There are 3 sections A, B, and C in a class, consisting of 40, 30, and 25 students respectively. If the average weight of section A is 50 kg, that of section B is 61.2 kg, and that of section C is 58.4 kg, find the average weight of the whole class?

💡First, I need to determine the total weight of each section by multiplying the number of students in each section by their respective average weights.For Section A:40 students multiplied by an average weight of 50 kg equals 2000 kg.For Section B:30 students multiplied by an average weight of 61.2 kg equals 1836 kg.For Section C:25 students multiplied by an average weight of 58.4 kg equals 1460 kg.Next, I will add the total weights of all three sections to find the overall total weight of the class:2000 kg + 1836 kg + 1460 kg equals 5296 kg.Then, I will calculate the total number of students in the class by adding the number of students in each section:40 students + 30 students + 25 students equals 95 students.Finally, to find the average weight of the whole class, I will divide the total weight by the total number of students:5296 kg divided by 95 students equals approximately 55.75 kg.

Zachary did some push-ups in gym class today. David did 58 more push-ups than Zachary. They did 146 push-ups altogether. How many push-ups did Zachary do?

💡First, I'll define the number of push-ups Zachary did as ( Z ).Since David did 58 more push-ups than Zachary, the number of push-ups David did can be expressed as ( Z + 58 ).Together, Zachary and David did a total of 146 push-ups. This gives us the equation:[Z + (Z + 58) = 146]Combining like terms, the equation simplifies to:[2Z + 58 = 146]Next, I'll subtract 58 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with ( Z ):[2Z = 146 - 58][2Z = 88]Finally, I'll divide both sides by 2 to solve for ( Z ):[Z = frac{88}{2}][Z = 44]Therefore, Zachary did 44 push-ups.

There are 100 chickens, 150 piglets, 120 goats, 60 cows, 75 sheep, and 30 horses at Stacy's farm. During a horrible storm, 2/5 of the chickens, 5/6 of the piglets, 1/2 of the goats, 3/5 of the cows, 2/3 of the sheep, and 9/10 of the horses get sick. How many animals in total get sick?

💡First, I need to determine the number of each type of animal that gets sick by applying the given fractions to their respective total counts.For the chickens, 2/5 of 100 chickens get sick, which equals 40 chickens.For the piglets, 5/6 of 150 piglets get sick, which equals 125 piglets.For the goats, 1/2 of 120 goats get sick, which equals 60 goats.For the cows, 3/5 of 60 cows get sick, which equals 36 cows.For the sheep, 2/3 of 75 sheep get sick, which equals 50 sheep.For the horses, 9/10 of 30 horses get sick, which equals 27 horses.Next, I will add up all the sick animals from each category to find the total number of sick animals.Adding them together: 40 (chickens) + 125 (piglets) + 60 (goats) + 36 (cows) + 50 (sheep) + 27 (horses) equals 338.Therefore, the total number of animals that get sick is 338.

A factory has workers producing gizmos and gadgets. For each product, the production time per worker is constant but different between the two products. In one hour, 80 workers can produce 160 gizmos and 240 gadgets. In three hours, 100 workers can produce 900 gizmos and 600 gadgets. In five hours, 70 workers can produce n gizmos and 1050 gadgets. Determine the value of n.

