The time to complete a project is inversely proportional to number of people who are doing the project. A certain project can be

completed by 5 workers in 24 days. In order to finish the project sooner, the company plans to hire additional workers. How many workers are needed to finish the project in 15 days?

t=\frac{k}{w}
where t is the required time to complete the project, k is a constant of proportionality, and w is the number of workers.
Plugging the given values into the equation, we get:
24=\frac{k}{5}
which gives k = 120.
If the required time to complete the project is 15 days, the equation becomes:
15=\frac{120}{w}
Solving for w, gives w = 120/15 = 8 workers.

Math-- Farmer Bill has 500 meters of fencing and wants to enclose a rectangular plot that borders on a river. If farmer Bill doe
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Required dimensions of the rectangle are L = 200 m, W  = 100 m

The  largest area that can be enclosed is 20,000 sq m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The available length of the fencing = 500 m

Now, Perimeter of a rectangle = SUM OF ALL SIDES  = 2(L+B)

But, here once side of the rectangle is NOT FENCED.

So, the required perimeter  

= Perimeter of Complete field - Boundary of 1 open side

= 2(L+ W)   - L  = 2W + L

Now, fencing is given as 500 m

⇒  2W + L  = 500

Now, to maximize the length and width:

put L = 200, W = 100

we get 2(W) +L =  2(200) + 100 = 500 m

Hence, required dimensions of the rectangle are L = 200 m, W  = 100 m

The maximized area = Length x Width

                                   = 200 m x 100  m = 20, 000 sq m

Hence, the  largest area that can be enclosed is 20,000 sq m.
