An experienced carpenter can frame a house twice as fast as an apprentice. Working together, it takes the carpenters 2 days. How long would it take the apprentice working alone?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Carpenter working alone = [tex]C[/tex] days

Then time taken by apprentice alone = Twice as that of taken by Carpenter = 2[tex]C[/tex] days

Time taken working together = 2 days

Work done in one day working together = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = [tex]\frac{1}{C}[/tex]

Work done in one day by apprentice working alone = [tex]\frac{1}{2C}[/tex]

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone + Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone =  [tex]\frac{1}{C}[/tex]+[tex]\frac{1}{2C}[/tex] = Work done in one day working together = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{C}+\dfrac{1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow C = 3\ days[/tex]

Time taken by Carpenter alone to complete the work = 3 days

Time taken by Apprentice alone to complete the work = 3 [tex]\times[/tex] 2= 6 days

Answer 2

We are required to calculate the number of days it would take the apprentice working alone

The number of days it takes the apprentice working alone is 6 days

let

Number of days taken for the carpenter to work alone = x

Number of days taken by the apprentice to work alone = 2x

Number of days taken to work together = 2 days

Work done per day Carpenter = 1/x

work done per day apprentice = 1/2x

work done per day together = 1/2

So,

work done per day together = Work done per day Carpenter + work done per day apprentice

1/2 = 1/x + 1/2x

1/2 = (2 + 1) / 2x

1/2 = 3/2x

cross product

1(2x) = 2(3)

2x = 6

x = 6/2

x = 3 days

Therefore,

Number of days taken by the apprentice to work alone = 2x

= 2(3)

= 6 days

The question is primarily asking you to use the terms given to get the number given. As there is no rule written for this one, it is easier. Usually, or later on, they may give you a sequence in which you will plug in terms to obtain the results. In cases like that, you must remember to follow PEMDAS.

Answer:  10 × 3 + 4 + 5 × 2 + 1 + 3 × 100

Step-by-step explanation:

10 × 3 + 4 + 5 × 2 + 1 + 3 × 100 = 345

Using PEMDAS, multiply first ... then add/subtract.

30 + 4 + 10 + 1 + 300 = 345

      34 + 10 + 1 + 300 = 345                  

              44 + 1 + 300 = 345

                   45 + 300 = 345      

                           345 = 345

x = 3 or x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

(x + 2) (x - 3) = 0

Hint: | Find the roots of each term in the product separately.

Split into two equations:

x - 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 3 to both sides:

x = 3 or x + 2 = 0

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer: x = 3 or x = -2

find three consecutive integers for which 3 times the sum of the first and the third is -342

Answers

Answer:

The integers are -58, -57, -56.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between two consecutive integers is 1.

If you let the smallest of the three consecutive integers equal x, then the next greater one is x + 1, and the greatest of the three is x + 2.

Integers: x, x + 1, x + 2

The sum of the first and third is: x + x + 2

3 times the sum of the first and third is: 3(x + x + 2)

That product equals -342.

3(x + x + 2) = -342

3(2x + 2) = -342

Divide both sides by 3.

2x + 2 = -114

Subtract 2 from both sides.

2x = -116

Divide both sides by 2.

x = -58

x + 1 = -57

x + 2 = -56

The integers are -58, -57, -56.

9. If DF = 42, find DE.
7x+1 4x-3
DEF what is DE​

Answers

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

So DF = 42, And we know that DF = DE + EF

Therefore (7x+1) + (4x-3) = 42

11x -2 = 42

11x = 44

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 onto DE equation, so 7(4) +1

= 29.

The required measure of line segment DE is 29.

Given that,
A line segment DF is given,
E is a point on the  segment DF, where DE = 7x +1 and EF = 4x - 3
and DF = 42,
To determine the measure of DE.

What is a line?

A line is a straight curve showing the shortest distance between 2 points.

Here,
DF = DE + EF
From the given put the values of  DF = 42, DE = 7x +1 and EF = 4x - 3
42 = 7x + 1 + 4x - 3
42 = 11x - 2
11x = 44
x = 4

DE = 7x + 1
Put the value of x in above equation,
DE = 7 * 4  + 1
DE = 28 + 1
DE = 29

Thus, the required measure of the DE segment is 29.

f(x) = -2(x + 3)² - 1

h = -3

k = 1

Vertex = (-3, 1)

11. Find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

10). 5x + (7x + 6) = 90

11). x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Sum of given angles measures 90°

Measures of the angles are (5x)° and (7x + 6)°

Therefore, equation to determine the values of x will be,

5x + (7x + 6) = 90

By combining similar terms of the equation,

12x + 6 = 90

12x = 90 - 6

12x = 84

x = [tex]\frac{84}{12}[/tex]

x = 7

Therefore, by solving the equation value of x will be 7.

Answer:

xº=71º

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the triangle BDH

Once the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180º:

40º+31º+yº=180º

71º+yº=180º

yº=109º

Once yº and xº are supplementary angles (add up to 180º):

yº+xº=180º

109º+xº=180º

xº=71º

If ∠DBE is 40° and ∠BDC is 31° then the angle x will be equal to 71°.

What is triangle?

A triangle is a two dimensional figure having three sides, three angles and the sum of all the angles is equal to 180°.

How to find angle?

We have been given ∠DBE=40° and ∠BDC=31° and we have to find the angle ∠IHE which is x°.

Let the angle DHB equal to y.

In ΔBDH

∠DBH+∠BDH+Y=180 { Sum of all angles in a triangle is equal to 180}

40+31+y=180

71+y=180

y=180-71

y=109°

We know that sum of two angles on a line is equal to 180°.

So, x=180-109

x=71°

Hence the value of x is 71° if ∠BDC=31° and ∠DBE =40°.

In the diagram, what is the measure of WRS?
O 5°
O 7.5°
O 25°
O 37.5°

Answers

Answer : The measure of ∠WRS is 25°.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we know that vertically opposite angles are always equal.

In the given figure,

∠VRT = ∠WRS = (5x)°          (Vertically opposite angles)

And we know that the sum of all angle in a straight line is equal to 180°.

So,

∠TSR + ∠WRS = 180°

Given: ∠TSR = (25x + 30)°

∠TSR + ∠WRS = 180°

(25x + 30)° + (5x)° = 180°

30x + 30° = 180°

30x = 180° - 30°

30x = 150°

x = 5°

∠WRS = (5x)° = (5 × 5)°  = 25°  

Therefore, the measure of ∠WRS is 25°.

Answer: 25°