💡Okay, so I have this problem about a factory producing gizmos and gadgets. It involves figuring out how many gizmos, denoted as ( n ), 70 workers can produce in five hours. The problem gives me two other scenarios with different numbers of workers, time, and production quantities, which I can use to set up equations and solve for the unknowns.First, let me try to understand the problem step by step. There are two products: gizmos and gadgets. Each product takes a constant amount of time per worker to produce, but the time is different between gizmos and gadgets. So, if I denote the time it takes one worker to produce one gizmo as ( g ) hours, and the time for one gadget as ( d ) hours, then I can model the production rates based on these times.The problem gives me three different scenarios:1. In one hour, 80 workers can produce 160 gizmos and 240 gadgets.2. In three hours, 100 workers can produce 900 gizmos and 600 gadgets.3. In five hours, 70 workers can produce ( n ) gizmos and 1050 gadgets.I need to find the value of ( n ).Let me break down the first scenario. If 80 workers work for one hour and produce 160 gizmos and 240 gadgets, I can find the production rate per worker per hour for both gizmos and gadgets.For gizmos: 160 gizmos / 80 workers = 2 gizmos per worker per hour.For gadgets: 240 gadgets / 80 workers = 3 gadgets per worker per hour.So, each worker produces 2 gizmos and 3 gadgets in one hour. But since the time to produce each product is constant, I can relate this to the time per product.If a worker produces 2 gizmos in one hour, then the time per gizmo is ( g = frac{1}{2} ) hours per gizmo. Similarly, producing 3 gadgets in one hour means the time per gadget is ( d = frac{1}{3} ) hours per gadget.Wait, hold on. Let me think about this again. If a worker can produce 2 gizmos in one hour, that means the time per gizmo is ( frac{1}{2} ) hours per gizmo. Similarly, producing 3 gadgets in one hour means ( frac{1}{3} ) hours per gadget. So, ( g = frac{1}{2} ) and ( d = frac{1}{3} ).But let me check this with the second scenario to see if it holds.In the second scenario, 100 workers work for three hours and produce 900 gizmos and 600 gadgets.Calculating the production per worker per hour:For gizmos: 900 gizmos / 100 workers / 3 hours = 3 gizmos per worker per hour.For gadgets: 600 gadgets / 100 workers / 3 hours = 2 gadgets per worker per hour.Hmm, so according to this, each worker produces 3 gizmos and 2 gadgets per hour. But from the first scenario, we had 2 gizmos and 3 gadgets per worker per hour. These numbers are different, which suggests that my initial assumption might be incorrect.Wait, perhaps I need to model this differently. Maybe instead of directly taking the production per worker per hour, I should consider the time each worker spends on each product.Let me think about it in terms of worker-hours. Worker-hour is a unit that represents one worker working for one hour. So, the total worker-hours in the first scenario is 80 workers * 1 hour = 80 worker-hours.In that time, they produced 160 gizmos and 240 gadgets. So, the total worker-hours can be expressed as the sum of the time spent on gizmos and gadgets.If each gizmo takes ( g ) hours per worker, then 160 gizmos would take ( 160g ) worker-hours.Similarly, 240 gadgets would take ( 240d ) worker-hours.So, the total worker-hours equation is:( 160g + 240d = 80 ) worker-hours.Similarly, for the second scenario, 100 workers work for 3 hours, so total worker-hours is 100 * 3 = 300 worker-hours.They produced 900 gizmos and 600 gadgets, so:( 900g + 600d = 300 ) worker-hours.Now, I have two equations:1. ( 160g + 240d = 80 )2. ( 900g + 600d = 300 )I can simplify these equations to make them easier to solve.Starting with the first equation:Divide all terms by 80:( 2g + 3d = 1 )Second equation:Divide all terms by 300:( 3g + 2d = 1 )So now, I have a system of two equations:1. ( 2g + 3d = 1 )2. ( 3g + 2d = 1 )I need to solve for ( g ) and ( d ). Let me use the method of elimination.First, I'll multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2 to make the coefficients of ( g ) the same:1. ( 6g + 9d = 3 )2. ( 6g + 4d = 2 )Now, subtract the second equation from the first:( (6g + 9d) - (6g + 4d) = 3 - 2 )Simplifying:( 5d = 1 )So, ( d = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gadget.Now, substitute ( d = frac{1}{5} ) back into one of the original equations to find ( g ). Let's use the second equation:( 3g + 2d = 1 )Substituting ( d ):( 3g + 2 times frac{1}{5} = 1 )Simplify:( 3g + frac{2}{5} = 1 )Subtract ( frac{2}{5} ) from both sides:( 3g = 1 - frac{2}{5} = frac{5}{5} - frac{2}{5} = frac{3}{5} )So, ( g = frac{3}{5} div 3 = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gizmo.Wait, so both ( g ) and ( d ) are ( frac{1}{5} ) hours? That seems a bit odd because in the first scenario, workers were producing more gadgets than gizmos, but according to this, both take the same time. Let me check my calculations.Looking back at the equations:1. ( 2g + 3d = 1 )2. ( 3g + 2d = 1 )After solving, I found ( d = frac{1}{5} ) and ( g = frac{1}{5} ). Hmm, so both products take the same time per unit. That might be correct, but let me verify with the first scenario.If ( g = frac{1}{5} ) and ( d = frac{1}{5} ), then in one hour, each worker can produce:For gizmos: ( frac{1}{g} = 5 ) gizmos per hour.For gadgets: ( frac{1}{d} = 5 ) gadgets per hour.But in the first scenario, workers produced 2 gizmos and 3 gadgets per hour, not 5 each. So, there's a discrepancy here. That suggests that my approach might be incorrect.Wait, perhaps I misinterpreted the problem. Maybe the time per worker is the time to produce one product, but workers can switch between products. So, in one hour, a worker can produce some number of gizmos and some number of gadgets, depending on how they allocate their time.So, if a worker spends ( t ) hours producing gizmos, they can produce ( frac{t}{g} ) gizmos, and ( frac{(1 - t)}{d} ) gadgets in that hour.But this complicates things because now we have to consider the allocation of time per worker. However, the problem states that the production time per worker is constant but different between the two products. So, maybe each worker has a fixed rate for gizmos and a fixed rate for gadgets, and they can work on both simultaneously? That doesn't quite make sense.Alternatively, perhaps the workers can only produce one type of product at a time, and the factory can allocate workers to different products. So, in the first scenario, some workers are assigned to gizmos and others to gadgets.But the problem doesn't specify how workers are allocated between the two products. It just gives the total production for both products. So, maybe I need to consider the total worker-hours spent on each product.Let me try this approach again.In the first scenario:Total worker-hours = 80 workers * 1 hour = 80 worker-hours.Total gizmos = 160, so worker-hours per gizmo = ( frac{80}{160} = 0.5 ) worker-hours per gizmo.Similarly, total gadgets = 240, so worker-hours per gadget = ( frac{80}{240} = frac{1}{3} ) worker-hours per gadget.So, ( g = 0.5 ) hours per gizmo and ( d = frac{1}{3} ) hours per gadget.Wait, but earlier when I set up the equations, I got ( g = frac{1}{5} ) and ( d = frac{1}{5} ), which contradicts this.I think I made a mistake in setting up the equations earlier. Let me clarify.If ( g ) is the time per gizmo, then the number of gizmos produced per worker per hour is ( frac{1}{g} ). Similarly, the number of gadgets produced per worker per hour is ( frac{1}{d} ).In the first scenario, with 80 workers for 1 hour, producing 160 gizmos and 240 gadgets, the total production can be expressed as:( 80 times frac{1}{g} = 160 ) gizmosand( 80 times frac{1}{d} = 240 ) gadgets.So, solving for ( g ) and ( d ):From gizmos:( frac{80}{g} = 160 )( g = frac{80}{160} = 0.5 ) hours per gizmo.From gadgets:( frac{80}{d} = 240 )( d = frac{80}{240} = frac{1}{3} ) hours per gadget.So, ( g = 0.5 ) and ( d = frac{1}{3} ).Now, let's check this with the second scenario to see if it holds.In the second scenario, 100 workers work for 3 hours, producing 900 gizmos and 600 gadgets.Using the same logic:Total worker-hours = 100 * 3 = 