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

Parallelogram ABCD is dilated to form parallelogram EFGH. Side BC is proportional to side CD.
egoroff_w [7]
Side FG is proportional to side BC. When showing that two figures are similar, they should always be typed in the order of the points they correspond to. In this instance, ABCD ~ EFGH, meaning that AB ~ EF, BC ~ FG, CD ~ GH, and AD ~ EH. Let's use a simpler example, with similar triangles MNO and XYZ.

MNO ~ XYZ   Since the two triangles are written in this specific order, each side should be similar to the side in the same order on the other triangle.
MN ~ XY
NO ~ YZ
MO ~ XZ

Hope this helps!
