A shoe repairman is working with his assistant, who takes 1.5 times as long to repair a pair of shoes.
Together they can fix 10 pairs of shoes in six hours. How long does it take the repairman to fix one pair
of shoes by himself?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2 or 0.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

r = time for repairman to fix one pair of shoes.

a = time for assistant to fix one pair of shoes.

a = r×1.5

x×r + y×a = 6

x = number of pairs of shoes repaired by repairman.

y = number of pairs of shoes repaired by assistant.

x+y = 10

y = 10-x

x = y×1.5 (based on the a/r ratio : as the assistant needs 1.5 times longer, the repairman will have repaired 1.5 times more pair of shoes in the same time)

y = 10 - y×1.5

y + y×1.5 = 10

2.5×y = 10

y = 4

=> x = 6

6×r + 4×r×1.5 = 6

6×r + 6×r = 6

12×r = 6

r = 6/12 = 1/2 or 0.5 hours

7 th term and 14 th term of an Arithmetic sequence are 36 and 64 respectively , find the common difference and ,25th term

Answers

Answer:

(a) The common difference is 4

(b) The 25th term is 108

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]T_7 = 36[/tex]

[tex]T_{14} = 64[/tex]

Solving (a): The common difference

The nth term of an AP is:

[tex]T_n = a + (n -1)d[/tex]

For the 7th term, we have:

[tex]36 = a + (7 -1)d[/tex]

[tex]36 = a + 6d[/tex]

For the 14th term, we have:

[tex]64 =a + (14 -1)d[/tex]

[tex]64 =a + 13d[/tex]

Subtract both equations

[tex]64 - 36 = a - a +13d-6d[/tex]

[tex]28 = 7d[/tex]

Divide by 7

[tex]d = 4[/tex]

Solving (b): The 25th term

First, we calculate the first term (a)

The 7th term of the progression is:

[tex]36 = a + 6d[/tex]

Substitute [tex]d = 4[/tex]

[tex]36 = a + 6 * 4[/tex]

[tex]36 = a + 24[/tex]

Subtract 24

[tex]a = 36 -24[/tex]

[tex]a = 12[/tex]

The 25th term is:

[tex]T_{25} = a + (25 - 1)d[/tex]

[tex]T_{25} = 12 + (25 - 1)*4[/tex]

[tex]T_{25} = 12 + 24*4[/tex]

[tex]T_{25} = 108[/tex]

The Eastminster Widget Company has an old machine that can produce 36
widgets in 9 hours, and a newer machine that can produce 40 widgets in 8
hours. Working together, how long would it take to produce 100 widgets?

Answers

Answer:

22 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Old machine produces 36 widgets in 9 hours. The number of widgets produced in an hour can be determined as;

In 1 hour = [tex]\frac{36}{9}[/tex]

              = 4 widgets

New machine can produce 40 widgets in 8 hours. The umber of widgets produced in an hour can be determined as;

In 1 hour = [tex]\frac{40}{5}[/tex]

              = 5 widgets

Thus, let the time required by old machine be represented by s, and that of new machine by y. Working together we have;

4x + 5y = 100

(4 * 10) + (5 * 12) = 100

Thus the old machine would work for 10 hours, while the new machine would work for 12 hours to produce 100 widgets.

Working together, it would take both machines 22 hours.

Use the law of sines to find the measure of angle C.

Answers

C = 43.6 degrees (1 dp)

You cannot find C using the sine law without knowing one of the other angles.
In your previous question I showed you that A = 71.5
sin(C)/16 = sin(71.5...)/22
sin(C) = 16 x sin(71.5...)/22 = 0.68977...
C = sin^-1(0.68969) = 43.6 degrees

Here, if you use the law of sines, you cannot find the measure of the required angle. But if you use the law of cosines, you will get the desired result.

The measure of the angle C of the given triangle is 43.61°

What is the law of cosines?

According to the law of cosine, the square of any one side of a triangle is equal to the difference between the squares of the other two sides and double the product of the other sides and cosine angle added together between them. If AB, BC, and CA are lengths of the three sides of a triangle, then using the law of cosine, we can write

AB² = BC² + CA² - 2(BC)(CA)cos C.

How to solve this problem?

Here, AB = 16, BC = 22, and AC = 21.

Now, 16² = 22² + 21² - 2 * 22 * 21 * cos C

i.e. 256 = 484 + 441 - 924 * cos C

i.e. 256 - 925 = - 924 * cos C

i.e. - 669 = - 924 * cos C

i.e. cos C = 669/924 = 0.724

i.e. C = cos⁻¹(0.724) = 43.61

Therefore the measure of the angle C of the given triangle is 43.61°

Answers

Answer:

93.4 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = area of the square - area of half of the circle

Area of the shaded region = s² + ½(πr²)

Where,

r = 6.2 cm

s = length of square = diameter of circle = 2*r = 2*6.2

s = 12.4 cm

Plug in the values

Area of the shaded region = 12.4² - ½(π × 6.2²)

= 153.76 - 60.381411

= 93.378589

Answer:

1) S.A = 108, V = 72; 2) S.A = 68, V = 60; 3) S.A = 40, V = 58

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Surface area of a cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)

                                             = 2(6*4 + 4*3 + 3*6)

                                             = 2(24 + 12 + 18)

                                             = 2*54

                                             = 108 square units ------- (1)

 Volume of a cuboid = lbh

                                   = 6*4*3

                                   = 72 cube units ----------- (2)

2) Surface area = (1) - specific surface area

     Specific surface area

          =2(2*6 + 6*1 + 2*1)

          =2(12 + 6 + 2)

          =2*20

          =40 square units

  Therefore surface area = 108 - 40 = 68 square units  --------- (3)

  Volume = (2) - specific volume

      Specific volume

              =l*b*h

              =2*6*1

             =12 cube units

 Volume = 72 - 12 = 60 cube units ---------- (4)

3) Surface area = (3) - specific surface area

              Specific Surface Area

               2(2*4 +2*1 + 4*1)

               2(8 + 2 + 4)

               2(14)

               28 square units

 Surface area = 68 - 28 = 40 square units

  Volume = (4) - specific volume

         Specific volume

            = 1*2*4

            = 8 cube units

       Volume = 60 - 8 = 52 cube units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Sarah's salary after working n years is given as :

S=90000+3500n

The equation given is similar to a linear equation :

y = bx + c ;

Where, b = slope of the linear equation

Therefore, relating the equation to that of a linear model ; the slope, b is equivalent to 3500 in Sarah's salary equation.

Slope is simply described as the rate of change, the change in y per unit change in x ;

Therefore, this means Sarah's salary will increase by 3500 per year