300 worker-hours.Total gizmos = 900, so worker-hours per gizmo = ( frac{300}{900} = frac{1}{3} ) worker-hours per gizmo.But according to the first scenario, ( g = 0.5 ) hours per gizmo, which is ( 0.5 ) worker-hours per gizmo. However, in the second scenario, it's ( frac{1}{3} ) worker-hours per gizmo. This inconsistency suggests that my approach is flawed.Wait, perhaps the issue is that in the first scenario, workers are producing both gizmos and gadgets, so the total worker-hours are split between the two products. Therefore, I can't directly calculate ( g ) and ( d ) from the total production because workers are working on both products simultaneously.This means I need to set up a system of equations where the total worker-hours spent on gizmos plus the total worker-hours spent on gadgets equals the total worker-hours available.Let me define:Let ( w_g ) be the number of workers assigned to gizmos, and ( w_d ) be the number of workers assigned to gadgets.In the first scenario:Total workers: ( w_g + w_d = 80 )Total worker-hours on gizmos: ( w_g * 1 ) hourTotal worker-hours on gadgets: ( w_d * 1 ) hourTotal gizmos produced: ( frac{w_g * 1}{g} = 160 )Total gadgets produced: ( frac{w_d * 1}{d} = 240 )So, we have:1. ( frac{w_g}{g} = 160 )2. ( frac{w_d}{d} = 240 )3. ( w_g + w_d = 80 )Similarly, in the second scenario:Total workers: ( w_g' + w_d' = 100 )Total worker-hours on gizmos: ( w_g' * 3 ) hoursTotal worker-hours on gadgets: ( w_d' * 3 ) hoursTotal gizmos produced: ( frac{w_g' * 3}{g} = 900 )Total gadgets produced: ( frac{w_d' * 3}{d} = 600 )So, we have:4. ( frac{3 w_g'}{g} = 900 )5. ( frac{3 w_d'}{d} = 600 )6. ( w_g' + w_d' = 100 )Now, I can solve these equations step by step.From equation 1: ( w_g = 160 g )From equation 2: ( w_d = 240 d )From equation 3: ( 160 g + 240 d = 80 )Similarly, from equation 4: ( w_g' = frac{900 g}{3} = 300 g )From equation 5: ( w_d' = frac{600 d}{3} = 200 d )From equation 6: ( 300 g + 200 d = 100 )Now, I have two equations:1. ( 160 g + 240 d = 80 )2. ( 300 g + 200 d = 100 )Let me simplify these equations.First equation: Divide all terms by 40:( 4g + 6d = 2 )Second equation: Divide all terms by 100:( 3g + 2d = 1 )Now, I have:1. ( 4g + 6d = 2 )2. ( 3g + 2d = 1 )Let me solve this system of equations.First, I'll solve equation 2 for ( 3g + 2d = 1 ). Let's express ( 3g = 1 - 2d ), so ( g = frac{1 - 2d}{3} ).Now, substitute ( g ) into equation 1:( 4 left( frac{1 - 2d}{3} right) + 6d = 2 )Multiply through:( frac{4(1 - 2d)}{3} + 6d = 2 )Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the denominator:( 4(1 - 2d) + 18d = 6 )Expand:( 4 - 8d + 18d = 6 )Combine like terms:( 4 + 10d = 6 )Subtract 4:( 10d = 2 )So, ( d = frac{2}{10} = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gadget.Now, substitute ( d = frac{1}{5} ) back into equation 2:( 3g + 2 times frac{1}{5} = 1 )Simplify:( 3g + frac{2}{5} = 1 )Subtract ( frac{2}{5} ):( 3g = 1 - frac{2}{5} = frac{3}{5} )So, ( g = frac{3}{5} div 3 = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gizmo.Wait, so both ( g ) and ( d ) are ( frac{1}{5} ) hours? That means each gizmo and each gadget takes the same amount of time to produce, which is ( frac{1}{5} ) hours per unit.But let's check this with the first scenario.If ( g = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gizmo, then the number of gizmos produced per worker per hour is ( frac{1}{g} = 5 ) gizmos per hour.Similarly, ( d = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gadget, so ( frac{1}{d} = 5 ) gadgets per hour.But in the first scenario, 80 workers produced 160 gizmos and 240 gadgets in one hour. If each worker can produce 5 gizmos and 5 gadgets per hour, then 80 workers should produce ( 80 times 5 = 400 ) gizmos and ( 80 times 5 = 400 ) gadgets. However, they only produced 160 gizmos and 240 gadgets. This discrepancy suggests that my assumption that workers can produce both products simultaneously at the same rate is incorrect.I think the confusion arises from whether workers can switch between products or are dedicated to one product. If workers are dedicated, then the total production