A contractor construct to build a house in 30 days. He employed 10 men to build the house. After 20 days. They completed only 1 /3 of the total work. How many more men will be required to finish the remaining work within due time?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can say that because the men do 1/3 of the work in 20 days,

for 10 men:

20 days = 1/3 total work

Because we need the house built in 30 days, and 20 days have already passed, we only have 30-20=10 days left. Furthermore, 20/2=10, so in our equation of 20 days = 1/3 total work, we can divide both sides by 2 to get

10 days = 1/6 total work

The amount of work we need to get done in 10 days is (all of it) - (1/3 of total work) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 = 4/6

Since 10 men can do 1/6 of the work in 10 days, 10*4 =40 men can do 1/6 * 4 = 4/6 of the work in 10 days. This is the amount of work that needs to get done. Therefore, the contractor needs 40 (total workers) - 10 (current workers) = 30 new workers to finish the remaining work in due time

Graph the following equations by plotting 3 points and then connecting the points to form a line. Show your work to find the 3 points and then list the ordered pairs you used as part of your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The way I would tackle these types of problems would be to make a table, then graph the points using the results I get.

Step-by-step explanation:

So explaining the table is kinda hard since I suck at explaining, so I've attached a file showing the table I've made for number 1.

First Step:

Make the table. Make it a 3x4 table. For the top row, put y, the equation (I put 'y=2x' as shown in number 1), then x. Then for the left column, go down by one box, then put: -1, 0, 1. Really, you can put any numbers, but to make it easy for yourself, just write the numbers I've listed. These will be your y-values you'll be substituting.

Second Step:

a.) Plugging in the numbers. For the middle column, I've put down y=2x in each box, as shown in my table. Then for each of those boxes, plug in the numbers to the left of them and substitute them for the y-value. For example, look at the second row. The left box has '-1', so I replaced the 'y' in the equation and got '(-1)=2x'.

b.) After substituting the y-values, solve for x. For this case, you'll need to divide both sides by 2. If it doesn't make much sense, think about a seesaw. If you have 5 pounds on both sides, the seesaw will stay balanced. Add an additional 5 pounds to one side, then the seesaw will start tipping towards the heavier sides. So in order to keep an equation balanced, you must do any action to both sides of the equation. After diving both sides by 2, you'll get the value for x.

Final Step:

After finding the x-values for each of the y-values, it's time to graph the equations. Remember, x is left to right and y is down to up. To graph them, let's use the second row for example. y=-1 and x=-0.5. So all you need to do is to start from the origin (0,0), then go half a unit to the left, as x is negative, then go a unit down, as y is negative, then make a point. The rest should be pretty straight forward.

After making all three points, just get a ruler or any straight edge, then align it along those three points, then just make a line, and boom! You've solved number 1! For the purpose of saving my time, I'm pretty sure you can solve the rest using what I've just told you. Good luck!

Answers

Given:

The sequence is:

-3, 5, -7, 9, -11,...

To find:

The correct statement about the given sequence.

Solution:

We have,

-3, 5, -7, 9, -11,...

Here, "..." means there are more terms in the sequence. So, the sequence has more than 5 terms and option A is incorrect.

From the given sequence it is clear that the 4th term is 9. So, option B is correct.

Clearly, 5th terms is -11. So, [tex]f(5)=-11[/tex] and option C is incorrect.

The domain of a sequence is always the set of natural numbers. So, option D is correct.

In the given sequence the 4th term is 9. It means the point (4,9) lies on the graph of the sequence. So, option E is correct.

Therefore, the correct options are B, D, E.

Use elimination to solve the system 4x + 7y = –14 and 8x + 5y = 8 for x. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

X= 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply first equation by -2 and second equation by 1

-2(4x+7y=-14)

1(8x+5y= 8)

= -8x -14y =28

8x+5y=8

Add these equations to eliminate X:

-9y=36

-9y/-9 = 36/-9

y=- 4

Plug in Y to find X

4x + 7y = -14

4x+7(-4) = -14

4x-28+28= -14+28

4x= 14

X= 7/2

A man earned $3000 the first year he worked. If he received a raise of $600 at the end of each year, what was his salary during the 15th year?

A) $8400
B) None of these
C) $11,400
D) $12,000

Answers

Answer:

$11,400

Step-by-step explanation:

3,000+14(600)=11,400

We know that it expands by $600 a year and we are looking for the salary during the 15th year.  During the 15th year, it could be using the salary of the 14th year since it is during not after.  We then add that to the base salary of $3,000 so then we have $11,400.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

x^2 – 30x = –125

-30/2 = -15

(-15)^2 = 225

Step 2

x^2 -30x+225 = -125+225

(x-15)^2 = 100

Step 3

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-15)^2) = sqrt(100)

Step 4

x-15 = ±10

x-15 =10    x-15 = -10

x= 10+15    x = -10 +15

x = 25      x = 5

The cost price of an electric fan is Rs. 2800. If the shopkeeper marks its price 30℅ above the cost price and sells it at 10℅ discount, how much should a customer pay for it with 15℅ VAT?

Answers

Answer:

The customer will pay along with VAT = Rs 3767.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of an electric fan = 2800

Pirce after 30% above the cost price = 2800 + (30% of 2800 = 3640

Selling price after 10% discount = 3640 - (10% of 3640) = 3276

Now 15% VAT = 3276 x 15%

15% VAT = 491.4

The customer will pay along with VAT = 3276 + 491.4  

The customer will pay along with VAT = Rs 3767.4

Chris rents a car for a total of £375. The rental charges are £150 for the first day and £75 per day after that. For how many days did Chris rent the car? You must show your working.

£375.00 - £150.00 = £225.00

£225.00 - £75.00 = £150.00

£150.00 - £75.00 = £75.00

£75.00 - £75.00 = £00.00

= Chris rented the car for 4 days

225.00 ÷ 75 = 3

3 days + 1 days = 4 days

he total charges can be modeled by ...

c = 75d + 75 . . . . . . charges for d days

Filling in the given charge, we find ...

375 = 75d +75

300 = 75d . . . . . . . subtract 75
