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

Convert the angle 0=17pi over 18 radians to degree
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

170°

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from radians to degrees

degree measure = radian measure × \frac{180}{\pi } , thus

degree = \frac{17\pi }{18} × \frac{180}{\pi }

Cancel π on numerator/denominator and 18/ 180 by 18

degree measure = = 17 × 10 = 170°

A line goes through the point (6,-2) and has a slope of -3. What is the value of a if the point (a,7) lies on the line?​
Vikki [24]

Answer:

<h2>a = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1}  \\

From the question the slope is - 3

To find the value of a we have

- 3 =  \frac{7 -  - 2}{a - 6}  \\  - 3 =  \frac{7 + 2}{a - 6}  \\  - 3(a - 6) = 9 \\  - 3a + 18 = 9 \\  - 3a = 9 - 18 \\  - 3a =  - 9

Divide both sides by - 3

\frac{ - 3a}{ - 3}  =  \frac{ - 9}{ - 3}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>a = 3</h3>

Hope this helps you
