Sam and Mary collect marbles. “If you give me 5 marbles I’ll have twice as many as you.” said Sam to Mary.
“But if you give me 4 marbles wwe would have the same number said Mary to Sam.
How many marbles do they have altogether?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

54 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a word problem leading to a simultaneous equation

Let 'x' represent the initial number of marbles with Sam, and let 'y' represent the initial number of marbles with Mary,

If Mary gives Sam 5 marbles, we have;

x + 5 = 2 × (y - 5)...(1)

If Sam gives Mary 4 marbles, we get;

x - 4 = y + 4...(2)

From equation (1), we get;

x + 5 = 2 × (y - 5) = 2·y - 10

x = 2·y - 10 - 5 = 2·y - 15

x = 2·y - 15...(3)

From equation (2), we have;

x - 4 = y + 4

∴ x = y + 4 + 4 = y + 8

x = y + 8...(4)

Equating the two values of 'x' in equation (3), and equation (4), we get;

2·y - 15 = y + 8

2·y - y = 8 + 15 = 23

∴ y = 23

From equation (4), we get;

x = y + 8 = 23 + 8 = 31

x = 31

The total number of marbles they have altogether = x + y

However, x + y = 23 + 31 = 54

Therefore;

The total number of marbles they have altogether = 54 marbles.

Find the mean.

Answers

Answer:

Mean = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Number of games = 8

Scores = 5, 11, 9, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7

We would sum all the scores together to get a total score.

Total scores = 5 + 11 + 9 + 9 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 56

Now, to find the mean;

[tex] Mean = \frac {total \; scores}{number \; of \; games} [/tex]

Mean = 56/8

Mean = 7

Answer:

7 is the mean score.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now we have to,

→ find the required mean score.

The given scores are,

→ 5, 11, 9, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7

→ Numbers = 8

Then the mean score will be,

→ (5 + 11 + 9 + 9 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7)/8

→ 56/8 = 7

Hence, the mean score is 7.

The sum of the first eight terms in a Geometric Series is 19680 and the sum of the first four terms is 240. A) Find the first term. B) Find the common ratio. C) Justify your answers by showing steps that demonstrates your answers generate S8=19680 and S4=240.

Answers

Answer:

First Term = 6

Common Ratio = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given, The sum of the first eight terms in a Geometric Series is 19680 and the sum of the first four terms is 240 .

Thus, [tex]S_{8} = 19680[/tex] & [tex]S_{4} = 240[/tex] .

The Sum of n-term of Geometric Mean is [tex]S_{n} = \frac{a(r^{n-1)} }{r-1}[/tex] Where, r>1 , a=First term of G.P & r=common Ratio .

Now, on solving  [tex]\frac{S_{8} }{S_{4} }[/tex]  we get,

[tex]\frac{19680}{240} = \frac{\frac{a(r^{8-1)} }{r-1}}{\frac{a(r^{4-1)} }{r-1}}[/tex]  

[tex]82 = \frac{r^{8}-1 }{r^{4}-1 }[/tex]

[tex]82r^{4}-82 = r^{8}-1\\r^{8}-82r^{4}+81 = 0\\r^{8}-81r^{4}-r^{4}+81 = 0\\(r^{4}-81)( r^{4}-1) =0[/tex](r=1 is not possible so neglect [tex]( r^{4}-1) =0[/tex] )

So, r=3 Now Put this value in [tex]S_{4} = {\frac{a(r^{4-1)} }{r-1}}[/tex] We get a=6 .

9 What is the volume of the cone below? * 267.95 in3 33.49 in3 133.97 in3

Answers

Answer:

Volume of cone = 33.49 inch³

Step-by-step explanation:

Missing information;

Height of cone = 8 inch

Diameter of cone = 4 inch

Find:

Volume of cone

Computation:

Radius of cone = Diameter of cone / 2

Radius of cone = 4 / 2

Radius of cone = 2 inch

Volume of cone = [1/3][πr²h]

Volume of cone = [1/3][(3.14)(2)²8]

Volume of cone = [1/3][(3.14)(4)8]

Volume of cone = [1/3][(3.14)(32)]

Volume of cone = [1/3][100.48]

Volume of cone = 33.49 inch³

What is the image point of (4, 6) after the
transformation T5,2 O ry=-x?

Answers

Answer:

The image point is (-1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to reflect the given point over the line y = -x after which we perform the translation using the coordinate (5,2)

Mathematically;

If we reflect a point (x,y) over the line y = -x

we have the coordinate change to (-y,-x)

so, (4,6) becomes (-6,-4)

Then for the translation, we add 5 to the new x-axis coordinate, then add 2 to the new y-axis coordinate

we have this as;

(-6 + 5, 2-4) = (-1,-2)

Find the surface area and the volume of the figure
Round to the nearest tenth if needed.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area:

S = 2(lw + lh + wh) + 2πrhS = 2(9*4 + 9*5 + 4*5) + 2*3.14*2*3 = 239.7 cm² (rounded)

Volume:

V = lwh + πr²hV = 9*4*5 + 3.14*2²*3 = 217.7 cm³ (rounded)

Answer:

> V = 217.68 cm³

> S = 227.14 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to find the surface area and the volume of the given figure . This question is from Combination of solids . As we can see that this figure is made up of a cuboid and cylinder.

Firstly let's find out the volume .

> V = V_( cuboid) + V_(cylinder)

> V = 9cm × 4cm × 5cm + π × ( 2cm)²× 3cm

> V = 180 cm³ + 3.14 × 4cm² × 3cm

> V = 180 cm³ + 37.68 cm³

> V = 217.68 cm³

Lets find the surface area :-

> S = S_( cuboid) + S_( cylinder) - πr²

> S = 2( 9×4 + 4× 5 + 5×9) cm² + 2×π×2cm × 3cm - 3.14 × (2cm)²

> S = 239.7 cm² - 12.56 cm²

> S = 227.14 cm²

Note :-

Here we subtracted πr² from the total surface area of cuboid and cylinder because that much area of the cuboid was covered by the base of the cylinder .

4.2.1
If the car costs R200 000, what will it be worth after 1 year?

Answers

Given:

In the first year, the car will decrease in value by 25%.

The cost of a car is Rs. 200,000.

To find:

The worth of the car after 1 year.

Solution:

The cost of a car is Rs. 200,000 and in the first year the car will decrease in value by 25%. So, the worth of the car after 1 year is:

[tex]Worth=200000-\dfrac{25}{100}\times 200000[/tex]

[tex]Worth=200000-\dfrac{1}{4}\times 200000[/tex]

[tex]Worth=200000-50000[/tex]

[tex]Worth=150000[/tex]

Therefore, the worth of the car after 1 year is Rs. 150,000.
