A patrolman spends 25% every day completing paperwork. The patrolman’s shift each day is 8 hours. How much of his time does he s

fredd [130]

Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:

25% is the same as 1/4 of something.

So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.

You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.

If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.

Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:

If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).

That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.

***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***

Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).

So

25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%

If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:

2+2+2+2 = 8

It checks out!

Hope this helps!

Bryan has a square parcel of land that is 120 yards long and 120 yards wide. The land is planted with Bermuda grass and surround

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The diagonal fencing will be the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 120yds long so:

h=√2(120^2))

h=√28800 yd

And the surrounding fencing will just be four times the side length of 120yds so:

s=480yd

So the total fencing needed is:

f=480+√28800 yards

f≈649.71 yd (to nearest hundredth of a yard) which is

f≈650 yds (to nearest whole yard)

But, I wasn't sure, if they just want the diagonal fencing needed then it is just:

f=√28800

f≈170 yds (to nearest yard)

I need help with this question please

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

YES

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the total number of seats int he airplane.

14 + 64 + 4 * 108 = 510

The airplane has a total or 510 seats.

Half of the number of seats is 510/2 = 255.

Now let's calculate the number of seats being used and compare with 255.

5/7 * 14 + 5/16 * 64 + 5/9 * 4 * 108 =

= 2 * 5 + 4 * 5 + 12 * 4 * 5

= 10 + 20 + 240

= 270

270 seats are being used.

270 is greater than 255, so more than half of the seats are being used.

Write a list of 6 ordered pairs to show the height of the candle in inches (y) as a function of time in hours (x) from the first

Bumek [7]

A function assigns the values. The list of 6 ordered pairs to show the height of the candle inches are (1,8.5), (1,8), (1,7.5), (1,7), (1,6.5), and (1,6).

<h3>What is a Function?</h3>

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

The rate at which the candle burns down is 0.5 inches per hour. Now, if we substitute the value of the point (0,9) in the function of a line, and the rate as well, we will get,

y = mx +c

9 = -0.5(0) + c

c = 9

Now, the equation that can represent the height of the candle at any hour after it is lit will be,

y= -0.5x+9

substitute the value of x as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to get the value of y and form ordered pairs.

y=-0.5(1)+9 = 8.5 inches ⇒ (1,8.5)
y=-0.5(2)+9 = 8 inches ⇒ (1,8)
y=-0.5(3)+9 = 7.5 inches ⇒ (1,7.5)
y=-0.5(4)+9 = 7 inches ⇒ (1,7)
y=-0.5(5)+9 = 6.5 inches ⇒ (1,6.5)
y=-0.5(6)+9 = 6 inches ⇒ (1,6)

Hence, the list of 6 ordered pairs to show the height of the candle inches are (1,8.5), (1,8), (1,7.5), (1,7), (1,6.5), and (1,6).
