Answer: It will take 1.875 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that time t required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people working.

we have it expressed as

t∝1/N

where t is time  required to do a job

N is the number of people working.

Introducing our constant of proportionality, we have tht

t=k1/N

t=k/N

Now since it takes 5 hr for 3 cooks to prepare the food , K becomes

t=k/N

5=K/3

K=5X3=15

Given that there are 8 cooks, time required to prepare dinner will be

t=k/N

t=15/8

t=1.875 hours

Answer:

The hypotenuse to the nearest tenth is 8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

Let a be the x leg and b be the y leg

a = 7 units

b= 4 units

7^2 + 4^2 = c^2

49+ 16 = c^2

65 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(65) = sqrt(c^2)

8.062257748 =c

To the nearest tenth

8.1 =c

2 bags = 4 feeders
You need 40 feeders.
40 feeders (need to fill up) ÷ 4 (feeders per 2 bags) = 10
10 x 2 (bags) =
