A drawer contains 12 identical white socks, 18 identical black socks
and 14 identical brown socks. What is the least number of socks you
must choose, without looking, to be certain that you have chosen two socks of the same colour?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2 brown

Step-by-step explanation:

The only time you can be so sure you've chosen 2 brown socks is when there are no more white socks and black socks. This means that to be 100% sure that you have chosen 2 brown socks you have to choose the 12 white socks and the 18 black socks and only then can you choose 2 brown socks without looking. Therefore, the total number of socks to choose from is:

Total number of socks = 12 white socks + 18 black socks + 2 brown socks

Total number of socks = 32 socks

A total picking of 32 socks is necessary to be sure without looking that 2 brown have already been chosen that way.

Answer 2

The least number of socks must choose, must choose without looking, to be certain that you have chosen two socks of the same color is 4.

What is least number?

The least number is "the smallest or lowest number or degree".

According to the question,

A drawer contains 12 identical white socks, 18 identical black socks, and 14 identical brown socks.

In order to find the least number of socks you must choose, without looking, to be certain that you have chosen two socks of the same color.

Since, we have only 3 different colors to get pair of one color we need to take 4 socks so that last one must matches color of socks what we have already have in our hand.

Hence, it clearly shows the least number of socks must choose, without looking, to be certain that you have chosen two socks of the same color is 4.

21. Transportation A youth group with 26 members is going skiing. Each of the five
chaperones will drive a van or sedan. The vans can seat seven people, and the
sedans can seat five people. Assuming there are no empty seats, how many of each
type of vehicle could transport all 31 people to the ski area in one trip?

Answers

Answers:

2 sedans and 3 vans

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

Work Shown:

s = number of sedans

v = number of vans

1 sedan = 5 seats

s sedans = 5s seats

1 van = 7 seats

v vans = 7v seats

5s+7v = all seats

5s+7v = 31

Let's go through all the values of s to see which values of v work.

If s = 0, then the equation turns into 7v = 31, but the solution for v isn't an integer.If s = 1, then the equation turns into 5+7v = 31 and that solves to v = 26/7 = 3.71 which also isn't an integerIf s = 2, then the equation becomes 10+7v = 31 and that solves to v = 3. So we found the answer. This means we need 2 sedans and 3 vans.

As a check:

2 sedans = 5*2 = 10 seats

3 vans = 7*3 = 21 seats

10+21 = 31 seats total

This confirms the answer.

The number of vans used is three and the number of sedans is two

Let :

v represent the number of vans

s represent the number of sedans

The following equations can be gotten

7v + 5s = 31 equation 1

v + s = 5 equation 2

The elimination method would be used to solve for v and s

Multiply equation 2 by 7

7v + 7s = 35 equation 3

Subtract equation 1 from 3

2s = 4

s = 4/2

s = 2

Substitute for s in equation 2

v + 2 = 5

v = 5 - 2

v = 3

Given the third term is 12 and the rate of change is 3. What is the 5th term

Answers

Answer:

The 5th term:

a₅ = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Arithmetic sequences have a constant rate of change.

Given

a₃ = 12common difference = rate pf change = d = 3

The nth term of the Arithmetic sequence with a₁ and 'd' is defined as

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d

Where

a₁ is the first term

d is the common difference

as

a₃ = 12

d = 3

so

Plug in n=3

a₃ = a₁ + (3-1)d

Now Plug in a₃ = 12 and d = 3

12 = a₁ + (3-1)3

12 = a₁ + 2(3)

12 = a₁ + 6

a₁ = 6

so

Formula to find the 5th term

a₅ = a₁ + 4d

Plug in a₁ = 6 and d = 3

a₅ = 6 + 4(3)

a₅ = 18

Therefore, the 5th term:

a₅ = 18

Matthew took a cab home from his office. The cab charged a flat fee of $4, plus $2 per mile. Matthew paid $34 for the trip Write an equation to show the number of miles Matthew drove ​

Answers

Answer:

(34-4)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would subtract the flat fee of 4 dollars from the total ($34) which would give you 30 then you divide 30 by the rate or dollars per mile (2) which would leave you with 15 so he drove 15 miles and if you were to writ this as an equation (as shown above) it would look like this (34-4)/2 where you first subtract (hence the parentheses) then you would divide (hence the / ).

janet can read 2.95 pages of a book in a minute if she reads for 4.7 minutes how much would she have read

Answers

Answer:

Janet reads 13.865 pages in 4.7 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Janet can read 2.95 pages of a book in a minute.

unit rate = 2.95 pages/per minute

As she reads for 4.7 minutes.

We just need to multiply 4.7 minutes with 2.95 to determine total pages she would read in 4.7 minutes.

i.e.

4.7 × 2.95 = 13.865 pages

Therefore, Janet reads 13.865 pages in 4.7 minutes.
