Three friends, Cleopatra, Dalila and Ebony go shopping.
The money they each have is in the ratio
Cleopatra : Dalila : Ebony = 5:7:8.
Cleopatra has $17.
(a) How many dollars do they have in total?
(b) Dalila spends $12 on a hat.
How many dollars does she have left?
(CIE Paper 1, Nov 2005)​

Answers

Answer 1
Solution (a) :

Total number of parts = 5 + 7 + 8 = 20

Let the sum of the money with them be = x

Cleopatra has =

= 5/20 of x = $17

= 5/20x = 17

= 1/4x = 17

= 1x = 17 × 4 ( transposing ÷4 from LHS to RHS changes ÷4 to ×4 )

= x = 68

Therefore , they have $68 in total .

Solution (b) :

Total number of parts = 5 + 7 + 8 = 20

Parts with Dalila = 7/20

Money with Dalila =

= 7/20 of 68

= 7/20 × 68/1

= 476/20

= 23.8

Dalila has $23.8 with her .

Money she spends on a hat = $12

Money left with her =

= 23.8 - 12

= 11.8

Therefore , Dalila has $11.8 left with her , after she buys a hat .

Solution to the problems in the comment box :-

Solution (1) :

Ratio of cement to sand to aggregate to water = 2:5:8:1

Total parts = 2 + 5 + 8 + 1 = 16 parts

Number of parts for aggregate = 8/16

Then the aggregate needed by Bobbie =

= 8/16 × 1.2

= 1/2 × 1.2

= 1.2 as a fraction will be 6/5

= 1/2 × 6/5

= 6/10

6/10 as a decimal = 0.6

Therefore , Bobbie needs 0.6 cube of meter .

Solution (a) :

Cement : sand : aggregate : water = 2:5:8:1

Total parts = 16

Number of parts for cement = 5/16

Let the quantity of concrete be = x

Then ,

Cement =

= 5/16 of x

= 5/16x = 0.25 meter cube

= x = 0.25 × 16/5

= x = 25/100 × 16/5

= x = 1/4 × 16/5

= x = 16/20

= x = 4/5

4/5 as decimal = 80/100 = 0.08

Cement needed by Eddie = 0.08 cubic meter .

Quantity of water Eddie will need =

= 1/16 × 0.08

= 1/16 × 80/100

= 1/16 × 8/10

= 8/60

= 0.13

Water needed by Eddie = 0.13 cubic meter .

Quantity of aggregate needed by Eddie =

= 8/16 × 80/100

= 1/2 × 8/10

= 8/20

= 40/100

= 0.04

Aggregate needed by Eddie = 0.04 cubic meter .

Quantity of sand Eddie will need =

= 5/16 × 80/100

= 5/16 × 8/10

= 40/160

= 0.25

Quantity of sand needed by Eddie = 0.25 cubic meter .

Therefore , Eddie will need 0.25 cubic meter of sand , 0.04 cubic meter of aggregate ,0.13 cubic meter of water along with 0.25 cubic meter of cement to make concrete .

Solution (b) :

When water and aggregate has been added the quantity of concrete =

= 0.13 + 0.04

= 0.07

Therefore , when water and aggregate has been added the quantity of concrete will be 0.07 cubic meter .

An average swimming pool contains 19200 gallons of water. The pool needs drained at the end of the summer. Water drains from the pool at the rate of 12 gallons per minute. Which equation can be used to find the volume, V, of the water in the pool m minutes after draining begins?

Answers

Answer:

V = 19200 - 12m

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool contains 19200 gallons of water.

Now we are told that water drains from the pool at the rate of 12 gallons per minutes.

Now, we want to find the volume, V, of the water in the pool, "m" minutes after draining begins.

Since water drains at 12 gallons per minutes, it means that after "m" minutes, the total amount that would have been drained is 12m gallons.

Thus, total volume V left after m minutes can be expressed as;

V = 19200 - 12m

Answers

Answer:

66⁰ + x = 111⁰

x = 111⁰ - 66⁰

x = 45⁰

Answer:

First, I am taking the interior angle E as 'y' to be able to use the angle sum property to find 'x'.

So we can find 'y' by using 'linear pair'.

So Exterior angle 'E'+y=180 Degree.

=  111+y=180

By transposing: y=180-11

And y= 69 degrees.

And now have angles y & 'Angle G' we can use Angle sum property to find 'x'

ACCORDING TO ANFLE SUM PROPERTY OF TRIANGLE: "THE SUM OF ALL THE ANGLES OF A TRIANGLE IS 180 DEGREE"

THEREFOR, y+x+angle G=180 degrees.

=  69 degrees+66 degrees+x=180 degrees

=  135 degrees+x=180 degrees

by transposing,

x= 180 degrees-135 degrees

And, x= 45 degrees

ANOTHER METHOD:

BY USING EXTERIOR ANGLE PROPERTY.

