us represent the total number of people working at a grocery store as x

Hence:

4/9 of x = 16 women

4/9 × x = 16

4x/9 = 16

Cross Multiply

4x = 16 × 9

x = 16 × 9/4

x = 36 people

The total number of people working in the grocery store is 36 people

A square has an area that is less than 100m^2. What is a reasonable range for the graph of the square side?
bezimeni [28]
The area of the square is obtained by taking the square of the length of one side. Since it is said that the area of the square is less than 100 m^2, taking the square root of that where: sqrt (100) = 10, the side of that square should be less than 10 as well. Among the choices, D. 0 <y <10 (where y = length of side of square) is the correct answer.
