<h3>Therefore she can cut 8 feet long log.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The lengths in feet of three pieces of timber are 48,72 and 40. The sawmill operator needs to cut the timber into logs of equal length with no waste.

The HCF of 48 , 72 and 40 is =8

Therefore she can cut 8 feet long log.

Abe,a plumber, charges $50 per hour plus $75 for making an in-home visit. The Plumbing Service charges $65 per hour but no set f
Rasek [7]
Steps:

let “x” be number of hrs
let “y” be total cost

Abe:

50x + 75 = y

Plumbing Service:

65x=y

Since both equations are equal to y, you can set them equal to each other.

65x = 50x + 75

isolate for x:

65x - 50x = 75
15x = 75
x = 5

therefore it will take 5 hours for each to cost the same. you should call Abe for any task more than 5 hours because it will be cheaper and you should call the Plumbing Service for any task less than 5 hours because it will be cheaper.

Kate deposits $800 in a bank
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

I=P\cdot r\cdot t,

where

I = interest

P = rpincipal

r = rate (as decimal)

t = time (in years)

In your case,

P = $800

r = 0.04 (4%)

t = 5,

so

I=\$800\cdot 0.04\cdot 5\\ \\I=\$160

A manager receives 8 applications for a specific position. She wants to narrow it down to 5. In how many ways can she rank 5 app
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

56 number of ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is a combination question since it involves selection.

Generally, if r objects are to be selected from n pool of objects, this can be done in nCr number of ways.

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

If a manager receives 8 applications for a specific position and wants to narrow it down to 5, the number of ways he can do this is 8C5

8C5 = 8!/(8-5)!5!

= 8!/3!5!

= 8*7*6*5!/3*2*5!

= 8*7*6/3*2

= 8*7

= 56 number of ways.

This means that the manager can rank 5 applications in 56 number of ways

If ray JG is an angle bisector of ∠FJH, find m∠FJH.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

m∠FJH=60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

JG bisects FJH, FJG= (2x + 4)° and GJH = (3x -9)°  

What is FJH

we know that

m∠FJH=m∠FJG+m∠GJH -----> equation A

If ray JG is an angle bisector of ∠FJH

then

m∠FJG=m∠GJH -----> equation B

substitute the given values in equation B and solve for x

(2x + 4)°=(3x -9)°

3x-2x=4+9

x=13

Find the measure of angle FJH

m∠FJH=(2x + 4)°+(3x -9)°

substitute the value of x

m∠FJH=(2(13) + 4)°+(3(13) -9)°

m∠FJH=(30)°+(30)°

m∠FJH=60°
