Answer

12\frac{1}{2}

Ksh. 2520\text{Ksh. } 2520

x=18x = \frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step solution

10 steps
  1. Evaluate the expression inside the square root.

    To combine the fractions, find a common denominator, which is 12.

    112−13+12=112−1×43×4+1×62×6\frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 4} + \frac{1 \times 6}{2 \times 6} =112−412+612= \frac{1}{12} - \frac{4}{12} + \frac{6}{12} =1−4+612= \frac{1 - 4 + 6}{12} =312= \frac{3}{12}

    Simplify the fraction:

    312=14\frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}
  2. Take the square root of the simplified fraction.

    14=14\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{4}} =12= \frac{1}{2}

    The evaluated expression is 12\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}.

  3. Calculate the new hourly rate.

    The original rate is Ksh. 210 per hour. The rate changed in the ratio 8:7, meaning the new rate is 87\frac{8}{7} times the old rate.

    New rate=Ksh. 210×87\text{New rate} = \text{Ksh. } 210 \times \frac{8}{7} New rate=Ksh. (210÷7)×8\text{New rate} = \text{Ksh. } (210 \div 7) \times 8 New rate=Ksh. 30×8\text{New rate} = \text{Ksh. } 30 \times 8 New rate=Ksh. 240 per hour\text{New rate} = \text{Ksh. } 240 \text{ per hour}
  4. Convert the total working hours to an improper fraction.

    1012 hours=2×10+12 hours=212 hours10\frac{1}{2} \text{ hours} = \frac{2 \times 10 + 1}{2} \text{ hours} = \frac{21}{2} \text{ hours}
  5. Calculate the total earnings.

    Total earnings=New rate×Total hours\text{Total earnings} = \text{New rate} \times \text{Total hours} Total earnings=Ksh. 240×212\text{Total earnings} = \text{Ksh. } 240 \times \frac{21}{2} Total earnings=Ksh. (240÷2)×21\text{Total earnings} = \text{Ksh. } (240 \div 2) \times 21 Total earnings=Ksh. 120×21\text{Total earnings} = \text{Ksh. } 120 \times 21 Total earnings=Ksh. 2520\text{Total earnings} = \text{Ksh. } 2520

    Baraka would earn Ksh. 2520\boxed{\text{Ksh. } 2520}.

  6. Express all bases as powers of 2.

    The given equation is 43x×8=(132)2x−14^{3x} \times 8 = \left(\frac{1}{32}\right)^{2x-1}.
    We know that 4=224 = 2^2, 8=238 = 2^3, and 32=2532 = 2^5.
    Therefore, 132=2−5\frac{1}{32} = 2^{-5}.
    Substitute these into the equation:

    (22)3x×23=(2−5)2x−1(2^2)^{3x} \times 2^3 = (2^{-5})^{2x-1}
  7. Apply the power rule (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{mn}.

    22×3x×23=2−5×(2x−1)2^{2 \times 3x} \times 2^3 = 2^{-5 \times (2x-1)} 26x×23=2−10x+52^{6x} \times 2^3 = 2^{-10x + 5}
  8. Apply the product rule am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n} on the left side.

    26x+3=2−10x+52^{6x+3} = 2^{-10x + 5}
  9. Since the bases are equal, equate the exponents.

    6x+3=−10x+56x + 3 = -10x + 5
  10. Solve the linear equation for xx.

    Add 10x10x to both sides:

    6x+10x+3=56x + 10x + 3 = 5 16x+3=516x + 3 = 5

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    16x=5−316x = 5 - 3 16x=216x = 2

    Divide by 16:

    x=216x = \frac{2}{16} x=18x = \frac{1}{8}

    The solution is x=18\boxed{x = \frac{1}{8}}.
