Answer:

  • 3/4 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the capacity of the bin is x gallons.

1/2 gallon is 2/3 of x

<u>Convert this into equation and solve for x:</u>

  • 1/2 = 2/3x
  • x = 1/2 : 2/3
  • x = 1/2 * 3/2
  • x = 3/4

3/4 gallons of water will fill the bin

It took 20,000 workers to build the Taj Mahal in 20 years. How many workers would be required to build it in 10 years?
omeli [17]

Answer:

40,000 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

This question deals with simple rates proportion.

If it takes 20 years for X workers to complete a job,

if we double the amount of workers, we will take half the time.

hence to halve the time from 20 years to 10 years, we will need to double the amount of workers.

In this case we will need 20,000 workers x 2 = 40,000 workers

The cost of petrol rises by 2 cents a liter. Last week a man bought 20 liters at the old price. This week he bought 10 liters at
In-s [12.5K]

Answer: the old price for 1 liter is $0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the old price for 1 liter of petrol.

Last week a man bought 20 liters at the old price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 20 liters is 20x.

The cost of petrol rises by 2 cents a liter. This means that the new price per liter is x + 2/100 = x + 0.02

This week he bought 10 liters at the new price. This means that the total amount that the man paid for 10 liters is

10(x + 0.02)

= 10x + 0.2

Altogether, the petrol costs $9.20. This means that

20x + 10x + 0.2 = 9.2

30x + 0.2 = 9.2

30x = 9.2 - 0.2

30x = 9

x = 9/30

x = 0.3