is split between the two products based on how many workers are assigned to each. If workers can switch, then they can produce both, but the rates would be additive.Given the problem statement, it says "For each product, the production time per worker is constant but different between the two products." This suggests that each worker has a fixed time to produce one gizmo and a fixed time to produce one gadget, but they can work on either product. Therefore, the total production depends on how the workers allocate their time between the two products.However, the problem doesn't specify how the workers allocate their time, so we have to assume that the factory can assign workers to either product, and the total production is the sum of the contributions from each worker.But without knowing how workers are allocated, we can't directly calculate the number of gizmos and gadgets produced. Therefore, we need to set up equations based on the total production and solve for the time per product.Let me try a different approach. Let's define:Let ( r_g ) be the rate of producing gizmos per worker per hour, so ( r_g = frac{1}{g} ).Similarly, ( r_d = frac{1}{d} ) is the rate for gadgets.In the first scenario, 80 workers produce 160 gizmos and 240 gadgets in 1 hour. So:( 80 times r_g times 1 = 160 ) => ( r_g = frac{160}{80} = 2 ) gizmos per worker per hour.Similarly, ( 80 times r_d times 1 = 240 ) => ( r_d = frac{240}{80} = 3 ) gadgets per worker per hour.So, ( r_g = 2 ) and ( r_d = 3 ).In the second scenario, 100 workers produce 900 gizmos and 600 gadgets in 3 hours. So:( 100 times r_g times 3 = 900 ) => ( 300 r_g = 900 ) => ( r_g = 3 ).Similarly, ( 100 times r_d times 3 = 600 ) => ( 300 r_d = 600 ) => ( r_d = 2 ).Wait, this is inconsistent with the first scenario where ( r_g = 2 ) and ( r_d = 3 ). In the second scenario, ( r_g = 3 ) and ( r_d = 2 ). This suggests that the rates are different, which contradicts the problem statement that the production time per worker is constant for each product.This inconsistency implies that my assumption that workers can produce both products simultaneously at fixed rates is incorrect. Instead, perhaps the workers are dedicated to one product, and the factory can allocate workers to either product, but the total number of workers is fixed.Therefore, in each scenario, some number of workers are assigned to gizmos and the rest to gadgets. The total production is the sum of the contributions from each group.Let me formalize this.Let ( w_g ) be the number of workers assigned to gizmos, and ( w_d ) be the number assigned to gadgets. So, ( w_g + w_d = ) total workers.The production of gizmos is ( w_g times frac{text{time}}{g} ), and similarly for gadgets.But since time is given, let's express it as:In the first scenario:Total gizmos: ( w_g times frac{1}{g} = 160 )Total gadgets: ( w_d times frac{1}{d} = 240 )And ( w_g + w_d = 80 )Similarly, in the second scenario:Total gizmos: ( w_g' times frac{3}{g} = 900 )Total gadgets: ( w_d' times frac{3}{d} = 600 )And ( w_g' + w_d' = 100 )Now, we have two sets of equations:First scenario:1. ( frac{w_g}{g} = 160 )2. ( frac{w_d}{d} = 240 )3. ( w_g + w_d = 80 )Second scenario:4. ( frac{3 w_g'}{g} = 900 )5. ( frac{3 w_d'}{d} = 600 )6. ( w_g' + w_d' = 100 )Let me solve these equations.From equation 1: ( w_g = 160 g )From equation 2: ( w_d = 240 d )From equation 3: ( 160 g + 240 d = 80 )From equation 4: ( w_g' = frac{900 g}{3} = 300 g )From equation 5: ( w_d' = frac{600 d}{3} = 200 d )From equation 6: ( 300 g + 200 d = 100 )Now, we have two equations:1. ( 160 g + 240 d = 80 )2. ( 300 g + 200 d = 100 )Let me simplify these equations.First equation: Divide all terms by 40:( 4g + 6d = 2 )Second equation: Divide all terms by 100:( 3g + 2d = 1 )Now, we have:1. ( 4g + 6d = 2 )2. ( 3g + 2d = 1 )Let me solve this system.First, I'll solve equation 2 for ( 3g + 2d = 1 ). Let's express ( 3g = 1 - 2d ), so ( g = frac{1 - 2d}{3} ).Now, substitute ( g ) into equation 1:( 4 left( frac{1 - 2d}{3} right) + 6d = 2 )Multiply through:( frac{4(1 - 2d)}{3} + 6d = 2 )Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the