Answer:

8 people

Step-by-step explanation:

3 people to do the job in 16 hours so each of the people will mow 1/3 of the lawn during the 16 hours.

So if was a single person was mowing the lawn would take them 3 times longer 16*3 =48 hours

To mow the lawn in 6 hours will need 48 hours to be split in 6 hours so will get 48/6 = 8 people.

Jasmine has 3 and 3/8 pound of Turkey meat she is making 1/3 pound Turkey burgers does Jasmine have enough meat to make 12 Turke

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this you have to divide 3 and 3/8 by 1/3. The easiest way to do this without a calculator is to do this separately. First divide 3 by 1/3. When dividing fractions, the second number is flipped upside down and the two numbers are multiplied. From 3 pounds, Jasmine will be able to make nine 1/3 pound burgers.

3 ÷ 1/3 = 3 × 3/1 = 9

Next, divide 3/8 by 1/3. From 3/8 pounds, Jasmine will be able to make 1 1/8 burgers

3/8 ÷ 1/3 = 3/8 × 3/1 = 9/8 = 1 1/8

Add the two numbers together.

9 + 1 1/8 = 10 1/8

This is less than 12.

56. Suppose you wish to make a scale drawing of your living room,

Deffense [45]

Answer: $8.33\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the longer side of your living room is 25 feet and the shorter side of your living room is 18 feet.

Then, knowing that in the scale drawing the shorter side is 6 inches, you can say that the scale factor is:

$scale\ factor=\frac{18}{6}\\\\scale\ factor=3$

Let be "x" the longer side of the scale drawing in inches.

In order to find it, you must divide the actual longer side of you living room by the scale factor calculated above. Then you get:

$x=\frac{25}{3}\\\\x=8.33\ in$

F(x)=√(10-3x) find the formula

Otrada [13]

Let y=f(x)
y=sqrt(10-3x)
you want to make x the subject

square both sides
y²=10-3x
3x=10-y²
x=(10-y²)/3

now replace y with x
f^-1(x)=(10-x²)/3
