Grandma baked 96 cookies and gave them to her grandchildren. One of the grandchildren, Cindy, received 5 fewer cookies than she would have received had all of the cookies been evenly divided among the h grandchildren.
How many cookies did Cindy receive?
Write your answer as an expression.

Answers

Answer 1
If the cookies had been divided equally between the h grandchildren then each grandchild would receive 96/h  cookies.
So Cindy  received (96/h) - 5   cookies
Answer 2
Does not say how many grandchildren. Say n, integer. So, all received some cookies, x, except Cindy, who received 5 less than the even number:

even number= 96/n, Cindy gets 96/n-5, the rest receive the rest of the cookies:

96 - (96/n-5) = 96*(1-1/n) + 5 = 96*(n-1)/n + 5.

Then each of them (n-1) receive the previous number divided by (n-1) -Cindy is not there:

each of the other grandchildren receives:

96/n + 5/(n-1), and Cindy receives 96/n-5, it just needs to be positive.

So any number 'n' which divides 96 and 'n-1' divides 5 works.

Indeed ONLY n=6, makes 5/(6-1) possible.

So there are 6 grandchildren:

5 receive 17 cookies, and Cindy gets 11.

If it were evenly distributed, all would have got 96/6 = 16 cookies.

Now 5 get one more cookie, and Cindy 5 less.

WOW. Very nice problem!! Gonna share it :)

A social networking site recorded that 80% of the people who became members of the site one month were between 30 and 40 years old. The equation below represents this information, where x represents the total number of people who became members of the site that month: x = 0.8x + 72 How many people who became members of the site that month were between 30 and 40 years of age?

Answers

x = 0.8x + 72

 when x is alone you can say it is 1x

Subtract 0.8x from both sides:

0.2x = 72

x = 72/0.2 

x = 360


Final answer:

To solve the equation x = 0.8x + 72, subtract 0.8x from both sides and then divide by 0.2 to solve for x. The result is 360.

Explanation:

To solve the equation x = 0.8x + 72, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. First, subtract 0.8x from both sides: x - 0.8x = 0.8x + 72 - 0.8x. Simplifying this gives 0.2x = 72. Then, divide both sides by 0.2 to solve for x: x = 72 ÷ 0.2 = 360. Therefore, 360 people who became members of the site that month were between 30 and 40 years of age.

Answers

Since we are given the lengths of 2 sides with the angle in between, therefore by cosine law we can only construct 1 triangle from this. By stating the angle in between, this constricts the possible number of triangles that can be formed into 1.

By calculation, the length of the 3rd side is calculated using cosine law:

Answers

The interquartile range (IQR) is 20

You find this by subtracting the values of Q3 and Q1
Q3 is the right most edge of the box which is 45
Q1 is the left most edge of the box which is 25

IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 45 - 25 = 20

Side Note: The median is not 45. The median is actually 40 since this is the middle line of the box, which is in between 35 and 45

A vineyard owner hires 25 people to harvest grapes. The vineyard covers 30 acres. The harvest takes 9 days to complete. A neighbour has a vineyard measuring 20 acres and needs his harvest finished in 5 days. Assuming all people work at the same rate, how many people should he hire?

Please show working out.

Answers

Answer: 30 people

In the first vineyard, it needs 25 people working for 9 days to finish 30 acres of vineyard. Using this information you can determine the worker speed. The number of worker and days were given will increase the speed, but the area of the vineyard will decrease it. The calculation would be:

Worker speed= worker number * times given / vineyard area
Worker speed= 25 people * 9 days / 30 acres = 7.5 people days /acres 

Applying the same calculation into the second vineyard would be:
Worker speed= worker number * times given / vineyard area
7.5 people days /acres = worker number * 5 days / 20 acres
Worker number= (7.5 people days /acres ) / 5 days x 20 acres= 30 people

Write y less than 21

Answers

I'm assuming you want us to translate the phrase into a mathematical inequality. 

"y less than..." means the y variable is less than something. "... 12" Which is 12.

In mathematics we use the < symbol to indicate "less than"

So, y < 12 is the answer.