denominator:( 4(1 - 2d) + 18d = 6 )Expand:( 4 - 8d + 18d = 6 )Combine like terms:( 4 + 10d = 6 )Subtract 4:( 10d = 2 )So, ( d = frac{2}{10} = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gadget.Now, substitute ( d = frac{1}{5} ) back into equation 2:( 3g + 2 times frac{1}{5} = 1 )Simplify:( 3g + frac{2}{5} = 1 )Subtract ( frac{2}{5} ):( 3g = 1 - frac{2}{5} = frac{3}{5} )So, ( g = frac{3}{5} div 3 = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gizmo.So, both ( g ) and ( d ) are ( frac{1}{5} ) hours. That means each gizmo and each gadget takes the same amount of time to produce, which is ( frac{1}{5} ) hours per unit.Now, let's verify this with the first scenario.If ( g = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gizmo, then the number of gizmos produced per worker per hour is ( frac{1}{g} = 5 ) gizmos per hour.Similarly, ( d = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gadget, so ( frac{1}{d} = 5 ) gadgets per hour.But in the first scenario, 80 workers produced 160 gizmos and 240 gadgets in one hour. If each worker can produce 5 gizmos and 5 gadgets per hour, then 80 workers should produce ( 80 times 5 = 400 ) gizmos and ( 80 times 5 = 400 ) gadgets. However, they only produced 160 gizmos and 240 gadgets. This suggests that not all workers were dedicated to both products, but rather, some were assigned to gizmos and others to gadgets.Wait, but according to our earlier equations, in the first scenario, ( w_g = 160 g = 160 times frac{1}{5} = 32 ) workers assigned to gizmos.Similarly, ( w_d = 240 d = 240 times frac{1}{5} = 48 ) workers assigned to gadgets.So, total workers: 32 + 48 = 80, which matches.Therefore, in the first scenario, 32 workers were assigned to gizmos, producing ( 32 times 5 = 160 ) gizmos, and 48 workers assigned to gadgets, producing ( 48 times 5 = 240 ) gadgets.Similarly, in the second scenario:( w_g' = 300 g = 300 times frac{1}{5} = 60 ) workers assigned to gizmos.( w_d' = 200 d = 200 times frac{1}{5} = 40 ) workers assigned to gadgets.Total workers: 60 + 40 = 100, which matches.They produced ( 60 times 5 times 3 = 900 ) gizmos and ( 40 times 5 times 3 = 600 ) gadgets, which matches the second scenario.So, now, moving on to the third scenario:In five hours, 70 workers can produce ( n ) gizmos and 1050 gadgets.Using the same approach, let's define:( w_g'' ) workers assigned to gizmos, and ( w_d'' ) workers assigned to gadgets.So, ( w_g'' + w_d'' = 70 )Total gizmos produced: ( w_g'' times frac{5}{g} = n )Total gadgets produced: ( w_d'' times frac{5}{d} = 1050 )We know ( g = frac{1}{5} ) and ( d = frac{1}{5} ), so ( frac{1}{g} = 5 ) and ( frac{1}{d} = 5 ).Therefore:( w_g'' times 5 times 5 = n ) => ( 25 w_g'' = n )( w_d'' times 5 times 5 = 1050 ) => ( 25 w_d'' = 1050 )From the second equation:( w_d'' = frac{1050}{25} = 42 ) workers.Since ( w_g'' + w_d'' = 70 ), then ( w_g'' = 70 - 42 = 28 ) workers.Now, substitute ( w_g'' = 28 ) into the first equation:( n = 25 times 28 = 700 )Wait, that can't be right because earlier calculations suggested ( n = 70 ). Let me check my steps.Wait, no, I think I made a mistake in the calculation.Wait, ( w_d'' = frac{1050}{25} = 42 ) is correct.Then ( w_g'' = 70 - 42 = 28 ).Then ( n = 25 times 28 = 700 ).But in the initial problem, the user's assistant had a different approach and got ( n = 70 ). So, there's a discrepancy here.Wait, perhaps I made a mistake in interpreting the rates.Let me go back.If ( g = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gizmo, then the production rate per worker per hour is ( frac{1}{g} = 5 ) gizmos per hour.Similarly, ( d = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gadget, so ( frac{1}{d} = 5 ) gadgets per hour.Therefore, in five hours, a worker assigned to gizmos can produce ( 5 times 5 = 25 ) gizmos.Similarly, a worker assigned to gadgets can produce ( 5 times 5 = 25 ) gadgets.Wait, no, that's not correct. The production per worker per hour is 5 gizmos or 5 gadgets. So, in five hours, a worker assigned to gizmos would produce ( 5 times 5 = 25 ) gizmos, and similarly for gadgets.But in the third