If all of a roofing company's 6 workers are required to staff 3 roofing crews, how many workers need to be added during the busy season in order to send 7 complete crews out on jobs?
In order to find how many additional workers are needed to staff the extra crews you first need to calculate how many workers are on a crew. There are 6 workers at the company now and that's enough to staff 3 crews so there are \( \frac{6}{3} \) = 2 workers on a crew. 7 crews are needed for the busy season which, at 2 workers per crew, means that the roofing company will need 7 x 2 = 14 total workers to staff the crews during the busy season. The company already employs 6 workers so they need to add 14 - 6 = 8 new staff for the busy season.
The fuel injectors are fed fuel by the:
electric fuel pump
The electric fuel pump feeds pressurized fuel through a fuel filter to the fuel injectors via the fuel rail manifold. The fuel rail contains the fuel pressure regulator which ensures that the fuel injectors receive fuel at a consistent and known rate. Excess fuel bled off by the pressure regulator returns to the fuel tank through the fuel return line.
Which of the following can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others?
semiconductor
Semiconductors have valence shells that are exacly half full and can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others. This property makes them useful for the control of electrical current.
If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 24 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?
You have 24 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{24}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{24 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{2400}{350} \) = 7% chance to win the raffle.
The watt is a unit of measurement for:
power
Electrical power is measured in watts (W) and is calculated by multiplying the voltage (V) applied to a circuit by the resulting current (I) that flows in the circuit: P = IV. In addition to measuring production capacity, power also measures the rate of energy consumption and many loads are rated for their consumption capacity. For example, a 60W lightbulb utilizes 60W of energy to produce the equivalent of 60W of heat and light energy.
This tool is a(n) __________.
chisel
A chisel has a long sharp edge and is used, often in conjunction with a hammer, for cutting. In woodworking, chisels are used to remove large sections of wood to create the initial shape of a design. In metalworking, chisels are used to remove waste metal when a smooth finish is not required.
The dwarf planet Pluto is located where?
in the Kuiper Belt
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger. Extending beyond the orbit of Neptune, it contains objects composed mostly of frozen methane, ammonia, and water. Most notably, the Kuiper Belt is home to Pluto, a dwarf planet that, until a 2006 reclassification, was considered the ninth planet of the solar system.
