Answer:

The plumber worked 50 hours, and his assistant worked 25 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a plumber and his assistant work together to replace the pipes in an old house, and the plumber charges $ 30 an hour for his own labor and $ 20 an hour for his assistant's labor, and the plumber works twice as long as his assistant on this job, and the labor charge on the final bill is $ 2000, to determine how long did the plumber and his assistant work on this job the following calculation must be performed:

40 x 30 + 20 x 20 = 1200 + 400 = 1600

50 x 30 + 25 x 20 = 1500 + 500 = 2000

Therefore, the plumber worked 50 hours, and his assistant worked 25 hours.

Which set of rational numbers is arranged from least to greatest? 1 over 5, −1.4, negative 1 over 2, 3 3, negative 1 over 2, −1.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Option 4 - -1.4,\ -\frac{1}{2},\ \frac{1}{5},\ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Which set of rational numbers is arranged from least to greatest?

Solution :

The set of rational numbers are

3,\ \frac{1}{5},\ -1.4,\ -\frac{1}{2}

Writing all number in one form,

\frac{1}{5}=0.2

-\frac{1}{2}=-0.5

Now, -1.4<-0.5<0.2<3

From least to greatest the set of natural numbers are

-1.4

So, -1.4,\ -\frac{1}{2},\ \frac{1}{5},\ 3

Therefore, option 4 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

x1 y1  x2 y2

1 1  -2 -11

   

(Y2-Y1) (-11)-(1)=   -12  ΔY -12

(X2-X1) (-2)-(1)=    -3  ΔX -3

   

slope= 4

Jason had $32. He spent all the money on buying 4 CDs for $x each and 2 magazines for $y each. If Jason had bought 5 CDs and 2 m
Leni [432]
You can set up two equations from the information given. I will set them up for you:

32 = 4x + 2y
36 = 5x + 2y

Let's solve the first equation to come up with a value for y.

32 = 4x + 2y
32 - 4x = 2y
16 - 2x = y

Now we plug y into the other equation.

36 = 5x + 2(16-2x)
36 = 5x + 32 - 4x
4 = x

Now we have our real x value and we can plug it into the first equation.

32 = 4(4) + 2y
32 = 16 + 2y
16 = 2y
8 = y

Since x = 4 and y = 8, you get the final coordinates of (4,8).

Your answer is the second statement provided above.