scenario, they produced 1050 gadgets. So, if each worker assigned to gadgets produces 25 gadgets in five hours, then the number of workers assigned to gadgets is ( frac{1050}{25} = 42 ) workers.Therefore, workers assigned to gizmos: 70 - 42 = 28.Thus, gizmos produced: ( 28 times 25 = 700 ).So, ( n = 700 ).But in the initial problem, the user's assistant got ( n = 70 ). So, there's a conflict here.Wait, perhaps the initial approach was incorrect because it assumed that workers can produce both products simultaneously, which led to an incorrect value of ( n = 70 ). However, when considering that workers are dedicated to one product, the correct value is ( n = 700 ).But let me double-check the calculations.Given ( g = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gizmo, so per worker per hour, they can produce 5 gizmos.Similarly, ( d = frac{1}{5} ) hours per gadget, so 5 gadgets per worker per hour.In five hours, a worker assigned to gizmos produces ( 5 times 5 = 25 ) gizmos.Similarly, a worker assigned to gadgets produces ( 5 times 5 = 25 ) gadgets.Given that in the third scenario, 70 workers produce 1050 gadgets, the number of workers assigned to gadgets is ( frac{1050}{25} = 42 ).Therefore, workers assigned to gizmos: 70 - 42 = 28.Thus, gizmos produced: ( 28 times 25 = 700 ).So, ( n = 700 ).But the initial assistant's answer was 70, which seems incorrect based on this detailed calculation.Wait, perhaps the initial assistant made a mistake in interpreting the rates. Let me see.In the initial assistant's solution, they calculated ( g = frac{1}{5} ) and ( d = frac{1}{5} ), then concluded that each worker produces 1 gizmo in five hours, leading to ( n = 70 ).But that approach assumes that workers can only produce one product, and the time per product is such that in five hours, they produce one gizmo. However, this ignores the fact that workers can produce multiple units in that time.Therefore, the correct approach is to consider that each worker assigned to gizmos can produce 25 gizmos in five hours, and similarly for gadgets.Thus, the correct value of ( n ) is 700.However, to reconcile this with the initial problem, perhaps the initial assistant made an error in their calculation, leading to the incorrect value of 70.In conclusion, after carefully setting up the equations and solving for ( g ) and ( d ), and then applying those rates to the third scenario, the correct value of ( n ) is 700.

Find the value of x if x is positive and xcdotlfloor xrfloor=72. Express your answer as a decimal.

💡First, I recognize that the equation involves the floor function, which means ( lfloor x rfloor ) is the greatest integer less than or equal to ( x ).Given the equation ( x cdot lfloor x rfloor = 72 ), I can denote ( lfloor x rfloor ) as ( n ), where ( n ) is an integer. This transforms the equation into ( x cdot n = 72 ), so ( x = frac{72}{n} ).Since ( n ) is the floor of ( x ), it must satisfy ( n leq x < n + 1 ). Substituting ( x = frac{72}{n} ) into this inequality gives ( n leq frac{72}{n} < n + 1 ).To find the possible values of ( n ), I'll test integer values around the square root of 72, which is approximately 8.485. Testing ( n = 8 ):[8 leq frac{72}{8} < 9 8 leq 9 < 9]This inequality does not hold because 9 is not less than 9. Next, testing ( n = 9 ):[9 leq frac{72}{9} < 10 9 leq 8 < 10]This also does not hold because 8 is not greater than or equal to 9. Testing ( n = 7 ):[7 leq frac{72}{7} < 8 7 leq 10.2857 < 8]This does not hold because 10.2857 is not less than 8. Testing ( n = 10 ):[10 leq frac{72}{10} < 11 10 leq 7.2 < 11]This does not hold because 7.2 is not greater than or equal to 10.Since none of these integer values satisfy the inequality, there is no positive real number ( x ) that satisfies the original equation.

For the set ( {x mid a leqslant x leqslant b} ), we define ( b-a ) as its length. Let the set ( A={x mid a leqslant x leqslant a+1981} ), ( B={x mid b-1014 leqslant x leqslant b} ), and both ( A ) and ( B ) are subsets of the set ( U={x mid 0 leqslant x leqslant 2012} ). The minimum length of the set ( A cap B ) is ______.

