Roy used 1/4 of his money on 3 pens and 6 notebooks. The cost of each pen is 3 times the cost of each notebook. He bought some more pens with 2/3 of his remaining money. How many pens did Roy buy altogether? ​

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  13 pens

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

Explanation:

Roy spends 1/4 of his money on 3 pens and 6 notebooks. That means 3/4 of it is leftover.

2/3 of 3/4 = (2/3)*(3/4) = 1/2 of his money is spent on buying some unknown number of additional pens. We'll come back to this later.

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

In terms of cost,

1 pen = 3 notebooks

which is another way of saying 1 pen is the same price as 3 notebooks.

Multiply both sides by 2 to get

2 pens = 6 notebooks

Therefore, saying "3 pens + 6 notebooks" is the same as "3 pens + 2 pens = 5 pens" when just thinking about costs.

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

In short, Roy buying 3 pens and 6 notebooks is the same as him buying 5 pens. He spends 1/4 = 25% of his money on getting these 5 pens.

Multiply those two values by 2 to find that 50% = 1/2 of his money would allow him to get 10 pens.

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

Recall that at the end of the first section, we concluded that Roy spent 1/2 of his money on buying those unknown additional number of pens. Then the previous section mentioned that 1/2 of his money gets him 10 pens. Therefore, he must have bought 10 additional pens on top of the original 3 mentioned in the instructions.

Overall, he purchased 3+10 = 13 pens

Answer 2

Answer:

  13 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

If a pen costs 3 times the cost of a notebook, then the cost of 3 notebooks will equal the cost of a pen. The 6 notebooks that Roy bought are equivalent in cost to 2 pens, so 1/4 of Roy's money is the cost of 3+2 = 5 pens.

After the first purchase, Roy has (1 -1/4) = 3/4 of his money remaining. If he spends 2/3 of that on more pens, he will have spent ...

  (2/3)(3/4) = 2/4

of his money on more pens. We've already seen that 1/4 of his money buys 5 pens, so 2/4 will buy 10 more pens.

Roy bought 3 +10 = 13 pens altogether.

1.5kg : 350g solve the ratio​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

convert kg into grams

1kg=1000g

1.5kg/350g=1.5×1000g/350

1500/350=300/70

=30/7

ratio will be 30:7

answer is 4.2g

The answer to the ratio is:

4.2g

First of all, we need to convert the kg to g

This can be done by multiplying the Kg by 1000

1.5kg x 1000= 1500g

Next, we solve the ratio since they are in the same parameters

This would be 1500g:350g

1500/350= 30/7.

Therefore, the ratio would be 30:7

Finally when further broken down, it would be 4.2g

At a school 60% of students buy a school lunch. Only 10% of students buy lunch and dessert. What is the probability that a student who buys lunch also buys dessert?

Answers

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A) = probability a student buys lunch = 60% = 0.6

P(B) = probability a student buys lunch and dessert = 10% = 0.1

We are looking at the probability that a student buys lunch and dessert on the condition that they already bought lunch. Therefore, we are looking at a conditional probability.

P(B given A) = P(A and B) / P(A)

= 0.1 / 0.6

Using the unit circle, determine the value of sin 450°

Answers

Answer:

To find the value of sin 450 degrees using the unit circle, represent 450° in the form (1 × 360°) + 90° [∵ 450°>360°] ∵ sine is a periodic function, sin 450° = sin 90°.

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of sin 450 degrees using the unit circle, represent 450° in the form (1 × 360°) + 90° [∵ 450°>360°] ∵ sine is a periodic function, sin 450° = sin 90°.

Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form a 90° or 450° angle with the positive x-axis.

The sin of 450 degrees equals the y-coordinate(1) of the point of intersection (0, 1) of unit circle and r.

Hence the value of sin 450° = y = 1

[tex] y = -\dfrac{11}{2}x - 52 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Line through points (-10, 3) and (-8, -8).

slope = (-8 - 3)/(-8 - (-10)) = -11/2

y = mx + b

y = (-11/2)x + b

-8 = (-11/2)(-8) + b

-8 = 44 + b

b = -52

y = (-11/2)x - 52

A line is a one-dimensional shape that is straight, has no thickness, and extends in both directions indefinitely. The equation of the line passing through (-10,3) and (−8, -8) is y=(-11/2)x-52.

What is the equation of a line?

A line is a one-dimensional shape that is straight, has no thickness, and extends in both directions indefinitely. The equation of a line is given by,

y =mx + c

where,

x is the coordinate of the x-axis,

y is the coordinate of the y-axis,

m is the slope of the line, and

c is the y-intercept.

The slope fo the line passing through (-10,3) and (−8, -8) is

Slope, m = (-8-3)/(-8+10) = -11/2

Now, equate a point in the equation,

3 = -10(-11/2) + C

3 = 55 + C

c = -52

Hence, the equation of the line passing through (-10,3) and (−8, -8) is y=(-11/2)x-52.
