The larger number=x
the smaller number=(x-10)
We have to solve this equation:
x+(x-10)=64
2x-10=64
2x=64+10
2x=74
x=74/2
x=37

the larger number=x=37
the smaller number=(x-10)=37-10=27

answer: the numbers are 27 and 37

bija089 [108]

Given that, according to sanitation departments report; the samount of garbage produced by 1 resident $= 1.643 \times 10^3$ pound.

Given that population of the city $= 2.61 \times 10^5$

Now we have to find how much garbage did the city sanitation department collect last year.

To find that we just need to multiply the garbage produced by 1 resident with the population of the city.

Total garbage collected $= (2.61 \times 10^5 ) * (1.643 \times 10^3 )$ pounds

Total garbage collected $= (2.61*1.643) \times 10^{5+3}$ pounds

Total garbage collected $= 4.28823 \times 10^8$ pounds

Hence final answer is $4.28823 \times 10^8$ pounds.

I talk to an average of 8 customers per hour during an 8 hour shift and need to increase the amount of customers i help by 20%,

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The number of customer needed to achieve is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of customer per hour = 8

The time taken = 8 hours

The rate of increase = 20 %

Let The increase in number of customer after 20 % increment = x

So , The number of customer after n hours = initial number × $(1+\dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{n}$

or, The number of customer after 8 hours = 8 × $(1+\dfrac{\textrm 20}{100})^{8}$

or, The number of customer after 8 hours = 8 × 4.2998

∴The number of customer after 8 hours = 34.39 ≈ 34

Hence The number of customer needed to achieve is 34 answer

Inga [223]

Answer: 60 kilometers
If the average speed for the trip of 80 kilometers per hour, and the time of the trip was 45 minutes, then the distance between the two jungles is 60 kilometers.

45 minutes is three-quarters of an hour, or 0.75. I multiplied this decimal by 80 to get 60, the distance between Jungle A and Jungle B.
