Mathematics

alexgriva [62]3 years ago

Answer:

Hence it will take 35hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time it took to dig hole be x

Ley the number of holes be n

Using the relationship x = kn (direct relationship)

if it takes 3 men 5 hours to dig 12 holes, hence;

when x = 5, n = 12

k = x/n

k = 5/12

To get how many hours it take for 3 men to dig 84 holes, then;

when n = 84, x = ?

x = 5/12 * 84

x = 5 * 7

x = 35hours

Hence it will take 35hours

Find the exact circumference of a circle with the given radius. 5 inches C = 2.5π in. 10π in. 25π in.
docker41 [41]
The circumference, C, of a given circle may be calculated through the equation,
         
                                   C = 2πr

where r is the radius. 

Substituting the known values from the given in this item,
                                    C = 2(π)(5 in)
                                    <em>C = 10π in</em>

Thus, the answer is this item is the second choice.

A certain pickup truck gets 20mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. If the driver drives 270 mi on 11 gal of gas, determine
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

95 city and 175 highway miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The driver gets 20 mpg in city, and 28 mpg on the highway.

An equation that could be written is

20x+28y=270

This equation accounts for the distance traveled.

x+y=11

This equotion accounts for how many gallons were driven.

Multiply the bottom equation by 20, so you can solve the set of equations.

20x+28y=270

20x+20y=220

subtract them

8y=50

y=6.25

now plug this back into x+y=11

x+6.25=11

x=4.75

Now 4.75×20=95 city miles and 6.25×28=175 highway miles.

Mark wants to improve his free throw percentage in basketball He has shot 1,250 free throws over the last 20 days. He shot eithe
Sedaia [141]
Let's use a for number of days when he shot 50 shots and b for number of days when he shot 100 shots.
We have:
a + b = 20

We also know that he shot total of 1250 shots:
50a + 100 b = 1250

We have two equations. We can solve them for a and b.  Let's rearange first equation for a:
a= 20 - b
We insert this into second equation:
50 * (20 - b ) + 100b = 1250
1000 - 50b + 100b = 1250
50b = 250
b = 5
a = 20 - 5
a = 15

Mark shot 100 shots on 5 days.

PLEASE ANSWER + BRAINLIEST!!!!
Verizon [17]

Answer: 2526 dollars

=============================

Work Shown:

Plug n = 400,000 into the function and simplify

f(n) = 939 + 5.29*(n-100,000)/(1,000)

f(400,000) = 939 + 5.29*(400,000-100,000)/(1,000)

f(400,000) = 939 + 5.29*(300,000)/(1,000)

f(400,000) = 939 + 5.29*(300)

f(400,000) = 939 + 1,587

f(400,000) = 2526
