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.

goldenfox [79]

Answer: She spend $1.20 for lunch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount be 'x'.

Half of her money spend for lunch be $\dfrac{x}{2}$

Half of her money left for a movie be $\dfrac{x}{2}$

Amount she has now = $1.20

So, According to question, it becomes ,

$\dfrac{x}{2}=1.20\\\\x=1.20\times 2\\\\x=\$2.40$

Hence, Amount she spend for lunch is $\dfrac{x}{2}=\dfrac{2.40}{2}=\$1.20$

Therefore, she spend $1.20 for lunch.

fredd [130]

<span> the probability that she rolls an odd number AND and pulls a red chip

so it is = Prob(odd no) * Prob(red chip)

Prob(odd no) for a fair die = 1/2

Prob(red chip) = red chip / total chip = 2/(2+1) = 2/3

so the ans is 1/2 * 2/3 = 1/3

Levart [38]

The solution to the problem is as follows:

We have 2+.8(2) + .8(.8(2)) + .8(.8(.8(2))) + ... =

2( .8^0 + .8^1 + .8^2 + .8^3 + ... ) =

2(.8^n -1) / (.8-1) . As n-->infinity, .8^n-->0 giving us

<span>2(-1)/(-.2) = 2(5) = 10 meters.
