Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

If 36 boys can conplete a task in 4 hours, then 19.35 boys could do it in 2 and a fourth hours.

You can set up an equation

A fourth of an hour is 15 minutes, so,

36 is to 4 as x is to 2.15, or,

36=4 as X=2.15

Multiply 2.15 by 36 (77.4)

77.4 divided by 4= 19.35.

Of course, you cannot have 19.35 boys, so there must be 20.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

38°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of required angle can be obtained by using cosine law.

From the given triangle we find that:

a = 5, b = 3, c = 7,

Since,

cos (A) = (b^2 +c^2 - a^2) /2bc

Therefore,

cos (A) = (3^2 + 7^2 - 5^2) /(2*3*7)

cos (A) = (9 + 49 - 25) /(42)

cos (A) = (33) /(42)

cos (A) = 0.785714286

A = arccos(0.785714286)

A = 38.213210675°

A = 38°

Heron Island is a coral cay in the Great Barrier Reef. Around Heron Island (and elsewhere in Australia) there are 2 color morphs
kobusy [5.1K]

In case A, as the error would be a difference of 1, the assumption could be mantained, but in case B the difference will be bigger, showing that the ratio is not 3:1 but 4:1.

<h3><u>Ratios</u></h3>

Given that a preliminary study was carried out to test the hypothesis that the ratio of white to dark herons on the island was 3:1, but A) a small census found 16 white morphs and 4 dark, to determine if the assumption of a 3 :1 ratio could be rejected, and B) to determine the same question if the census were larger with 160 white morphs and 40 dark, the following calculations must be made:

A)

  • 3 + 1 = 4
  • 16 + 4 = 20
  • 4 = 20
  • 3 = X
  • 60 / 4 = X
  • 15 = X
  • Therefore, as the error would be a difference of 1, the assumption could be mantained.

B)

  • 3 + 1 = 4
  • 160 + 40 = 200
  • 150 = 3:1
  • In this case, the difference will be bigger, showing that the ratio is not 3:1 but 4:1.

The sides of a triangle are consecutive integers.if its perimeter is 126cm,find the lenghts of the sides.
Neko [114]
X + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 126
3x = 123
x = 41
So the sides are 41, 42 and 43

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

28.57

Step-by-step explanation:

3.14×0.5=1.750

50÷1.75=5000÷175 to eliminate the decimal points

5000÷175=28.571

then we round the answer to the nearest tenths

=28.57

Tom is the deli manager at a grocery store. He needs to schedule employees to staff the deli department at least 260 person-hour
marissa [1.9K]
If you would like to find the inequality to determine the number of full-time employees Tom must schedule, you can calculate this using the following steps:

n ... the number of full-time employees

260 <= 20 + n * 40
260 - 20 <= n * 40
240 <= n * 40
n >= 240/40
n >= 6 full-time employees

The correct result would be at least 6 full-time employees.
