They need 6 supervisors

Answer:

Number of supervisors needed in the company = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of employees working in each team = 18

Number of total teams on the floor = 3

So, total number of employees working on the floor = 3 × 18 = 54

Now, it is given that for every 8 employees the company needs a 1 supervisor

⇒ 8 employees need 1 supervisor

$\text{1 employee needs }\frac{1}{8}\text{ supervisors}\\\\\text{So, 54 employees needs }\frac{1}{8}\times 54}=6.75\text{ supervisors}$

Since, The number of supervisors cannot be in the form of decimals

⇒ Number of supervisors needed in the company = 7

The starting salary for a particular job is 1.2 million per annum. The salary increases each year by 75000 to a maximum of 1.5mi

Vlada [557]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

In the 5th year

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

For the first year, the salary is 1.2million = 1,200,000

For the second year, the salary is 1.2million + 75000 = 1,200,000 + 75,000 = 1,275,000

.

.

.

For the last year, the salary is 1.5million = 1,500,000

This gives the following sequence...

1,200,000 1,275,000 . . . 1,500,000

This follows an arithmetic progression with an increment of 75,000.

<em>Remember that,</em>

The last term, L, of an arithmetic progression is given by;

L = a + (n - 1)d ---------------(i)

<em>Where;</em>

a = first term of the sequence

n = number of terms in the sequence (which is the number of years)

d = the common difference or increment of the sequence

<em>From the given sequence,</em>

a = 1,200,000 [which is the first salary]

d = 75,000 [which is the increment in salary]

L = 1,500,000 [which is the maximum salary]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

1,500,000 = 1,200,00 + (n - 1) 75,000

1,500,000 - 1,200,000 = 75,000(n-1)

300,000 = 75,000(n - 1)

$\frac{300,000}{75,000} = n - 1$

4 = n - 1

n = 5

Therefore, in the 5th year the maximum salary will be reached.

Steve likes to entertain friends at parties with "wire tricks." Suppose he takes a piece of wire 60 inches long and cuts it into

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a) the length of the wire for the circle = $(\frac{60\pi }{\pi+4}) in$

b)the length of the wire for the square = $(\frac{240}{\pi+4}) in$

c) the smallest possible area = 126.02 in² into two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

If one piece of wire for the square is y; and another piece of wire for circle is (60-y).

Then; we can say; let the side of the square be b

so 4(b)=y

b= $\frac{y}{4}$

Area of the square which is L² can now be said to be;

$A_S=(\frac{y}{4})^2 = \frac{y^2}{16}$

On the otherhand; let the radius (r) of the circle be;

2πr = 60-y

$r = \frac{60-y}{2\pi }$

Area of the circle which is πr² can now be;

$A_C= \pi (\frac{60-y}{2\pi } )^2$

$=( \frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2$

Total Area (A);

A = $A_S+A_C$

= $\frac{y^2}{16} +(\frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2$

For the smallest possible area; $\frac{dA}{dy}=0$

∴ $\frac{2y}{16}+\frac{2(60-y)(-1)}{4\pi}=0$

If we divide through with (2) and each entity move to the opposite side; we have:

$\frac{y}{18}=\frac{(60-y)}{2\pi}$

By cross multiplying; we have:

2πy = 480 - 8y

collect like terms

(2π + 8) y = 480

which can be reduced to (π + 4)y = 240 by dividing through with 2

$y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}$

∴ since $y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}$ , we can determine for the length of the circle ;

60-y can now be;

= $60-\frac{240}{\pi+4}$

= $\frac{(\pi+4)*60-240}{\pi+40}$

= $\frac{60\pi+240-240}{\pi+4}$

= $(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+4})in$

also, the length of wire for the square (y) ; $y= (\frac{240}{\pi+4})in$

The smallest possible area (A) = $\frac{1}{16} (\frac{240}{\pi+4})^2+(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+y})^2(\frac{1}{4\pi})$

= 126.0223095 in²

≅ 126.02 in² ( to two decimal places)

The basketballs Noah packed had two different prices. Of the total number of basketballs sold, 60% had a price that was $21 more

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

$(8967/n + 8.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

0.4nx + 0.6n(x+21) = 8967

nx + 12.6n = 8967

x = 8967/n - 12.6

x+21 = 8967/n + 8.4

Where n is the no. of balls

Example: if total balls were 300

n = 300

More expensive one would cost:

8967/300 + 8.4 = $38.29

2.8 meters linen divided into 45 cm pieces = # of pieces and waste

pogonyaev

2.8 meter= 2800cms

To solve this, we can create a simple algebraic equation:
45x=2800
Divide both sides by 45.
(45x)/45=(2800)/45
x=62.222

You can make 62 full pieces.

To find the waste, multiply the numbers of pieces by the length of each.
62*45
=2790
2800-<span>2790
=10 centimeters

There would be 10 centimeters of wasted linen.

Hope this helps!
