Clara and Toby are telemarketers. Yesterday, Clara reached 4 people in 10 phone calls, while Toby reached 3 people in 8 phone calls. If they continue at those rates, who will reach more people in 40 phone calls? Use the drop-down menu to show your answer.

Clara will reach 16 people while Toby will reach 15 calls.

4 out of ten=16 out of 40

3 out of 8=15 out of 40

solution:

the given function is ,

      =

the three roots of this quadratic function is , 0 ,8 and 10.all the roots are real and rational.

if a quadratic equation is of the form ,

sum of the roots = a + b +c= 0+8+10=18=  

product of roots taken two at a time = a b + b c+ c a = 0+80+0=80 =  

product of roots = a b c = 0=  

there are 11 doors in a hall starting from 0 to 11.the entry in the hall is permitted through gate number 0 and exit is allowed through only gate number 8 and 10.so, three roots(0,8,10) of quadratic function is given by entry and exit route of this hall.

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
