Based on the ratios given, the number of people in each service is 8000 in the army, 16000 in the navy and 24000 in the air force.

<h3>What is the number of people in each service?</h3>

Given that 48000 people are in the defence services.

The defence services comprises of the army, navy and air force.

  • The defence services are in the ratio 1:2:3

To determine the number of people in each service:

Total ratio = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

  • Number of people in each service = each service ratio/total ratio × 48000

Number in army = 1/6 × 48000 = 8000 persons

Number in Navy = 2/6 × 48000 = 16000 persons

Number in air force = 3/6 × 48000 = 24000 persons

Therefore, the number of people in each service is 8000 in the army, 16000 in the navy and 24000 on the air force.

The area of this rectangle is given by the quadratic function
Sonja [21]

<em>The function uses W as the variable but the options show only x's as the variable, so I'm asumming W in the answer</em>

Answer:

0 < W < 50

Correct option: A

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Domain of functions</u>

Some functions have restricted values of the independent variable x. It can be due to mathematical restrictions, like dividing by 0 or taking the square root of a negative number, of it can be due to practical conditions of the situation being modeled.

In this case, the area of a rectangle is given by the quadratic function.

A=50W - W^2

Since the area of a rectangle cannot be negative (and should be positive, though it could be zero), the practical domain of A is determined when

50W - W^2\geq 0

Taking common factor W

W(50 - W)\geq 0

Since W must be positive W>0

50 - W\geq 0

Or equivalently

50 \geq W

W \leq 50

The total interval is

0 < W

Correct option: A

Please note: The real restriction should be

0 < W\leq 50

if we allowed the area to be positive, but I'm providing the most possible correct available option

the scale on the map is 1 cm : 80 km . if two cities are 4 cm apart on the map, what is the actual distance between the cities?
jarptica [38.1K]

Hello there! Your answer would be '<em>the actual distance between the cities is 320 kilometers</em>'.


Okay, so to solve this, we can use unit rates. We know that for every one centimeter we have eighty kilometers. So, whatever we multiply the centimeter value by, we can multiply the kilometer value by the same number and get our answer.

So if the centimeter value is 4, multiply the kilometer value by 4.

80 x 4 = 320

This means that the cities are 320 kilometers apart, and you have your answer!

Hope this helps, and have a great day!
