Answers

Answer 1

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A gymnasium floor is being covered by square shock-absorbing tiles.

The old gym floor required 864 square tiles. The new tiles are 2 inches larger in length and width than the old tiles. The new flooring will require only 600 tiles. What is the length of a side of one of the new shock-absorbing tiles  

Answer:

Length of the side of one of the new shock-absorbing tiles is 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Since both the area for old tiles and new tiles are the same;

so Area of old tiles = Area of new tiles,

given that; The old gym floor required 864 square tiles and new flooring will require only 600 tiles as new tiles are 2 inches larger in length and width than the old tiles.

Now let the length of the sides of the square tiles be x

Area of a square = length × length = x × x = x²

So, Area of Old tiles = 864 × x² = 864x²

Area of New tiles = 600( x + 2 )²

= 600( x² + 4x + 4 )

= 600x² + 2400x + 2400

Now, Area of old tiles = Area of new tiles

864x² - 600x² - 2400x - 2400 = 0

264x² - 2400x - 2400 = 0

we find x

Using; x = [-b ±√( b² - 4ac )] / 2a

x = [-( -2400) ±√( (-2400)² - (4 × 264 × -2400 )] / 2( 264 )

x = [ 2400 ±√( 5760000 + 2534400) ] / 528

x = [ 2400 ±√8294400 ] / 528

x = [ 2400 ±2880 ] / 528

x = [ 2400 - 2880 ] / 528  or  [ 2400 + 2880 ] / 528

x = [ -480 / 528 ] or  [ 5280 / 528 ]

x = [ -0.909 ] or  [ 10 ]

the length of the sides of the square tiles cannot be Negative

Hence, x = 10

Therefore, the length of a side of one of the new shock-absorbing tiles will be;

⇒ x + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12 inches

Length of the side of one of the new shock-absorbing tiles is 12 inches

A band of 17 pirates stole a sack of gold coins. When they tried to divide the fortune into equal portions, 3 coins remained. In the ensuing brawl over who should get the extra coins, one pirate was killed. The wealth was redistributed, but this time an equal division left 10 coins. Again an argument developed in which another pirate was killed. But now the total fortune was evenly distributed among the survivors. What was the least number of coins that could have been stolen

Answers

Answer:

The least number of coins that could have been stolen is 3,930.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the beginning, there are N coins to be distributed among 17 pirates, and we know that if we divide evenly these coins, there are 3 coins remaining.

Then we can write the total number of coins as a multiple of 17 plus 3.

N = 17*k + 3

where k is an integer.

After that, a pirate is killed, so now we have 16 pirates, and now there are 10 coins left, so now we can write N as a multiple of 16 plus 10:

N = 16*j + 10

where j is an integer.

Finally, having 15 pirates, the total number of coins can be divided evenly, then N is a multiple of 15

N = 15*m

where m is an integer.

So we have these 3 equations:

N = 17*k + 3

N = 16*j + 10

N = 15*m

So we can express equations like:

15*m = 16*j + 10

15*m = 17*k + 3

Where we need to find solutions such that both of these variables are integers.

For the first one we can write:

15*m - 16*j = 10

One way to do it, is to write this like a linear equation:

m = (16*j + 10)/15

Graph this, and find the pairs of points in the line that have bot integer values, or we can just find some values of j such that:

16*j + 10 is a multiple of 15.

For example, with j = 5 we have:

m = (16*5 + 10)/15 = 6

so j = 5 and m = 6 is a possible solution.

Now if we use m = 6 in the other equation:

15*m = 17*k + 3

we can see if k is also an integer:

k = (15*m - 3)/17

replacing m by 6:

k = (15*6 - 3)/17 = 5.1

This solution does not work.

Let's find others:

if j = 20  (at this point we already know that the possible values of j "jump" by 15 units, like 5 + 15 = 20) then:

m = (16*20 + 10)/15 = 22

Then:

j = 20 and  m = 22 is another solution.

