Bob, Bill, and Joe measured their heights. They figured out that the height of Bob is equal to b cm and he makes up 8/9 of the h

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Joe is 12 times taller than Bob

No the answer not rely on the meaning of b

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how the solve the problem

- The height of Bob is equal to b cm

- The height of Bob is 8/9 of the height of Bill

- Because 8/9 is less than one , then Bob is shorter than Bill

- The height of Bill makes up 3/32 of the height of Joe

* Lets write these information by mathematics relation

∵ The height of Bob is b

∵ The height of Bob is 8/9 height of Bill

∴ b = 8/9 the height of Bill

- Multiply both sides by 9

∴ 9 b = 8 the height of Bill

- Divide both sides by 8

∴ 9/8 b = the height of Bill

∴ The height of Bill is 9/8 b

∵ The height of Bill is 3/32 the height of Joe

∴ 9/8 b = 3/32 the height of Joe

- Multiply both sides by 32

∴ 36 b = 3 the height of Joe

- Divide both sides by 3

∴ 12 b = the height of Joe

∴ The height of Joe is 12 b

∵ b is the height of Bob

∴ The height of Joe is 12 times the height of Bob

∴ Joe is 12 times taller than Bob

- NO, the answer doesn't depend on b because the ratio between the

heights of Joe and Bob doesn't change by the change of b

6 tractors take 10days to collect the harvest. How long would it take 18 tractors to do the same amount of work?

Nutka1998 [239]

This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.

Therefore;
6 tractors ----- 10 days
18 tractors --- x days

Then,
x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.

This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.

Modern Vehicles Company came up with two different plans for the next financial year. Plan Y: Increase vehicle production by 5%

ladessa [460]

Answer: plan Y will produce more vehicles after 4 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Plan Y: Increase vehicle production by 5% every year. It means that the rate of production is in geometric progression. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Where

n represents the number of term(years) in the sequence.

a represents the first term(number of vehicles in the present year) in the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

From the information given,

a = 10000

r = 1 + 5/100 = 1.05

n = 4 years

Therefore, the sum of the vehicles produced in the first 4 years, S4 is

S4 = (10000 × 1.05^(4) - 1)/1.05 - 1

S4 = (10000 × 0.21550625)/0.05

S4 = 2155.0625/0.05

S4 = 43101 vehicles

2) Plan Z: Increase production by 300 vehicles every year. It means that the rate of production is in geometric progression. The formula for determining the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Sn = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]

Where

n represents the number of terms in the arithmetic sequence.

d represents the common difference of the terms in the arithmetic sequence.

a represents the first term of the arithmetic sequence.

From the information given,

n = 4 years

a = 10000

d = 300

Therefore, the sum of the first 4 terms, S4 would be

S4 = 4/2[10000 × 2 + (4 - 1)300]

S4 = 2[20000 + (3)300]

S4 = 2 × 20900

S4 = 41800 vehicles
