Answer:

5 teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the 15 members finished 1/3 of the job in 4 hours. When the teachers came they finished 2/3 of the job in 6 hours. So they finished 1/3 of the join in 3 hours of we simplify it.

4 hour: 15 minutes

3 hour: ?

15/3 x 4= 20 teaches. Then we do 20-15=5 because there were originally 15 members.

walnut grower estimates from past records that if 20 trees are planted per acre, then each tree will average 60 pounds of nuts p
laila [671]

Answer:

5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,

The maximum yield would be 1250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original number of trees per acre = 20,

Average pounds of nuts by a tree = 60,

Let x be the times of increment in number of trees,

So, the new number of trees planted per acre = 20 + x

∵ for each additional tree planted per acre, the average yield per tree drops 2 pounds,

So, the new number of pounds of nut = (60 - 2x)

Thus, the total yield per acre,

Y(x) = (20+x)(60-2x)

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

Y'(x) = (20+x)(-2) + 60 - 2x = -40 - 2x + 60 - 2x = 20 - 4x

Again differentiating with respect to t,

Y''(x) = -4

For maxima or minima,

Y'(x) = 0

⇒ 20 - 4x = 0

⇒ 20 = 4x

⇒ x = 5,

For x = 5, Y''(x) = negative,

Hence, Y(x) is maximum for x = 5,

And, maximum value of Y(x) = (20+5)(60 - 10) = 25(50) = 1250,

i.e. 5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,

and the maximum yield would be 1250 pounds

(1 point) Rework problem 15 in section 2 of Chapter 5 of your textbook about the growing suburb and the declining city using the
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of years. The suburb population is growing at a rate of 5000 per year after x years, it can be represented by the equation:

320000 + 5000x

The city population is declining at a rate of 14000 per year after x years, it can be represented by the equation:

624000 - 14000x

The number of years for the city and suburb population to be equal can be gotten from:

320000 + 5000x = 624000 - 14000x

14000x + 5000x = 624000 - 320000

19000x = 304000

x = 304000 / 19000

x = 16

In 16 years the populations of the suburb and the city be equal

14 T 1,000 lb. + 2 T 1,000
Olegator [25]

The answer will be 17 tons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

14 T 1,000 lb. + 2 T 1,000 lb.

As we know that

1\ ton=2000\ lbs\\\\14\ tons=2000\times 14\ lbs\\\\14\ tons=28000\ lbs

So, 14 T 1,000 lb. is given by

28000\ lbs+1000\ lbs\\\\=29000\ lbs

Similarly,

1\ ton=2000\ lbs\\\\2\Tons=2\times 2000\ lbs\\\\2\ tons=4000\ lbs

so,

2T 1,000 lb. is given by

4000+1000\\\\=5000\ lbs

So,  14 T 1,000 lb. + 2 T 1,000 lbs is given by

29000+5000\\\\=34000\ lbs\\\\=\frac{34000}{2000}\\\\=17\ tons

Hence, the answer will be 17 tons.
