Answer:

No multiplying both quantities in the ratio 60 : 36 by 1  would not give the answer .

But multiplying both quantities in the ratio 60 : 36 by 1/6  would solve it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying any number or ratio by 1 gives the same answer no matter what the expression or how much bigger the number is.This will not give the solution .

If it is multiplied with a fraction like 1/6  that would give the correct answer.

Multiplying it with 1/6 reduces the ratio and gives a better estimate.

A:B

60:36

60*1/6: 36*1/6

10: 6

Meaning that for a total of 16 there are 10 of category A and 6 of category B.

But if we do the same procedure with the answer is same which does not solve the question.

A:B

60:36

60*1: 36*1

60: 36

Which of the following is a correct way to measure productivity? a. Divide the number of hours worked by the quantity of output.
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

b. Divide the quantity of output by the number of hours worked.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Since the ratio of the number of output to the number of hours worked shows the productivity. </em>

Thus, option (b) is correct.

Productivity is used to converting inputs into useful output. It measures the efficiency of a person, system, machine, factory, etc.

For Example: The employee who works less hours and assembled more radios has more productivity, that employee knows how to utilize time.

Mila [183]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Option b. just below 30%</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Explanation:

Please, see attached the <em>histogram that represents the distribution of acceptance rates (percent accepted) among 25 business schools in 2004. </em>

<em />

The<em> median</em> is the value that separates the lower 50% from the upper 50% of the data.

Since there are 25 business schools, the middle value is the number 13.

The height of each bar is the<em> frequency</em> or number of business school for that acceptace rate:

  • The first bar has frequency of 1 school
  • The second bar has frequency of 3 schools: cummulative frequency: 1+3=4.
  • The third bar has frequency 5 schools: cummulative frequency 4 + 5 = 9.
  • The fourth bar has frequency 3 schools: cummulative frequency: 9+3=12.

Then, the 13th value is on the next bar, the fifth bar.

The fifth bar has acceptance rates 25  ≤ rate < 30.

That means that the median acceptance rate is greater than or equal to 25 and less than 30.

Thus, the choice is the option <em>b. just below 30%.</em>

A piece of rubber tubing maintains a cylindrical shape as it is stretched. At the instant that the inner radius of the tube is 2
professor190 [17]

Answer:

the rate of change in volume is dV/dt = 4π mm³/s = 12.56 mm³/s

Step-by-step explanation:

since the volume V of a cylinder is related with the height H and the radius R through:

V = πR²*H

then the change in time is given by the derivative with respect to time t

dV/dt = (∂V/∂R)*(dR/dt) + (∂V/∂H)*(dH/dt)

the change in volume with radius at constant height is

(∂V/∂R) = 2*πR*H

the change in volume with height at constant radius is

(∂V/∂H) = πR²

then

dV/dt = 2π*R*H *(dR/dt) + πR²*(dH/dt)

replacing values

dV/dt = 2π* 2 mm * 20 mm  * (-0.1 mm/s) + π (2 mm) ²* 3 mm/s = 4π mm³/s

dV/dt = 4π mm³/s = 12.56 mm³/s

A dolphin is 42 feet underwater and ascends at a constant rate for 14 seconds until it reaches the surface. Identify and interpr
Cloud [144]
Ok so, based on the graph lets say that x = seconds and  y = depth of dolphin. the interception in both points is when they are at 0 i.e when x is equals 0 and y equals 0. So At 0 seconds, the dolphin is 42 feet below the surface. So we say that x = 0, y = -42 and then the y intercepts = -42 so the point of interception is(0 (seconds),-42(depth of the dolphin)) When the clock says it's 14 seconds, the dolphin is even with the surface (0 below the surface this time). So we say that x = 14, y = 0. In this case The x intercept = 14 (14,0). But we need to calculate The slope with the formula= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = 42/14 = 3. Therefore, the formula for this line is y = 3x - 42.