ACCORDING TO EXTERIOR ANGLE PROPERTY OF TRIANGLE: "An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles"

So, Exterior Angle E= x+ Angle G

=  111 degrees= x+ 66 degrees

By transposing, x= 111 degrees-66 degrees

=  x=45 degrees.

So no matter whichever method is used, the value of x= 45 degrees.

What is Function?

In mathematics, a function is represented as a rule that produces a distinct result for each input x. In mathematics, a function is indicated by a mapping or transformation. Typically, these functions are identified by letters like f, g, and h. The collection of all the values that the function may input while it is defined is known as the domain. The entire set of values that the function's output can produce is referred to as the range. The set of values that could be a function's outputs is known as the co-domain.

Given:

f(x) = 3x² -7/ 4x² - 3

Now, find the value of the function at x= 2

So, f(2)= 3(2)² -7/ 4(2)² - 3

f(2) = 3 x 4 -7 / 4 x 8  - 3

f(2) = 5/29

Hence, the value of f(2) is 5/29.

Answer:

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 2y+6 and 8y-102 are vertical angles to each other. This means that 2y+6=8y-102. [tex]6y=108[/tex], which means that y=18. [tex]2\cdot(18)+6=36+6=42[/tex]. Since one line is a straight angle, it is 180 degrees we can do [tex]3x=180-45=135[/tex], so x=45.

Answer:

y = 18

x = 46

measures of the angles:

8y - 102 = 42

2y + 6 = 42

3x = 138

Step-by-step explanation:

So first remember the verticle angles theorem, which states that, when two lines intersect there will be four angles formed; the angles that are opposite from each other will be congruent, that is,  they will have the same measure.

Using this we know that opposite angles have to be congruent:

so

(2y + 6) = (8y -102)

now there is an algebra equation that can be solved by inverse operations and simplifying

2y + 6 = 8y - 102

    +102      +102

2y + 108 = 8y

-2y             -2y

108 = 6y

/6        /6

18 = y

Also, remember that two adjacent angles that form a line will add up to 180,

so

3x + (2y + 6) = 180

*note: I could have also used (8y - 102) but I choose to use (2y + 6)

so now substitute in the value of y that was found

y = 18

3x + (2 * 18 + 6) = 180

simplify

3x + ( 36 + 6) = 180

3x + 42 = 180

now use inverse operations

3x + 42 = 180

     -42     -42

3x = 138

/3      /3

x = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = -16x² + 64x represents the given parabola that represents the height in feet of an object above the ground T seconds after it was launched from the ground.

What is function?

A function is a relation between a dependent and independent variable. We can write the examples of functions as -

y = f(x) = ax + b

y = f(x, y, z) = ax + by + cz

Given is a graph that shows the height in feet of an object above the ground {T} seconds after it was launched from the ground.

The given graph is a parabola. A quadratic equation represents a parabola.

The quadratic equation will have two roots at the point on which it cuts the {x} axis.

Consider the equation in option {C} as -

y = -16x² + 64x

For the point (4, 0), we can check the graph as -

0 = - 16 x 4 x 4 + 64 x 4

0 = 0

For the point (0, 0), we can check -

0 = 0 + 64 x 0

0 = 0

Therefore, the equation y = -16x² + 64x represents the given parabola that represents the height in feet of an object above the ground T seconds after it was launched from the ground.

Lerna's Hydra is a mythological character that appears in some stories such as the 12 Tasks of Hercules. The Hydra was a one-headed monster but when it is cut off, 2 more heads grow in its place. If a hero tried to conquer it by cutting off all of its heads every day, how many heads would the Hydra have on the third day? And at the end of 10 days of trying to kill it? *

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially the monster is one-headed, when it is cut off, 2 more heads grow in its place, when the two heads are cut off, 4 will grow in its place. This will go on an on and the amount of heads that grows each day will form a geometric sequance as shown;

1, 2, 4...

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expresses as;

[tex]T_n = ar^{n-1}[/tex] where;

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

To get the number of heads that the Hydra have on the third day, we will have to find the fourth term of the sequence since the first cutting was done the next day (second day).

from the sequence above;

a = 1

r = 2/1 = 4/2 = 2

T4 = 1(2)^{4-1}

T4 = 2^3

T4 = 8

Hence the hydra will have 8 heads on the third day.

To know the number of heads at the end of 10 days, we will find the 11th term of the progression

T11 = 1(2)^{11-1}

T4 = 2^10

T4 = 1024

He will have 1024 heads after 10 days of trying to kill the monster.

The number of heads that would the Hydra have on the third day is 8

And, at the end of 10 days of trying to kill it is 1024.

The calculation is as follows:

a = 1

r = 2 by 1 = 2  

T4

= 8

So the hydra will have 8 heads on the third day.

Now  

To know the number of heads at the end of 10 days, we will determine the 11th term of the progression

= 1024