Answer:

21-y

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics the signs used for more than is + and for less than is -.

The question is asking us to write y less than 21 in mathematical statement form.

y less than 21 means 21-y,

Hence the mathematical statement for y less than 21 is 21-y.

The length of the missing side = side B = 17 (D) or 51(A)

Further explanation

Triangles are flat fields bounded by 3 intersecting sides and 3 angles

This side can be the same length or different.

If at an angle there is an angle of 90 degrees, this triangle is said to be a right angle

There is a hypotenuse in this triangle which is the sum of the two sides

[tex]\large{\boxed{\bold{C^2=A^2+B^2}}[/tex]

where c = hypotenuse

a and b = side/leg

This formula is known as the Pythagorean theorem which states that:

the hypotenuse or the longest side in a right triangle equal to the sum of the squares of the other sides.

or

the sum of the squares of the length of the two sides equals the square of the length of the hypotenuse

While the angle formulas used are

sin a = opposite / hypotenuse cos a = adjacent / hypotenuse tan a = opposite / adjacent

From the problem it is known that side A = 38 ,side b = b, side c = 34

There are 2 possible solutions to this problem because the image does not exist:

1. side A as the hypotenuse side (the longest side) 2. side B as hypotenuse side

Possible Solution no 1

A² = C²+B²(A=hypetenuse)

B² = A²-C²

B² = 38² - 34²

B² = 288

B = √288

B = 16.97, round to the nearest tenth ⇒ 17 (answer D)

Possible Solution no 2

B² = A²+C²(B=hypotenuse)

B² = 38² + 34²

B² = 2600

B = √2600

B = 50.99, round to the nearest tenth ⇒ 51 (answer A)

If you need further help, please let me know.....



Answer with explanation:Let x denotes the number of packets of vanilla wafers.and y denotes the number of packets of chocolate wafers.

Vanilla wafers cost $4 per packet

and chocolate wafers for $1 per packet

They spent a total of $45 .

This means that the equation that can be formed using this information is:

                   4x+y=45

and they buy a total of 27 packets of wafers.

i.e.   the equation formed with the help of this information is:

              x+y=27

PART A:

The system of equations that can be solved to find the number of packets of vanilla wafers and the number of packets of chocolate wafers that Josh and his friends bought at the carnival is:

                 4x+y=45-------------------(1)

and             x+y=27----------------(2)

PART B:

We will use the method of substitution because with the help of this method we could easily substitute the value of one variable in terms of the other variable and obtain the answer.

Using equation (2) we have:

   y=27-x-------------------(3)

On putting this value of y in equation (1) we have:

4x+27-x=45

i.e.

4x-x+27=45

i.e.

3x+27=45

i.e.

3x=45-27

i.e.

3x=18

i.e.

x=6

and on putting the value of x in equation (3) we have:

y=27-6

i.e.   y=21

Hence, number of vanilla wafers purchased = 6

and number of chocolates wafers purchased = 21

Which statement best compares the rate of change of the two functions?

Answers

Final answer:

The rate of change of a function is reflected in the steepness of its graph. A function with a higher rate of change will have a steeper line. The correct comparison statement will depend on the specific slopes of Line A and Line B.

Explanation:

In the context of this question, the rate of change refers to the steepness of the lines or the slopes of the functions represented by the lines. When comparing the rates of change of two functions, you look at how steep or flat each line is.

Let's consider the statements given:

Line A is a decreasing line while line B is an increasing line, with line B being much steeper than line A.Line A is a decreasing line while line B is an increasing line, with line A being much steeper than line B.Line B is a decreasing line while line A is an increasing line, with line A being much steeper than line B.Line B is a decreasing line while line A is an increasing line, with line B being much steeper than line A.

To determine the best statement, analyze the steepness of the lines. For example, if Line A is decreasing and much steeper than Line B, then it would have a larger (but negative) rate of change.

Remember, the

rate of change

in a function can be understood as the rate at which the y-values are changing for each increment in the x-values. A higher rate of change means the function is increasing or decreasing more quickly.
