Barnes and noble needs to ship 14 mystery books, 12 science-fiction books, and 8 historical-fiction books. The store can only pack one genre of book in each box, and they must pack the same number of books in each box. What is the greatest number of books Barnes and Noble can pack in each box?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  14 mystery books, 12 science-fiction books, and 8 historical-fiction books needs to b shipped.

If they want to pack one genre of book in each box such that they pack same number of books in each box.

Then, the greatest number of books Barnes and Noble can pack in each box

= GCD(14,12,8)

Since, 14 = 2 x 7

12 = 2 x 2 x 3

8 = 2 x 2 x 2

GCD(14,12,8)=2

Hence, the greatest number of books Barnes and Noble can pack in each box = 2

A circuit board manufacturer rejects a 100-ohm resistor if its measured resistance is 0.15 ohm or more away from 100 ohms. Resistors A and B are rejected. Resistor A's resistance differs from 100 ohms by +0.15 ohm. Resistor B's resistance differs from 100 ohms by -0.78 ohm. Which resistor has a resistance closer to 100 ohms?

Answers

Answer:

Resistor A has a resistance closer to 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know which of the two resistors have a resistance closer to 100 ohms

To know the resistance closer to 100, we need to know the absolute value of the resistances

-0.78 has a resistance of 100 - 0.78 = 99.22

The 15 ohms resistor has resistance of 100 + 0.15 = 100.15

Since 100.15 is closer to 100 than 99.22, due to the absolute value of both, then the +0.15 ohm resistor is closer to 100

Given the point (1, 2) and a slope of 4, write the equation in point slope form.

Answers

Answer:

y - 2 = 4(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use point slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope:

Plug in the slope and the given point:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 4(x - 1)

So, the equation in point slope form is y - 2 = 4(x - 1)

Ron Alotte and Dee Selerate ran a 20 km. Race. Dee made three 10 minute stops during the race to fix her shoes and rest and yet the two racers finished in a tie. If Ron ran the race at a constant speed of 8 km. Per hour, find Dee's average speed when running.

Answers

Answer:

10km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance covered by both Dee and Ron= 20km

Ron's speed = 8km/hr

Dee made three 10 minute stops during the race.

Time it took Ron to cover 20km

Time = distance / speed

20km / 8km/hr = 2.5 hours = 150 minutes

Since they both tied ;

Running time of Dee = (150 - (3*10)) = 120 minutes = 2 hours

Ron's speed = distance / time

Speed = 20 km / 2hours

Speed = 10km/hr

Audrey and Addy also went hiking up Mount Olympus. Audrey's distance in June was 2.95 miles and for July 2 5/8 miles. Addy went 2.85 miles in June and 3 3/8 miles in July. How much farther did Addy hike than Audrey in both June and July? *Answer will be in decimal form

Answers

Answer:

Addy hiked 0.65 miles more than Audrey.

Step-by-step explanation:

In June we have the following distance traveled by Audrey (Au) and Addy (Ad):

[tex] Au_{Jun} = 2.95 miles [/tex]

[tex] Ad_{Jun} = 2.85 miles [/tex]

And, in July we have:

[tex] Au_{Jul} = 2 + 5/8 miles = 21/8 miles = 2.625 miles [/tex]

[tex] Ad_{Jul} = 3 + 3/8 miles = 27/8 miles = 3.375 miles [/tex]

Hence in June and July, they traveled:

[tex] Au_{T} = Au_{Jun} + Au_{Jul} = 2.95 miles + 2.625 miles = 5.575 miles [/tex]

[tex] Ad_{T} = Ad_{Jun} + Ad_{Jul} = 2.85 miles + 3.375 miles = 6.225 miles [/tex]

Now, we can find how much farther did Addy hike than Audrey in both June and July:    

[tex] d = Ad_{T} - Au_{T} = 6.225 miles - 5.575 miles = 0.65 miles [/tex]

Therefore, Addy hiked 0.65 miles more than Audrey.

Solve the quadratic equation below by completing the square. What are the solutions?
x^2 - 16x + 50 = 21
A. X= -8+sqrt 7
B. X= 8 + sqrt 7
C. X= 8 +sqrt 35
D. X= -8+sqrt 35

Answers

By completing squares we will see that the solutions are:

[tex]x =\pm \sqrt{35} + 8[/tex]

How to complete squares?

Here we have the quadratic equation:

[tex]x^2 - 16x + 50 = 21[/tex]

We can rewrite it as:

[tex]x^2 - 2*8*x + 50 - 21 = 0\\\\x^2 - 2*8*x + 29= 0[/tex]

Then we must have a 8² term to complete squares, then we need to add and subtract 35.

[tex]x^2 - 2*8*x + 29 +35 - 35= 0\\\\(x - 8)^2 - 35 = 0\\\\(x - 8)^2 = 35[/tex]

Now we can solve this:

[tex]x =\pm \sqrt{35} + 8[/tex]

Sydney and Tom each count the number of steps it takes for them to walk to school. Sydney counts a 4-digit number of steps. The total of Sydney's steps and Tom's steps in also a 4-digit number of steps. What is the greatest possible digit in the thousands place for Sydney's steps or for Tom's steps? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information provided we can say that the largest number of steps for either Sydney or Tom would be 8999 making the digit in the thousands place an 8. This is because both Sydney and Tom counted 4 digits meaning the lowest number for either of them is 1000 steps. Since the question also states that the combination/total of both their steps is still a 4 digit number, this means that the total must not exceed 9,999 steps. Therefore if the minimum is 1000 the maximum can only be 8,999 before going into the 5 digit number of steps.

The ratio of adult cats to kittens at a pet care center on was 5:2 . There were 12 kittens there that day. Thursday ​, 38 adult cats were at the pet care center. What is the difference between the number of adult cats at the pet care center on thursday and monday?

Answers

Answer:

8 adult cats

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of adult cats to kitten at the pet care center was 5:2

No of adult cats= 5x

No of kitten cats= 2x

Since there were 12 kittens that day

2x= 12

x= 12/2

x= 6

Number of adult cats = 5x

= 5 × 6

= 30 adult cats

Therefore since there were 38 adult cats in the pet center in Thursday then the difference between the number of adult cats in Thursday and Monday can be calculated as follows

= 38-30

= 8 adult cats
