Three pupils are given some books to share among themselves. Molly receives 772 books, which is 345 more than Marie. Marie receives six times more books than Melanie. There are some books left over. If Melanie's share is 1/25 of the total number of books, how many books are left over?

Answers

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that the number of books that was left over was of 505.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The number of books received by Marie is given by:

M = 772 - 345 = 427.

Melanie received one-sixth of Marie, hence:

Me = 427/6 = 71.

The total amount is 25 times Melanie's amount, hence:

T = 25 x 71 = 1775.

The amount left over is:

L = 1775 - (772 + 427 + 71) = 505

How many times longer is the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 20 waves per second than the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 16,000 waves per second?

Answers

The sound wave with a frequency of 20 waves/sec is 800 longer than the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 16,000 waves/sec

Calculating wavelength

From the question, we are to determine how many times longer is the first sound wave compared to the second sound water

Using the formula,

v = fλ

∴ λ = v/f

Where v is the velocity

f is the frequency

and λ is the wavelength

For the first wave

f = 20 waves/sec

Then,

λ₁ = v/20

For the second wave

f = 16,000 waves/sec

λ₂ = v/16000

Then,

The factor by which the first sound wave is longer than the second sound wave is

λ₁/ λ₂ = (v/20) ÷( v/16000)

= (v/20) × 16000/v)

= 16000/20

= 800

Hence, the sound wave with a frequency of 20 waves/sec is 800 longer than the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 16,000 waves/sec

How to find the compound interest?

If n is the number of times the interested is compounded each year, and 'r' is the rate of compound interest annually, then the final amount after 't' years would be:

[tex]a = p(1 + \dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

An account has $26,000 after 15 years. The account received 2.3 percent interest compounded continuously.

A = 26000

R = 0.02.3

[tex]a = p(1 + \dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]26000 = p(1 + \dfrac{2.3}{100})^{15}\\\\26000 = p \times 1.4064\\\\\P= 18485.82[/tex]

20(6x4) Can you pls help me

Answers

Answer:

480

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the order of PEMDAS. First, everything in parenthesis must be completed. Since 6x4 is in parenthesis, we multiply it and get 24.
Since we now have 20(24). We can multiply them by each other.
A trick to do this manually is to notice that 20 is 10 x 2, meaning that in reality this equation is 10 x 2 x 24. Multiply 2 x 24 = 48, and 48 x 10 = 480.

Answers

The prove to show that the area of the shaded portion is 18x  - 30 is as follows: 3x² + 13x - 30 - 3x² + 5x = 18x  - 30

How to find the area of the shaded region?

The area of the shaded region can be represented as follows:

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

Therefore,

area of the rectangle = (x + 6)(3x - 5)

area of the rectangle = 3x² - 5x + 18x - 30

area of the rectangle = 3x² + 13x - 30

area of triangle = 1 / 2 × 2x × 3x - 5

area of triangle = 3x² - 5x

Therefore,

area of the shaded portion =  3x² + 13x - 30 - 3x² + 5x

area of the shaded portion = 18x  - 30

Show and explain how replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions as the one shown.
8x + 7y = 39

4x – 14y = –68

Answer:
Sample Response: Using the linear combination method, you can multiply the first equation by 2 and add the equations to get 20x = 10. Dividing both sides by 20, x = 1/2. To solve for y, substitute 1/2 for x in the equation 8x + 7y = 39 to get 4 + 7y = 39. Solving this equation, y = 5. Checking this in the other equation, 4(1/2) – 14(5) = –68 results in 2 – 70 = –68 or –68 = –68. The solution of the system shown is (1/2, 5). The system 8x + 7y = 39 and 20x = 10 is formed by replacing 4x –14y = –68 by a sum of it and a multiple of 8x + 7y = 39. Since 20(1/2) = 10, the system 8x + 7y = 39 and 20x = 10 also has a solution of (1/2, 5).

Answer:

n = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 80 people in choir

half are women , that is 40

quarter of number of women are men , that is 10

number of children = 80 - 40 - 10 = 80 - 50 = 30

number of children : number of men = 30 : 10 ( divide both parts by 10 )

children : men = 30 : 10 = 3 : 1 ← in simplest form

with n = 3

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

=> number of people in the choir = 80

=> number of women in the choir =  half the total people = 80/2 = 40

=> number of men in the choir = one quarter of the number of women =

   (1/4)*40 = 40/4 = 10

=> for the number of children,

    we subtract the sum of number of men and women from the total            

    people  = 80 - (40+10)      =        80 - 50 = 30

           number of children = 30

Which of the following tables represents a function?

Answers

Answer:  Choice B

Reason:

Choices A, C and D have repeated x values. It allows us to rule them out.

Table A has x = 6 repeating. Table C has x = 3 and x = -3 repeated. Table D has x = 4 and x = 5 show up twice each.

Whenever we have repeated x values, it indicates we do not have a function. A function is only possible when each x value goes to exactly one y value only.

Table A has the input x = 6 lead to y = 2 and y = -2 at the same time. Table C and table D are a similar story. So this is another way to rule out choices A, C and D.

Luckily table B has no repeated x values. Each x input leads to exactly one and only one y output. Therefore, table B is a function.

Side Note: the y values can repeat, but the function won't be one-to-one.

Answers

Answer:

x = 2

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can add together the equations so the x term cancels out:

  -3x + 5y = -11

+ (3x + 7y = -1)

The -3x and 3x cancel out, 5y and 7y add to 12y, and -11 and -1 add to -12:

12y = -12

Divide by 12 on both sides to get

y = -1

We can substitute this value into one of the equations to solve for x:

3x + 7y = -1

3x +7(-1) = -1

3x - 7 = -1

3x = 6

x = 2
