We use unitary method over here. To find out the number pages he writes in 1 hour we should;
16÷8 = 2.
So Brennan writes 2 pages in 1 hour.
Hence, in 10 hours he writes;
2 × 10 = 20.
∴ in ten hours Brennan writes 20 pages.
Answer:
$2063.44
Step-by-step explanation:
1st week = $439.50
2nd and 3rd week = 62 hours and each hour = $22.79
Total amount earned in 2nd and 3rd week = 62 * 22.79 = $1412.98
4th week = 48% of what she earned in her first week = 48% of $439.50
4th week = (48 / 100) * 439.50 = $210.96
Total amount she earned = 1st week + 2nd & 3rd week + 4th week
Total amount = $439.50 + $1412.98 + $210.96
Total amount = $2063.44
She earned a total of $2063.44
When applying indirect proofs, we assume the negation of the conclusion is true, and show that this assumption would lead to nonsense, or contradiction.
In our case we assume a is not smaller than 7, that is we assume a≥7.
a≥7 then, multiplying both sides by 3:
3a≥21, then, adding both sides 7:
3a+7≥28,
which is a contradiction because 3a+7 is smaller than 28.
So our assumption is wrong, which means the opposite of it is correct.
Answer: assume a≥7
