If all the books on a shelf with fewer than 45 books were put into piles of five books each, no books would remain. If the same book were put into piles of seven books each, two books would remain. What is the greatest number of books that could be on the shelf?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence the greatest number of books that could be on the shelf is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

Here the given number of books is m,  

m < 45.  

If they are arranged into piles of five books, each no books would remain.  

m is divisible by 5.  

The last digit of m would be 5 or 0.    

The same number of books, when arranged with piles of 7 books each, two books remain.  

m-2 is divisible by 7.  

Step 2:-  

The last digit of m is 5 or 0.  

m-2 will have the last digit 3 or 8.    

Multiples of 7 are 7,14,21,28,35, 42;  

among which only number 28 has the last digit 8 or 3.    

m - 2 = 28  

m = 30  

The greatest number of books that could be on the shelf is 30.

a is the y-interceptb can be any number

since the function crosses y-axis at (0,4) point

What is the correct answer to this multiple choice question? Please help!

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\sqrt[3]{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we need to take the square root of both sides with a certain degree.

[tex]4^6 = a^{18}[/tex]

We can take the root of both sides with a degree of 18.

[tex]\sqrt[18]{4^6} = \sqrt[18]{a^{18}} \\(4^6)^{\frac{1}{18} } = a\\a = 4^{\frac{6}{18} } = 4^{\frac{1}{3} } = \sqrt[3]{4}[/tex]

It's helpful to understand that when a number has its square root taken with some degree n. The square root can be represented as just the value raised to the (1/n) power.

It's also helpful to understand that when you raise something to the power of another power, you can simply multiply the powers together. For instance (2^3)^5 = 2^15

The lengths of the diameters of two concentric circles are 6 and 8. What is the distance between the circles?

Answers

Answer:  1 unit

Explanation:

The diameters are 6 and 8, which cut in half to 3 and 4 respectively.

The difference in these radii values is 4-3 = 1.

This is the distance from one circle's edge to the other circle's edge, such that we're on the same line that goes through the center of the circles. This is the gap width or ring width so to speak.

What is the expected value?

Answers

Answer:

2.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a probability is given by the formula:

E(x) = Σxp(x)

Therefore from the table showing the winnings of a game, the expected value of the probability distribution is:

E(x) = Σxp(x) = (0 * 0.5) + (2 * 0.2) + (4 * 0.15) + (6 * 0.1) + (10 * 0.05)

E(x) = 0 + 0.4 + 0.6 + 0.6 + 0.5 = 2.1

Hence we can conclude that the expected value of the winnings of the game is 2.1.

A regular square pyramid has a slant height of 5 in and a base area of 49 in2. Find the surface area of the pyramid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 171.5 square inches 70 square inches 119 square inches 245 square inches

Answers

Answer:

C: 119 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Slant height; L = 5 in

Base area; B = 49 in²

Since it's a square pyramid, the base portion has a square shape.

Thus, area of base = x²

Where x is a side of the square.

Thus;

x² = 49

x = √49

x = 7

Perimeter of base = 7 × 4 = 28 in

Area of pyramid = ½PL + B

Plugging in the relevant values;

Area of pyramid = (½ × 28 × 5) + 49

Area of pyramid = 119 in²

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. To find the area of the shaded region, you'd find the area of the white rectangular shape, next, find the area of the whole triangular shape, then find the difference of their areas to get the area of the shaded region. Thus, the formula to use would be:

Area of shaded region = area of triangle - area of rectangle

Area of shaded region = ½*base*height - length*width

1. a. Volume of triangular prism = area of triangular base * height of prism

Volume of triangular prism = ½bh * H

Where,

b = 6 m

h = 4 m

H = 8 m

Substitute

Volume of prism = ½*6*4*8

Volume of prism = 96 m³

b. Volume of sphere = ⁴/3πr³

Where,

r = 9 cm

Substitute

Volume = ⁴/3*π*9³

Volume = ⁴/3*π*729

Volume ≈ 3,053.6 cm³ (nearest tenth)

2. Use Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the cone

radius of the cone (r) = ½(16) = 8 cm

Slant height (l) = 11 cm

height (h) = ?

Using Pythagorean theorem, we have:

h = √(l² - r²)

Substitute

h = √(11² - 8²)

h = √(57)

h ≈ 7.5 cm (nearest tenth)

b. Volume of the cone = ⅓πr²h

where,

r = 8 cm

h = 7.5 cm

Volume = ⅓*π*8²*7.5

Volume = 502.7 cm³ (nearest tenth)

provisions for 630 men to last for 25 days. How many men must be transferred to another camp so that the food lasts for 30 days?​

Answers

Answer:

105

Step-by-step explanation:

25 days = Food for 630 men

30 days = x           (Inverse variation)

30 * x = 630 * 25

x = 630 * 25/30

  = 21 * 25

  = 525 men.

630 - 525 = 105 men.

Therefore, 105 men must be transferred to another camp so that the food lasts for 30 days.

Answer:  4

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

Explanation:

1/2 = 4/8 after multiplying top and bottom by 8

So the mixed number 7  1/2 is the same as 7  4/8

We can convert to an improper fraction like so

7  4/8

7 + 4/8

7*(8/8) + 4/8

56/8 + 4/8

(56+4)/8

60/8

Notice how dividing 60 over 8 leads to 7 remainder 4. Think of it like having 60 cookies and you want to share them amongst 8 friends. Each friend gets 7 whole cookies (7*8 = 56 taken so far) and then we have 60-56 = 4 left over as the remainder.

Through similar steps, you should find that the mixed number 1  7/8 converts to the improper fraction 15/8.

-----------------------------

To rephrase the problem with improper fractions would be to say:

"The electrician needs to buy 60/8 feet of wire. There are 15/8 feet of wire in each spool. How many spools should the electrician buy?"

Let x be the answer to that question.

We multiply the number of spools (x) by the amount of feet of wire per spool (15/8) to get the expression (15/8)x

Set this equal to the target 60/8 and solve for x

(15/8)x = 60/8

15x = 60 .... multiply both sides by 8 to clear out the fractions

x = 60/15

x = 4

The electrician needs to buy exactly 4 spools

-----------------------------

A different approach could have us convert each mixed number into decimal form

7  1/2 = 7 + 1/2 = 7 + 0.5 = 7.5

1  7/8 = 1 + 7/8 = 1 + 0.875 = 1.875

So the electrician needs to buy 7.5 ft total and each spool has 1.875 ft of wire.

Using the same idea as before, we would then have,

1.875x = 7.5

x = (7.5)/(1.875)

x = 4
