Answer:

222 fence posts

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the log is 20 m long, correct to the nearest metre and has to be cut into fence posts which must be 90 cm long, correct to the nearest 10 centimetres, there can be x fence posts 90 cm long.

So, we have x × 90 cm = 20 m

x × 0.9 m = 20 m

x = 20 m/0.9 m

x = 222.22

x ≅ 222 fence posts

So, the largest number of fence posts that can possibly be cut from the log is 222 fence posts.

One person can do a certain job in 15 minutes and another person can do the same job in 30 minutes. How many minutes will it tak

Flauer [41]

Hello! Your answer is B, 10 minutes.

Say the x = minutes taken to do the job. You can set up an equation like this to solve this.

$\frac{1}{15} x + \frac{1}{30} x = 1$

This is representative of the situation. The fractions each represent how much each person does in a minute, and when they're multiplied by x, that's how much of the project they get done based off of the minutes they work together on the job. Add the two together, and you get how much of the project is finished in x amount of time. Set it equal to 1, as you are looking for 100% completion.

Once you have this equation, find a common denominator, add, and solve.

$\frac{1}{15} x + \frac{1}{30} x = 1$

$\frac{2}{30} x + \frac{1}{30} x = 1$
