Question 19
A game consists of black and white pieces. The number of black pieces is 5 more than 3 times the white pieces. Seven white and 15 black pieces are removed each round. After several rounds, there are 3 white and 56 black pieces left. How many pieces were there in the beginning?
A. 52
B. 158
C. 210
D. 213
E. 218

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 213

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of black pieces is 5 more than 3 times the white pieces:

b = 3w + 5

Let the number of rounds is x.

Initial number of white nd black pieces:

w = 7x + 3b = 15x + 56

Substitute the values of b and w into first equation and find the value of x:

15x + 56 = 3(7x + 3) + 515x + 56 = 21x + 146x = 42x = 7

Find the number of pieces:

w = 7*7 + 3 = 52b = 3*52 + 5 = 161w + b = 52 + 161 = 213

Correct choice is D

Step-by-step explanation:

61.43-21.75=39.68 is the cell phone bill in July.

39.68+13.62= 53.30 is the phone bill in June.

Answer:

53.30

Step-by-step explanation:

August= 61.43

July= (61.43-21.75) or 39.68

June= (39.68+13.62) or 53.30

Step-by-step explanation:

The owner of Get-A-Away Travel has recently surveyed a random sample of 496 customers to test the mean age of the agency's customers is over 24 . The appropriate hypotheses are H0: μ ⤠24, Ha: μ > 24 If he concludes the mean age is over 24 when it is not over 24, he makes a _error.

Answers

Using error concepts for hypothesis tests, it is found that there is a Type I error.

A Type I error happens when a true null hypothesis is rejected.

A Type II error happens when a false null hypothesis is not-rejected.

In this problem, the null hypothesis is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 24[/tex]

 

The alternative hypothesis is:

[tex]H_1: \mu > 24[/tex]

He concludes that the mean age is over 24 when it is not, that is, a true null hypothesis is rejected, hence there is a Type I error.

Given log_7⁡3≈0.5646 and log_7⁡16≈1.4248, evaluate the expressions. Please show work using given values.

Answers

Answer:

(a) [tex]\log_72 \approx 0.3562[/tex]

(b) [tex]\log_7(\frac{147}{16} ) = 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For the point a:

For this problem we use the information of [tex]\log_716 \approx 1.4248[/tex]

16 can be re-write as [tex]2^4[/tex]. Then you have:

[tex]\log_72^4[/tex]

Using the power property of the logarithm we have:

[tex]\log_ba^c = c\log_ba[/tex]

[tex]\log_72^4 = 4\log_72[/tex]

And this expression is equal to:

[tex]4\log_72 \approx 1.4248\\\log_72\approx \frac{1.4248}{4} \approx 0.3562\\[/tex]

For the point b:

For this problem we use the information of [tex]\log_716 \approx 1.4248[/tex] and [tex]\log_73 \approx 0.5646[/tex]

The first is use the quotient property in the given log.

[tex]\log_c\frac{a}{b} = \log_ca-\log_cb[/tex]

[tex]\log_7\frac{147}{16} = \log_7147 -\log_716[/tex]

We already know the value of [tex]\log_716[/tex] then we have to calculate the value of [tex]\log_7147[/tex].

So we factorize the number 147 in [tex]3 \cdot 7 \cdot 7[/tex] (for factorize the number start with the smaller prime and check if the remainder is 0, it is then is a primer factor of the number).

Now re-write [tex]\log_7147[/tex] as [tex]\log_73 \cdot 7^2[/tex] and by the product property get:

[tex]\log_bmn = \log_b m +\log_b n\\\log_73 \cdot 49 = \log_7 3 +\log_7 49 = 0.5646 + 2 = 2.5646[/tex]

Know replace each value in the subtraction and get the result:

[tex]\log_7147 -\log_716 = 2.5646 - 0.5646 = 2[/tex]

¿Qué fuerza media se requiere para que un objeto de 2 Kg aumente su velocidad de 5 m/s a 12 m/s en una distancia de 8 m?

Answers

Answer:

14.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Para conocer cual es la fuerza que necesita el cuerpo para aumentar su velocidad de 5 m/s a 12 m/s en 8 m

Necesitamos conocer la aceleración y para conocer la aceleración debemos saber cuanto tiempo tarda en recorrer los 8m

Vf = Vo +a(t)

12 = 5 +a(t) -------> Vamos a despejar el tiempo.

t = 7/a

X= Vo(t) +1/2a(t²)

X= 5(7/a)+1/2a( 7/a )²

8 = 35/a+49/2a

a = 7.43 m/s²  

Ahora que conocemos la aceleración podemos calcular la fuerza como:

F = m*a

F = 7.43 * 2 kg.

F = 14.87

If 11% of a number equals 4, find 66% of that number.

Answers

Answer:

363/20,000

.................................................................................

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be " x ".

11 % of x = 4

( 11 / 100 ) * x = 4

x = 4 * ( 100 / 11 )

x = 400 / 11

66 % of that number

= 66 % of x.

= 66 % of 400 / 11

= ( 66 / 100 ) x ( 400 / 11 )

= ( 66 x 400 ) / ( 100 x 11 )

= 6 x 4

Add 6 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

The (usual) first thing to do when solving any equation is to simplify both sides of the equation. However, since we have nothing to simplify, we move onto the next step that'll be the first step: isolating the variable, x. To do so, we must do the inverse of subtracting 6 (which is adding 6).
