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.

6. Steve is packing sacks for treats at a party. Every sack is exactly the same. Steve has 42 candy bars and 126 lollipops. a. What is the greatest number of treat sacks Steve can make? b. How many of each kind of treat is in one sack?

Answers

Answer:

Greatest sack = 42

1 candy bar and 3 lollipops

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Candy bars with C and Lollipops with L

[tex]C = 42[/tex]

[tex]L= 126[/tex]

Solving (a): Greatest number of treat sacks

To solve this, we simply calculate the GCF of C and L

[tex]42 = 2^1 * 3^1 * 7^1[/tex]

[tex]126 = 2^1 * 3^2 * 7^1[/tex]

Hence, the GCF is

[tex]GCF = 2^1 * 3^1 * 7^1[/tex]

[tex]GCF = 42[/tex]

Hence, greatest number of sack is 42

Solving (b): Number of treat in each sack.

To do this, we simply divide the number of C and L by the calculated GCF

For C:

[tex]Treats = \frac{C}{GCF}[/tex]

[tex]Treats = \frac{42}{42}[/tex]

[tex]Treats = 1[/tex]

For L:

[tex]Treats = \frac{L}{GCF}[/tex]

[tex]Treats = \frac{126}{42}[/tex]

[tex]Treats = 3[/tex]

Hence, 1 candy bar and 3 lollipops

B) II only

Answers

Answer:

The final answer is D) I and II only

Step-by-step explanation:

Think bout what the formula is

y=mx+b

in this case

the slope of the graph is  

5/ 9 , which means that for an increase of 1.

C= 5 /9 (F)

C=

5 /9  (1)= 5 /9

Therefore, statement I is true. This is the equivalent to saying that an increase of 1 degree Celsius is equal to an increase of  

9 /5  degrees Fahrenheit.

Statement II is also true since only answer that has both statement I and statement II as true is D, is not true since 25/81 not 1 degree.

Sugar and flour are mixed in the ratio 3.5 in a sweet recipe in another recipe 15 parts of flour are used if these two ingredeints on both recipes are in both recipes are an equivalent ratio

Answers

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the completed question.

Sugar and flour are mixed in the ratio 3:5 in a sweet recipe. In another recipe, 15 parts of flour are used. If these two ingredients in both recipes are in an equivalent ratio, how many parts of sugar should be used?

Ratio of sugar and flour = 3:5

Since 15 parts of flour are used, the parts of sugar that should be used will be:

= 15 ÷ 5/3

= 15 × 3/5

= 3 × 3

= 9

The capacity of a small children’s swimming pool is 106 gallons of water. There are currently 15 gallons of water in the pool. You are filling the pool at a rate of 2 gallons per minute.
1. Write an equation that gives the amount y (in gallons) of water in the pool as a function of the number x minutes from now.
2. After how many minutes will the pool be full?

Answers

Answer:

1. y=2x+15

2. 45.5 min

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You find 2x by looking at the give rate of gallons (2) a min (x). This information is given in the word problem. This gives the equation of y=2x. But you already have 15 gallons in the pool, so you need to add the +15 at the end of the equation giving you y=2x+15.

2. Y is the total gallons. This is 106 gallons (given in the word problem). We are trying to solve for x (# of minutes to fill the pool). 106=2x+15. subtract 15 from both sides giving 91=2x. Divide both sides by 2 giving x=45.5. It will take 45.5 minutes to fill up the pool.

Rectangle

Answer:

Square

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the flvs test, and I actually looked on course hero (a trusted site) and found it was square, then worked the problem out and found out it was actually a square.

Quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. The specified quadrilateral falls in the category shown by: Option

What is a quadrilateral?

Any closed figure made by 4 line segments joined end to end in series is called a quadrilateral.

What is a parallelogram?

That quadrilateral in which opposite sides are parallel is called a parallelogram.

Thus, a parallelogram is always a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral can or cannot be a parallelogram.

What is a rectangle?

That parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle.

A rectangle is always a parallelogram and a quadrilateral but reverse statement may or may not be true.

What is a rhombus?

Its a parallelogram but all sides of same length.  Its diagonals are perpendicular bisector of each other, but might not be equal.

What is a square?

That rectangle whose all sides are equal is called a square.

A square has its diagonals perpendicular bisector of each other and are of same length. (this is actually a characteristic property, which means that if a quadrilateral has its diagonals equal and perpendicular, then it is a square for sure).

A square is always a rectangle, parallelogram, a rhombus and a quadrilateral but its reverse statement may or may not be true.(ie it is not always necessary that a rectangle is a square or a parallelogram is a square or a rhombus is a square).

What is the distance between two points ( p,q) and (x,y)?

The shortest distance(straight line segment's length connecting both given points) between points ( p,q) and (x,y) is:

[tex]D = \sqrt{(x-p)^2 + (y-q)^2 }[/tex](in units)

How to find if two lines are perpendicular to each other?

If two lines are perpendicular to each other, then their slopes are negative reciprocal of each other. That means, if one line's slope is 'a', then its perpendicular line's slope would be -1/a

For the given case, the coordinates of  the vertices of the quadrilateral are: A(2, 6), B(5, 1), C(10, 4), and D(7, 9)

The diagonals are AC and BD.

Slope of AC = [tex]m_{AC} = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \dfrac{4-6}{10-2} = -1/4[/tex]

Slope of BD = [tex]m_{BD} = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \dfrac{9-1}{7-5} = 4[/tex]

It is visible that AC and BD's slope are negative reciprocal of each other. Thus, they are perpendicular to each other. Thus, the quadrilateral is either a square or Rhombus

Now, finding lengths of the diagonals:

[tex]|AC| = \sqrt{(4-6)^2 + (10-2)^2 } = \sqrt{4 + 64} = \sqrt{68}[/tex]

[tex]|BD| = \sqrt{(7-5)^2 + (9-1)^2 } = \sqrt{4 + 64} = \sqrt{68}[/tex]

Thus, their lengths are also same,

This is why, the considered quadrilateral is a square.
