At a brick laying contest, each layer of bricks is expected to be of an inch tall. Three contestants recorded the fraction of layers of brick they placed and the time it took them to place the bricks in the table below.
Answers
Answer:
First, determine the number of inches each contestant made by multiplying the fraction of layers by the height of each layer.
Next, determine what fraction of an hour each contestant took to make their fraction of layers by writing each number of minutes as a fraction of 60 minutes.
Last, determine each contestant’s unit rate in inches per hour.
So, Zeke's unit rate was of an inch per hour.
Melanie's unit rate was of an inch per hour.
To find out how much greater Zeke's unit rate was than Xavier's unit rate, subtract Xavier's unit rate from Zeke's unit rate.
Therefore, Zeke's unit rate was of an inch per hour greater than Xavier's unit rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each contestant's unit rate in inches per hour is as Zeke's unit rate is [tex]\frac{9}{16}[/tex]inches per hour, Melanie's unit rate [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] inches per hour, and Zeke's unit rate was not greater than Xavier's unit rate.
What is unit rate ?Unit rate divide the denominator with the numerator in a way that the denominator becomes [tex]1[/tex].
We have,
Each layer of brick is [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] inches tall.
Zeke lays [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] layers of fraction in [tex]40[/tex] minutes.
Melanie lays [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] layers of fraction in [tex]80[/tex] minutes.
Xavier lays [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex] layers of fraction in [tex]55[/tex] minutes.
So, Number of inches made by every contestant;
Zeke lays inches of brick [tex]=\frac{5}{8} *\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Melanie lays inches of brick [tex]=\frac{5}{8} * \frac{4}{5} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Xavier lays inches of brick [tex]=\frac{5}{8} * \frac{6}{5} = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Now, Unit rate of every contestant;
Zeke's unit rate [tex]=\frac{3}{8} * \frac{60}{40} = \frac{9}{16}[/tex] inches per hour
Melanie's unit rate [tex]=\frac{1}{2} * \frac{60}{80} = \frac{3}{8}[/tex] inches per hour
Xavier's unit rate [tex]= \frac{3}{4} * \frac{60}{55} = \frac{9}{11}[/tex] inches per hour
Now, to find that how much Zeke's unit rate was greater than Xavier's unit rate:
We will find the difference between their unit rate;
i.e.
Zeke's unit rate [tex]-[/tex] Xavier's unit rate [tex]= \frac{9}{16} - \frac{9}{11} = \frac{-45}{176}[/tex]
That means Zeke's unit rate is not greater than Xavier's unit rate.
Hence, we can say that each contestant's unit rate in inches per hour is as Zeke's unit rate is [tex]\frac{9}{16}[/tex] inches per hour, Melanie's unit rate [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] inches per hour, and Zeke's unit rate was not greater than Xavier's unit rate.

Find the period.
Principal = 9300 rupees
Annual rate of interest = 13%
Total amount = 17,763
Period = _____ years
Answers
Answer:
The Time period of the Amount is 5 years 3 days .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The principal = p = Rs 9300
The annual rate of interest = r = 13%
The Total amount after t years = A = Rs 17,763
Let The time period = t years
From Compound Interest method
Amount = principal ×
Or, A = p ×
Or, Rs 17,763 = Rs 9300 ×
Or, =
or, 1.91 =
Taking Log both side
1.91 = ( )
or, 0.2810 = t × 1.13
or, 0.2810 = t × 0.0530
∴ t -
I.e t = 5.30 years
So, The time period = t = 5 years 3 days
Hence The Time period of the Amount is 5 years 3 days

Look at the rectangle and the square:
A rectangle PQRS and square LMNO are drawn side by side. The length SR of the rectangle is labeled as 12 inches, and the width QR is labeled as 6 inches. The side LM of the square is labeled as 6 inches
Sam says that the length of diagonal SQ is two times the length of diagonal OM.
Is Sam correct? Justify your answer and show all your work. Your work should state the theorem you used to find the lengths of the diagonals.
Answers
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's consider the triangle SQR. We know it is right-angle because part of the rectangle PQRS. We can use the Pythagorean theorem:
[tex]SQ^{2} = RQ^{2} + SR^{2} \\SQ^{2} = 36 + 144 = 180\\SQ = \sqrt{180} = 13,4[/tex]
We can do the same for the square in which ON = 6 because it's a square:
[tex]OM^{2} = MN^{2} + ON^{2} \\OM^{2} = 36 + 36 = 72\\OM = \sqrt{72} = 8.5[/tex]
Now let's compare them:
8.5 X 2 = 17 so OM X 2 is not equal to SQ
The sentence is false.