💡Okay, so I have this problem here about sets A and B, which are subsets of a universal set U. The universal set U is defined as all x such that 0 ≤ x ≤ 2012. Set A is defined as {x | a ≤ x ≤ a + 1981}, and set B is defined as {x | b - 1014 ≤ x ≤ b}. I need to find the minimum length of the intersection of A and B, which is A ∩ B.First, let me make sure I understand the problem correctly. The length of a set {x | a ≤ x ≤ b} is defined as b - a. So, for set A, the length is (a + 1981) - a = 1981, and for set B, the length is b - (b - 1014) = 1014. Both A and B are subsets of U, which has a length of 2012.I need to find the minimum possible length of A ∩ B. That is, I need to arrange A and B within U such that their overlap is as small as possible. To minimize the overlap, I should try to place A and B as far apart as possible within U.Let me visualize this. The universal set U is like a line segment from 0 to 2012. Set A is a segment of length 1981, and set B is a segment of length 1014. To minimize their overlap, I should place A as far to the left as possible and B as far to the right as possible, or vice versa.But wait, since both A and B have to be entirely within U, I can't just place them anywhere. For set A, the starting point a must satisfy a + 1981 ≤ 2012. So, a ≤ 2012 - 1981 = 31. Similarly, for set B, the starting point of B is b - 1014, which must be ≥ 0. So, b - 1014 ≥ 0 ⇒ b ≥ 1014.Therefore, the earliest A can start is at a = 0, making A = [0, 1981]. The latest B can end is at b = 2012, making B = [2012 - 1014, 2012] = [998, 2012].Now, if I place A as [0, 1981] and B as [998, 2012], their intersection will be [998, 1981]. The length of this intersection is 1981 - 998 = 983.Is this the minimum possible? Let me check if there's a way to arrange A and B such that their overlap is even smaller.Suppose I move A slightly to the right. If a increases, then the end of A, which is a + 1981, also increases. Similarly, if I move B slightly to the left, the start of B, which is b - 1014, decreases. But since we want to minimize the overlap, moving A to the right and B to the left would actually increase the overlap, not decrease it.Alternatively, if I move A to the left and B to the right, but A is already as far left as it can go (starting at 0), and B is as far right as it can go (ending at 2012). So, I can't move them any further apart without violating the subset condition.Therefore, the minimum length of A ∩ B is indeed 983.Wait, let me verify that. If A is [0, 1981] and B is [998, 2012], the intersection is [998, 1981]. The length is 1981 - 998 = 983. That seems correct.Is there a way to get a smaller overlap? Suppose I shift A a bit to the right and B a bit to the left. Let's say A starts at a = 1, so A is [1, 1982], and B starts at b = 1015, so B is [1, 1015]. Wait, no, if B starts at b = 1015, then B is [1015 - 1014, 1015] = [1, 1015]. Then the intersection of A and B would be [1, 1015], which has a length of 1014, which is actually larger than 983. So that doesn't help.Alternatively, if I shift A to the right and B to the right, but then B would have to end at 2012, so B would start at 2012 - 1014 = 998. So, regardless of where I shift A, as long as B is as far right as possible, the intersection will be from 998 to a + 1981. To minimize the overlap, I need a + 1981 to be as small as possible, which occurs when a is as small as possible, i.e., a = 0. Therefore, the intersection is [998, 1981], length 983.Similarly, if I shift B to the left, but then B would start earlier, which would overlap more with A if A is fixed. So, shifting B to the left doesn't help in minimizing the overlap.Therefore, I think 983 is indeed the minimum length of A ∩ B.Just to double-check, let's consider the positions:- A is [0, 1981]- B is [998, 2012]- Intersection is [998, 1981]- Length is 1981 - 998 = 983Yes, that seems correct.Another way to think about it is that the total length of U is 2012. The combined length of A and B is 1981 + 1014 = 2995. Since 2995 > 2012, the overlap must be at least 2995 - 2012 = 983. So, by the inclusion-exclusion principle, the minimum overlap is 983.That's another way to confirm it. So, the minimum length of A ∩ B is 983.**Final Answer**The minimum length of the set ( A cap B ) is boxed{983}.
