Adam thinks of a number.
He multiplies it by 8, adds 6 and then divides it by 2.
He ends up with 131.
What was the number he started with?

Answers

Answer 1
He started with the number 32. You just have the do the opposite of the steps using the end result, 131 (131 MULTIPLIED by 2, instead of divided). Hope this helps.
Answer 2

The number Adam started with is 32.He ends up with 131.

Let's denote the number Adam started with as "x." After multiplying by 8, we have 8x.

He adds 6 to the result.

The expression becomes 8x + 6.

He divides the result by 2.

The expression becomes (8x + 6) / 2.

The final result is 131.

Setting up the equation:

(8x + 6) / 2 = 131

To find x, we can solve this equation.

Multiplying both sides by 2:

8x + 6 = 262

Subtracting 6 from both sides:

8x = 256

Dividing both sides by 8:

x = 32

Therefore, the number Adam started with is 32.

If the school has 1,000 students, about how many students can the cafeteria expect to buy pizza?
208
1,000
260
52

Answers

Answer:

260

Step-by-step explanation:

you would divide 52/200 because all the numbers added up is 200 and it comes out to 0.26 and the original number of students they wanted is 1,000 so look at those zeros and move the decimal 3 times and add the zero in the empty space to get 260.

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number. The number of students the cafeteria should expect to buy pizza is 260.

What is a Ratio?

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.

The ratio of the number of students to the number of total students can be written as,

Ratio = (Number of students)/(Number of total students)

Ratio = 52/(52+26+30+48+44) = 52/200

Now, the same ratio is applicable to 1000 students, therefore, the ratio will be,

Number of students who prefer pizza = 1000 × (52/200) = 260

Hence, the number of students the cafeteria should expect to buy pizza is 260.

The length of a rectangular garden is 8m greater than twice the width the area of the garden is 280m^2 what is the width of the garden

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

The length of the garden 8m greater than 2 times the width.

Area of the garden is 280 m²

Let us consider the length as x and width as y.

Sp, we can day length as :-

x = 8 + 2y ---(1)

Now, we know that:-

Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

280 = x * y

We can replace the value of x now,

280 = y × ( 8 + 2y)

280 = 8y + 2y²

2y² + 8y - 280 = 0

y² + 4y - 140 = 0

Factorise it.

(y -10)(y + 14)

Cancelling -ve value, we get the width as 10 metres.

Hope it helps :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = w

Length = 2w + 8

Area of rectangular garden = 280 square meter

length * width = 280

(2w + 8 ) *w = 280

2w * w + 8*w = 280

2w² + 8w = 280

2w² + 8w - 280 = 0

Divide the whole equation by 2

w² + 4w - 140 = 0      

w² + 14w - 10w - 14 *10 = 0

w(w + 14) - 10(w + 14) = 0

(w + 14)(w - 10)= 0

w - 10 = 0       {Ignore w + 14, as measurements will not be -ve}

w = 10 m

l = 2*10 +8

= 20 +8

l  = 28 m

The value V of a certain automobile that is t years old can be modeled by V(t) = 14,651(0.81). According to the model, when will the car be worth each of the following amounts?
(a) $8000
(b) $6000
(c) $1000
- The car will be worth $8000 after years.
(Type an integer or a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Answers

Answer:

a) The car will be worth $8000 after 2.9 years.

b) The car will be worth $6000 after 4.2 years.

c) The car will be worth $1000 after 12.7 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the car after t years is given by:

[tex]V(t) = 14651(0.81)^{t}[/tex]

According to the model, when will the car be worth V(t)?

We have to find t for the given value of V(t). So

[tex]V(t) = 14651(0.81)^{t}[/tex]

[tex](0.81)^t = \frac{V(t)}{14651}[/tex]

[tex]\log{(0.81)^{t}} = \log{(\frac{V(t)}{14651})}[/tex]

[tex]t\log{(0.81)} = \log{(\frac{V(t)}{14651})}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{\log{(\frac{V(t)}{14651})}}{\log{0.81}}[/tex]

(a) $8000

V(t) = 8000

[tex]t = \frac{\log{(\frac{8000}{14651})}}{\log{0.81}} = 2.9[/tex]

The car will be worth $8000 after 2.9 years.

(b) $6000

V(t) = 6000

[tex]t = \frac{\log{(\frac{6000}{14651})}}{\log{0.81}} = 4.2[/tex]

The car will be worth $6000 after 4.2 years.

(c) $1000

V(t) = 1000

[tex]t = \frac{\log{(\frac{1000}{14651})}}{\log{0.81}} = 12.7[/tex]

The car will be worth $1000 after 12.7 years.

A contractor is required by a county planning department to submit 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 forms (depending on the nature of the project) when applying for a building permit. Let y denote the number of forms required for an application, and suppose the mass function is given by p(y) 5 cy for y 5 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Determine the value of c, as well as the long-run proportion of applications that require at most three forms and the long-run proportion that require between two and four forms, inclusive.

Answers

Answer:

[tex](a)\ c = \frac{1}{15}[/tex]

[tex](b)\ 40\%[/tex]

[tex](c)\ 60\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters can be represented as:

[tex]P_Y(y) \ge 0, y =1,2,3,4,5[/tex]

[tex]P_y(y) = cy, y=1,2,3,4,5[/tex]

Solving (a): The value of c

To do this, we make use of the following rule;

[tex]\sum\limit^5_{y=1}P_Y(y_i) = 1[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]P_y(y) = cy, y=1,2,3,4,5[/tex]

This is translated to:

[tex]c*1 + c * 2 + c * 3 + c * 4 + c * 5 = 1[/tex]

[tex]c + 2c + 3c + 4c + 5c = 1[/tex]

[tex]15c = 1[/tex]

Solve for c

[tex]c = \frac{1}{15}[/tex]

(b) The proportions of applications that requires at most 3 forms

This implies that: y = 1,2,3

So, we make use of:

[tex]P(Y \le 3) = P(Y=1) + P(y=2) + P(Y=3)[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]P_y(y) = cy, y=1,2,3,4,5[/tex]

Substitute [tex]c = \frac{1}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P_y(y) =\frac{1}{15}y[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(Y \le 3) = P(Y=1) + P(y=2) + P(Y=3)[/tex]

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = \frac{1}{15} * 1 +\frac{1}{15} * 2 +\frac{1}{15} * 3[/tex]

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = \frac{1}{15} +\frac{2}{15} +\frac{3}{15}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = \frac{1+2+3}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = \frac{6}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = 0.4[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = 0.4*100\%[/tex]

[tex]P(Y\le 3) = 40\%[/tex]

(c) The proportions of applications that requires between 2 and 4 forms (inclusive)

This implies that: y = 2,3,4

So, we make use of:

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = P(Y=2) + P(Y=3) + P(Y=4)[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = 2 * \frac{1}{15} + 3 * \frac{1}{15} + 4 * \frac{1}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = \frac{2}{15} + \frac{3}{15} + \frac{4}{15}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = \frac{2+3+4}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = \frac{9}{15}[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = 0.6[/tex]

Express as percentage

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = 0.6 * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = 60\%[/tex]
