It takes 10 workers 5 days to complete a road repair when working 2 hours a day. working at the same pax’s how many days will it take 2 people working 5 hours a day to finish it?

It takes 10 workers 5 days to complete a road repair when working 2 hours a day.

So, this becomes : man hours required to finish the work.

Given is, if 2 people work for 5 hours a day, then let the number of days to finish the road be = d

So, total man hours =

Now, or

Hence, it will take 10 days for 2 people working 5 hours daily, to complete the work.

It will take 10 days for 2 people working 5 hours a day to finish the road repair.

From the question;

10 workers can finish road repair in 5 days working 2 hours a day

We need to find;

The number of days required to complete the road repair by 2 workers  working 5 hours a day.

Assuming the number of days required to complete the work is x

Number of working hours of 10 people is 10 hours ( 2 hours a day for 5 days)

Number of working hours of 2 people is 5x hours (5 hours a day for x days)

Note that; the number of workers or people is inversely related to the number of working hours.

Therefore;

Product of number of people and working hours or work done is a constant

Thus;

10 × 10 =  2 × 5x

100 = 10 x

x = 10

Therefore;

2 workers working 5 hours a day will require 10 days to complete the road repair.

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.
