If 12 workers can dig a tunnel in 100 days, how long will it take 20 workers to dig the tunnel

Paraphin [41]2 years ago

Answer:

60 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is  a proportion question. You compare two ratios. Unfortunately it is an inverse ratio.

12 = k/100                   Multiply both sides by 100

1200 = k

20 = k/x                       Multiply both sides by x

20x = k

20x = 1200                 Divide by 20

20x/20 = 1200/20

x = 60 days.  

An inverse proportion works by making a constant k. The  constant k makes the days shorter when the number of people increases. You should expect that. More people , less time.

Answer:

V = 82,406.16 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere

V = 4πr³/3

V = 4•3.14•27³/3

V = 247,218.48/3

V = 82,406.16 cm³

<h3>Answer:    y = (3/2)x + 0</h3>

This is the same as  y = (3/2)x

=============================================================

Work Shown:

Find the slope of the line through (x1,y1) = (-2,-3) and (x2,y2) = (2,3)

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (3 - (-3))/(2 - (-2))

m = (3 + 3)/(2 + 2)

m = 6/4

m = 3/2

The slope is the fraction 3/2. This is going to be in front of the x, or to the left of the x.

----------

Plug m = 3/2 and (x1,y1) = (-2,-3) into the point slope formula. Solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-3) = (3/2)(x - (-2))

y + 3 = (3/2)(x + 2)

y + 3 = (3/2)x + (3/2)(2)

y + 3 = (3/2)*x + 3

y + 3 - 3 = (3/2)*x + 3 - 3

y = (3/2)x + 0

The y intercept is zero. This matches up with the fact the graph crosses the y axis at y = 0.
