A factory employs 18 women to sew 540 dresses. The women take 6 weeks to do the job. If 12
women had been employed instead, how many weeks would it have taken them to sew the 540
dresses?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  9 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

In problems of this nature, the usual assumption is that the time required is proportional to the work product and inversely proportional to the number of people doing the job. Here, there is no change in the amount of work, but the number of people is reduced by a factor of 12/18 = 2/3.

So, the amount of time required is expected to increase by a factor of 1/(2/3) = 3/2.

  (6 weeks)×(3/2) = 9 weeks

It would have taken 9 weeks to sew the 540 dresses.

Emilio is drawing a graph that shows the weight of a baby elephant during the first 6 months of its life. What is the meaning of the point shown on the graph?

Ruby's Weight
A graph has age (months) on the x-axis, and weight (pounds) on the y-axis. A point is at (1, 80).

Answers

Using the function concept, it is found that the meaning of the point is that the weight of the elephant during the first month is of 80 pounds.

What is a function?

In a function, represented by a set of ordered points (x,y), one value of the input x can be related to only one value of the output y.

In this problem, x is the age in months, while y is the weight in pounds, hence the meaning of point (1,80) is that the weight of the elephant during the first month is of 80 pounds.

Amy deposits S500 into an account that pays simple interest at a rate of 5% per year. How much Interest will she be paid in the first 4 years?

Answers

Answer:

She will be paid $100 in interest in the first 4 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

[tex]E = P*I*t[/tex]

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

Amy deposits $500 into an account that pays simple interest at a rate of 5% per year.

This means that [tex]P = 500, I = 0.05[/tex]

How much Interest will she be paid in the first 4 years?

This is E when [tex]t = 4[/tex]. So

[tex]E = P*I*t = 500*0.05*4 = 100[/tex]

She will be paid $100 in interest in the first 4 years.

2.The marked price of television is Rs2000.If 13 percentage tax was levied, after allowing 10 percentage discount, find the final price.Single choice.

(2 Points)​

Answers

Answer:

Final price = $2034

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Marked price = $2000

Tax = 13%

Discount = 10%

To find the final sales price;

First of all, we would calculate the discount price

Discount price = 10/100 * 2000

Discount price = 20 * 10 = $200

New Price = marked price - discount price

New Price = 2000 - 200 = 1800

Next, we calculate the tax on the product;

Tax = 13/100 * 1800

Tax = 0.13 * 1800

Tax = $234

Finally, we would determine the final price;

Final price = marked price + Tax

Final price = 1800 + 234

Final price = $2034

Answers

Answer:

The company's expenses and sales will both total $2944 once they have sold 736 oz of links

Step-by-step explanation:

cost: y = 736 + 3x

revenue: y = 4x

y = y, so using substitution

4x = 3x + 736

x = 736

They will therefore need to sell 736 oz of links, and when plugging in 736 as x into both the equations:

y = 736 + 3(736) = 2944

y = 4(736) = 2944

Plz help me quickly it’s due very soon!!!!

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both angles together equal 180. Set up your formula as

-4x+5+-13x+39 = 180

Now move your terms to have all x values on one side

-4x-13x = 180-5-39

-17x =  136

x=136 / -17

Use this answer in place of your x in each equation to get the angle.

A report about how American college students manage their finances includes data from a survey of college students. Each person in a representative sample of 793 college students was asked if they had one or more credit cards and if so, whether they paid their balance in full each month. There were 500 who paid in full each month. For this sample of 500 students, the sample mean credit card balance was reported to be $825. The sample standard deviation of the credit card balances for these 500 students was not reported, but for purposes of this exercise, suppose that it was $195. Is there convincing evidence that college students who pay their credit card balance in full each month have a mean balance that is lower than $907, the value reported for all college students with credit cards?

Required:
a. Carry out a hypothesis test using& significance level of 0.01.
b. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

Answers

Answer:

Following are the responses to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

Test statistic:

[tex]t=\frac{(825-905)}{\frac{205}{\sqrt{(500)}}}[/tex]

  [tex]=\frac{(-80)}{\frac{205}{22.36}}\\\\=\frac{(-80)}{9.16}\\\\=-8.73[/tex]

Let the p-value=0

We reject H0 because of the p-value <0.01. We have evidence that college kids who pay their credit card bills in full per month have a mean balance of less than $905.

2. True or false:


The ordered pair (0, 4) is a solution for the equation:

5x + 2y = 23

Answers

1) true

2)false

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 5(3)+2(4) = 23

23=23

thus, (3,4) is solution for 5x + 2y = 23

2) 5(0)+2(4) =23

= 0+8 is not 23

thus, (0,4) is not solution for 5x + 2y = 23