Same as before, let's use m = 22 in the equation for k:

k = (15*22 - 3)/17 = 19.2

Let's find another solution for m.

if  j = 35

m = (16*35 + 10)/15 = 38

Using this value of m in the k equation we get:

k = (15*35 - 3)/17 = 33.4

Let's find another solution for m.

if we take j = 50 we get:

m = (15*50 + 10)/15 = 54

Using this in the k equation we get:

k = (15*54 - 3)/17 = 47.5

Eventually, for j = 5  + 15*16 = 245 we get:  (arrived by iteration, just try each time using the previous value of j plus 15)

m = (16*245 + 10)/15 = 262

replacing this in the k equation we can find:

k = (15*262 - 3)/17 = 231.

So the first solution is:

j = 245, m = 262, k = 231

Then:

N = 262*15 = 3,930

The least number of coins that could have been stolen is 3,930.

Calculate the cost of the gas.
You must show your working.​

Answers

Answer:

£59.02

Step-by-step explanation:

find the amount of gas used: 6785-6496 = 289find the cost of the gas by multiplying the 289 by 13p = 3757p = £37.57add the cost of the gas to the fixed delivery charge £37.57+£21.45 = £59.02

The number of units in meter readings will be 289. Then the cost of the gas will be £59.02.

What is a linear equation?

A connection between a number of variables results in a linear model when a graph is displayed. The variable will have a degree of one.

The linear equation is given as,

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept of the line.

Let 'x' be the number of units and 'y' be the total cost. Then the equation is given as,

y = 0.13x + 21.45

The number of units is calculated as,

x = 6785 - 6496

x = 289

The cost of the gas will be given as,

y = 0.13(289) + 21.45

y = 37.57 + 21.45

y = £59.02

The number of units in meter readings will be 289. Then the cost of the gas will be £59.02.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

[tex]O \to Orange[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(O) = 25\%[/tex] --- probability of O

[tex]n=2[/tex] --- Number of spin

Using the complement rule, the probability that a spin will not land on orange is:

[tex]P(O') = 1 - P(O)[/tex]

[tex]P(O') = 1 - 25\%[/tex]

Express as decimal

[tex]P(O') = 1 - 0.25[/tex]

[tex]P(O') = 0.75[/tex]

On two spins, the probability that it will not land on orange is:

[tex]Pr = P(O') * P(O')[/tex]

Answer:   3%

Most likely, you won't need to type in the percent symbol since that seems to be already done for you.

=========================================================

Explanation:

The outcome "2" shows up 3 times, as shown in the first column. Let A = 3.

Add up all the values in the bottom row: 3+6+8+11+14+16+15+12+9+5+1 = 100. Let B = 100. This is the total number of dice rolls.

Dividing the two values gets us A/B = 3/100 = 0.03 = 3%

The value "2" shows up 3% of the time, which is the experimental probability of getting a "2".

(5/16)*(4/15) Mya selects a fruit and you want it to be an apple so that is 5 apples out of 16 fruits total. After Mya selects one fruit and it is an apple, there is one less fruit and apple.

In the circle shown, secants PE and PF have been drawn such that arc CE = 82, arc DF=98 and the ratio of arc CD to arc EF is 2:7. Determine the measure of angle P. Show how you arrived at your answer.

Answers

Answer:

m<P = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Arc CE = 82°

Arc DF = 98°

Ratio of arc CD to Arc EF = 2:7

Thus, let,

Arc CD = 2x

Arc EF = 7x

A full circle = 360°

Therefore,

Arc CE + Arc DF + Arc CD + Arc EF = 360°

Substitute

82° + 98° + 2x + 7x = 360°

Add like terms

180° + 9x = 360°

Subtract 180° from both sides

180° + 9x - 180° = 360° - 180°

9x = 180°

Divide both sides by 9

9x/9 = 180/9

x = 20

✔️Arc CD = 2x

Plug in the value of x

Arc CD = 2(20) = 40°

Arc EF = 7x = 7(20) = 140°

✔️Find m<P:

Recall: the measure of the external angle created when two secants intersect = half the difference of the major and minor arcs that are intercepted

Thus:

m<P = ½(arc EF - arc CD)

Substitute

m<P = ½(140° - 40°)

m<P = ½(100°)

m<P = 50°
