Myra is putting together a puzzle such that every 5 days she places one quarter of the remaining pieces into the puzzle. If she started with a 800 piece puzzle, how many pieces are left to be placed after 23 days? Show the work that leads to your answer

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Initial number of pieces Myra have = 800.

Every 5 days she places one quarter of the remaining pieces into the puzzle.

To find:

The number of remaining pieces after 23 days.

Solution:

Initial number of pieces Myra have = 800.

Every 5 days she places one quarter of the remaining pieces into the puzzle.

It means, she will place the puzzles on 5,10,15,20,25,.. days. she will place the puzzle 4 times before 23 days.

The number of remaining pieces decreasing by [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex].

Formula for number of remaining pieces is

[tex]y=a_0(1-r)^t[/tex]

where, [tex]a_0[/tex] is the initial value, r is decreasing rate and t is time.

Putting [tex]a_0=800,r=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] and t=4, we get

[tex]y=800(1-\dfrac{1}{4})^4[/tex]

[tex]y=800(\dfrac{3}{4})^4[/tex]

[tex]y=800(0.75)^4[/tex]

[tex]y=800(0.31640625 )[/tex]

[tex]y=253.125[/tex]

Approximate the value to the nearest whole number.

[tex]y\approx 253[/tex]

Therefore, the number of remaining  pieces is 253.

Answer:

  y = 14x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two points, (x, y) = {(5, 80), (3, 52)}. The 2-point form of the equation for a line can be used to find the equation.

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

  y = (52 -80)/(3 -5)(x -5) +80 . . . . . fill in the given values

  y = (-28/-2)(x -5) +80 . . . . . simplify a bit

  y = 14x -70 +80 . . . . . eliminate parentheses; next, collect terms

Answer:

We conclude that the value of 'a' will be:

[tex]a=\frac{x+b^2}{2}[/tex]

Hence, option (2) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

x = 2a - b²

Let us solve the equation to solve for 'a'

[tex]x=2a-b^2[/tex]

switching sides

[tex]2a-b^2=x[/tex]

Add b² to both sides

[tex]2a-b^2+b^2=x+b^2[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]2a=x+b^2[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{b^2}{2}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]a=\frac{x+b^2}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, we conclude that the value of 'a' will be:

[tex]a=\frac{x+b^2}{2}[/tex]

Hence, option (2) is true.

The ladder will reach 11.82 ft high of the wall of his house.

The situation will form a right angle triangle. Therefore,

The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle formed.

The height of the wall is the opposite side of the triangle.

Therefore,

using trigonometric ratio,

sin 80°  = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 80° = h / 12

cross multiply

h = 12 sin 80°

h = 12 × 0.98480775301

h = 11.8176930361

height of the wall ≈ 11.82 ft

A | 8(2m+3)
B | 8(2+3m)
C | 8(2-3m)
D | 8(2m-3)

Answers

Answer:

The espression 8(2m - 3) shows the length and the width of the rectangle ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the greatest common factor of 16 and 24

∵ 16 = 1 × 16, 2 × 8, 4 × 4

∴ The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

∵ 24 = 1 × 24, 2 × 12, 3 × 8, 4 × 6

∴ The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

→ Find the common factors of 16 and 24

∵ The common factor of 16 and 24 are 1, 2, 4, 8

∵ The greatest one is 8

The greatest common factor of 16 and 24 is 8

→ Take 8 as a common factor from 16m and 24

∵ 16m ÷ 8 = 2m

∵ 24 ÷ 8 = 3

∴ 16m - 24 = 8(2m - 3)

Answers

Answer: David has 11 DVDs and 27 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

When numbers are put in ratio form they are meant to compare their relative sizes.

The first number will be the first item being compared to the other.

For instance, if you had 2 pens and 3 pencils, the ratio of your pens to your pencils will be;  2:3. The ratio of your pencils to your pens however is 3:2.

❀ Explanation :

✑ Let's Know about A.M ( Arithmetic Mean )

In statistics , a single number can be calculated from a group of data which shows the character of the whole data. This number is called the average of the while data. An average is also called the arithmethic mean or simply mean which is a measure of central tendency.

To calculate the average of the given type of data ( discrete series )  , follow the steps given below :

Make the table of 3 columns .Write down the items or observations ( x ) in the first column in ascending order and the corresponding frequency ( f ) in the second column.Multiply the data ( x ) by their corresponding frequency ( f ) and write down the product in third column of fx.Find the sum of f - column and fx - column separately.Divide the sum of fx by the sum of f , the quotient so obtained is the required mean.

Remember :

[tex] \underline{ \boxed{ \sf{mean \: = \frac{Σfx}{Σf} \: or \: \frac{Σfx}{n}}}} [/tex]

Where , Σf = N = Sum of the frequency and the symbol ' Σ ' ( sigma ) means " summation of " .

What is a function?

A function is an assertion, concept, or principle that establishes an association between two variables. Functions may be found throughout mathematics and are essential for the development of significant links.

The graph of the cubic function is shown.

The intersection of the curve with the x-axis is known as the zeroes of the function.

From the graph, the curve that cut the x-axis is only one point. Then the function has only one real zero and two complex zeroes.

Thus, the correct option is D.
