100-0.0124=99.9876

10%=1/10
1/10P=P(0.999876)^t
divide both sides by P
1/10=0.999876^t
take ln of both sides
ln(1/10)=t (ln(0.999876))
divide both sides by (ln(0.999876))
ln(1/10)/(ln(0.999876))=t
use calculator
18568.08=t

Simplify the following expression, if you can see the picture the expression is as follows:
Kobotan [32]
\sqrt{40}=2 \sqrt{10} and \sqrt{90} = 3\sqrt{10}, so we have \sqrt{10}(2-1+3). which is 4 \sqrt{10}.

The velocity of a moving object, v, in meters per second, is given by the formula below. The variable is the kinetic energy of t
DENIUS [597]
Assuming the velocity is as written,
a = 3(2) = 6

If you meant 3(2t+1)⁰.⁴, then
a = 2.4/(2t+1)⁰.⁶

as usual,
s = 25 + 1/2 at²
= 25 + 3t² 
or
= 25 + 1.2(2t+1)¹.⁴

Matthew manages the packaging department of his company. Yesterday, the department operated for only 4 hours due to a company pi
yKpoI14uk [10]

Alright, lets get started.

If Matthew wants to complete packages at an average rate of at least 39 packages per hour.

And they worked 4 hrs only due to picnic, yesterday, it means they have to make 39*4 = 156 packages.

But they made only 112 packages means they are short of 156 - 112 = 44 packages.

Suppose they are working today t hrs, and his department will complete 43 packages per hour today.

It means they are going to make 43 t packages today.

This 43 t packages includes those 44 too , which they are short of yesterday due to picnic.

So, average will be

\frac{43 t - 44}{t} = 39 (39 average given in question)

Cross multiplying

39 t = 43 t - 44

Adding 44 in both sides

39 t + 44 = 43 t - 44 + 44

43 t = 39 t + 44

Subtracting 39 t in both sides

43 t - 39 t = 39 t + 44 - 39 t

4t = 44

Dividing 4 in both sides

t = 11 hrs

Hence they have to woth 11 hrs today : Answer

Hope it will help :)

If one worker can assemble 9 products per hour, and another worker can assemble 6 products per hour, how long will it take them
leva [86]

Answer:

  3 hours 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Together, the workers can assemble 9 + 6 = 15 products per hour. So the assembly of 50 products will take ...

  (50 products)/(15 products/hour) = 50/15 hours = 3 1/3 hours

The two workers can assemble 50 products in 3 1/3 hours.

Kira looked through online census information to determine the average number of people living in the homes in her city. What is
Goshia [24]
First we need to identify if the data is qualitative or quantitative.

The data is average number of people living in the homes.

Qualitative data as its name indicates is an attribute or characteristic. It can not be measured e.g color. Quantitative data is such a data which can be counted or measured.

Since the average number of people can be counted and measured, the data is Quantitative.

In an observational study the individuals are observed. In the given case, Kira did not observed the individuals to gather the data, rather she used an Online resource to gather the data.

Therefore, the correct answer will be:
Kira used published data that is quantitative.
