If Reducing 2 men will bbe enough too finish the work in 10 days

For rate of work use the formualar

rate of work = quantity of work / duration

10 men can do the work at a rate of = 1 / 8

x men can do same work at a rate of = 1 / 10

x * ( 1 / 8 ) = 10 * ( 1 / 10 )

x = 1 * 8 = 8

therefore 8 men can do the work in 10 days

number of men reduced = 10 men - 8 men = 2 men

The ratio of side lengths of a quadrilateral is 3 : 5 : 6 : 9, and its perimeter is 9.2cm. What is the length of the longest sid

wolverine [178]

Answer:

longest side=3.6

let ratio 3:5:6:9be 3x,5x,6xand9x

perimeter= sum of all side

9.2=3x+5x+6x+9x

9.2=23x

x=9.2÷23

x=0.4

9x=9×0.4=3.6

6x=6×0.4=2.4

5x=5×0.4=2

3x=3×0.4=1.2

Answer: £30.20

We can say, 4kg of copper is mixed with 1kg of Zinc to make 5 kg of brass.

So to make 7 kg of brass we need to find out how much kg is copper and zinc mixed. Just increase one kg in both the weight, 5kg of copper and 2kg of zinc makes it 7kg of brass. (Technical thinking)

Now that we know the proportions of the metals so find out the costs of each kg of it.

Copper: 1 kg costs £5

5kg costs- 5*5 --> £25

Zince: 1 kg costs £3.20

2kg costs- 3.20 * 2 --> £5.20

Now add them, £5.20 + £25 --> £30.20

So, the cost of 7kg of brass is £30.20

Cory makes a map of his favorite park, using a coordinate system with units of yards. The old oak tree is at position (3, 7) and

ololo11 [35]

Answer: 5.09 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Coordinates of Old oak tree are (3,7)

Coordinates of granite boulder are (-2,6)

Distance between them is given by distance formula i.e.

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Distance between them is

$\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{(-2-3)^2+(6-7)^2}\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-1)^2}\\\Rightarrow d=\sqrt{25+1}=\sqrt{26}\approx 5.09\ \text{units}$

Zach bought two new jet skis for $15,480. He will make 36 equal payments. How much will each payment be?

telo118 [61]

36x = 15480

x = 15480/36

x = 5160/12

x = 2580/6

x = 860/2

x = 430

Zach made equal payments of $430
