5 bricklayers can lay a total of 50 bricks in 30 minutes. How many bricklayers will

Mathematics

iragen [17]2 years ago

Answer:

First look at the number of bricks alone.

Going from 50 bricks to 60 bricks is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 60/50

Next look at the time alone.

Going from 30 minutes to 20 minutes is more work, thus it will require more people. The number of people would be the ratio of the 2. Since the number must be larger, you know the numerator must be the larger of the 2 numbers, so you get 30/20

Now you can just multiply everything.

= 5*60/50*30/20

= 5*6/5*3/2

= 90\10

= 9.

A new car is purchased for 22400 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 11% per year. To the nearest tenth of a year , how
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

t= 12.9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Value after t years = initial value ( 1 - r )^t

Where,

Value after t years= $5000

Initial value = $22,400

r= depreciation rate = 11%

t= length of time (years)

Value after t years = initial value ( 1 - r )^t

5000 = 22,400 ( 1 - 0.11)^t

5000 = 22,400(0.89)^t

Divide both sides by 22,400

(0.89)^t = 5000 / 22,400

(0.89)^t = 0.2232

Take the log of both sides

t log 0.89 = log 0.2232

t= log 0.2232 / log 0.89

= -0.6513 / -0.0506

= 12.87

t= 12.9 years

As a promotion, the first 50 customers who entered a certain store at a mall were asked to choose from one of two discounts. The
qaws [65]

Answer:

A) Yes, because P (F∩S) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

50 customers of a store were asked to choose between two discounts:

Discount 1: 20% off all purchases for the day.

Discount 2: 10% off all purchases for the week.

28 choose discount 1

22 choose discount 2

F: the selected person choose discount 1.

S: the selected person choose discount 2.

Two events are mutually exclusive when the occurrence of one of them prevents the other from occurring in one repetition of the trial and the intersection between these two events is void with zero probability of happening.

In this case, since the customers were asked to choose one out of the two events, if the customer chooses the first one, then he couldn't have chosen the second one and vice-versa. Then the intersection between these two events has zero probability, symbolically:

P(F∩S)=0

I hope it helps!

A quadratic pattern has a second term equal to 1,a third term equal to -16 and a fifth term equal to -14
chubhunter [2.5K]
Given are several terms in a quadratic pattern:

a1 = ?
a2 = 1
a3 = -16
a4 = ?
a5 = -14

let:

x       y
1       ?
2       1
3      -16
4       ?
5       -14

considering the 2nd term and 3rd term, we can determine a quadratic function:

y = -17x + 35

therefore,

a1 = 18
a4 = -33
