Answer:

4 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the rate of the machines 1/x, because every time they complete an order, it takes them x hours. To find x, we have to add the the rates of the individual machines, which would equal the rate of the machines working together. We know that there are four machines working together at the same rate, and it took them 32 hours.

So:

1/x + 1/x + 1/x + 1/x = 1/32

1/4x = 1/32

4x = 32

x = 8

Thus, the rate of the machines is 1/8.

Now we have to find the time of the order with only half of the machines working together. This time, we don't know the combined rate, so I'll substitute it for y.

1/8 + 1/8 = 1/y

1/4 = 1/y

y = 4

The time taken to complete it is 4 hours.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

She should order a total of 5,160 medium sized t-shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of medium sized t-shirt to be ordered, we shall be using the proportion of students that wanted medium sized t-shirt in her survey to multiply the total number of students that we have.

From the question, we can identify that the probability that a student will like a medium sized t-shirt is simply 129/300

Now we have about 12000 students in the University, using the probability from the survey, the number of medium sized t shirt she should order would be;

129/300 * 12,000 = 129 * 40 = 5,160 medium sized t-shirts
