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.

How many liters of wine can be held in a wine barrel whose capacity is 28.0 gal? 1 gal = 4 qt = 3.7854 l?

wel

Answer:

105.9912 liters of wine can be held in a wine barrel whose capacity is 28.0 gal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that the two ratios or fractions are equal.

Let x be the liters of wine can be held in a wine barrel whose capacity is 28.0 gal.

Given that:

1 gal = 3.7854 l

then

by definition of proportions;

$\frac{1}{3.7854} =\frac{28}{x}$

By cross multiply we get;

$x = 28 \times 3.7854 = 105.9912$ liters

Therefore, 105.9912 liters of wine can be held in a wine barrel whose capacity is 28.0 gal.

A fitted multiple regression equation is Y = 28 + 5X1 - 4X2 + 7X3 + 2X4. When X1 increases 2 units and X2 increases 2 units as w

ad-work [718]

Answer:

A. Increase by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a fitted multiple regression equation is

$Y = 28 + 5X_1 -4X_2 + 7X_3 + 2X_4$

This is a multiple regression line with dependent variable y and independent variables x1, x2, x3 and x4

The coefficients of independent variables represent the slope.

In other words the coefficients represent the rate of change of y when xi is changed by 1 unit.

Given that x3 and x4 remain unchanged and x1 increases by 2 and x2 by 2 units

Since slope of x1 is 5, we find for one unit change in x1 we can have 5 units change in y

i.e. for 2 units change in x1, we expect 10 units change in Y

Similarly for 2 units change in x2, we expect -2(4) units change in Y

Put together we have

$10-8 =2$ change in y

Since positive 2, there is an increase by 2

In a relay race, each runner completes the circuit 9 seconds faster than the previous one. If the first athlete runs his lap in

Alona [7]

Answer:

31 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have 8 competitors with the previous runner outrunning the present by 9 seconds

1st runner time = 4 minutes 37 seconds

2nd runner time = 4 minutes 37 seconds - 9 seconds = 4 minutes 28 seconds

3rd runner time = 4 minutes 28 seconds - 9 seconds = 4 minutes 19 seconds

4th runner time = 4 minutes 19 seconds - 9 seconds = 4 minutes 10 seconds

5th runner time = 4 minutes 10 seconds - 9 seconds = 4 minutes 1 second

6th runner time s= 4 minutes 1 second - 9 seconds = 3 minutes 52 seconds

7th runner time = 3 minutes 52 seconds - 9 seconds = 3 minutes 43 seconds

8th runner time = 3 minutes 43 seconds - 9 seconds = 3 minutes 34 seconds

The total time is the addition of all the times

For clarity sake, we shall be adding all the minutes together and all the seconds together;

That will be ;

(4 * 6) + 3 minutes + ( 34 + 43 + 52 + 1 + 10 + 19 + 28 + 37)

= 27 minutes + 224 seconds

We need to convert 224 seconds to minutes

Since 60 seconds make one minute; we have

224 - 60(3) = 3 minutes and 44 seconds

Let’s add this to the minutes we had before

That would be;

27 minutes + 3 minutes + 44 seconds

= 30 minutes 44 seconds

since 44 seconds is greater than 1/2 minute (30 seconds), we can approximate it to 1 minute

So the total time is 30 minutes + 1 minute = 31 minutes
