Answer:

10 men can dig 1 hole in 10 days

How long for 5 men to dig ½ hole?

The ratio to be concerned with is

The perimeter of a rectangle swimming pool is 160 feet. The length of the swimming pool is four times its width . Find the dimen

Helga [31]

Formula for Perimeter of Rectangle:

P = 2(L + W)

Plug in 160:

160 = 2(L + W)

L = 4W
So we can plug in '4W' for 'L' in the first equation.
160 = 2(L + W)

160 = 2(4W + W)

Combine like terms:

160 = 2(5W)

160 = 10W

Divide 10 to both sides:

W = 16

Now we can plug this back into any of the two equations to find the length.

L = 4W

L = 4(16)

L = 64

So the width is 16, and the length is 64.

Answer: 11,544 pieces of candy are made per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Gallons of corn syrup used: 8
Pieces of candy produced: 1,776
gallons of corn syrup per hour: 52

If we apply proportions:

8 /1,776 = 52/x

Where x is the pieces of candy made per hour.

Solving

x = 52x1, 776 /8

x = 11,544

11,544 pieces of candy are made per hour.
