MM can someone answer this riddle


Animal riddle
In reply to an inquiry about the animals on his farm, the farmer says: “I only ever keep sheep, goats, and horses. In fact, at the moment they are all sheep bar three, all goats bar four, and all horses bar five.” How many does he have of each animal?

Answers

Answer 1

Here’s the answer & how to find it! So let us suppose,

X : the no. of sheep he owns

Y : the no. of goats he owns

Z : the no. of horses he owns

This means,

X + Y + Z = Total no. of animals he owns

He says that “They are all sheep bar three.” Which means, the no. of animals other than sheep is 3, i.e.

Y + Z = 3

Similarly,

X + Z = 4 and X + Y = 5

On adding all the three equations, we get

2 ( X + Y + Z ) = 12

This implies,

X + Y + Z = 6

This means that the farmers has a total of 6 animals. And on further solving the equations we find that the he has 3 sheep, 2 goats and a horse.

What is 3/4 dived by 1/2

Answers

the answer to your question is 1.5

Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Since we are dividing by a fraction, we switch [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] to it's reciprocal.

Doing that would make it [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex]. In other words, that is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x [tex]2[/tex].

We can use cross multiplying to simplify/solve for it.

(Look at the image to see the cross multiplying).

Therefore, the answer is [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex].

(x-5)(x-9) is the factored form of the expression  x²-14x+45

The given expression is x²-14x+45

x is the variable in the expression

x square minus forteen times of x plus forty five

Plus and minus are operators in  the expression

x²-9x-5x+45

Now let factor out the expression

A thief steals an ATM card and must randomly guess the correct three-digit pin code from a 7-key keypad. Repetition of digits is allowed. What is the probability of a correct guess on the first try? The number of possible code is__?? (Type an integer or fraction. Simplify your answer) The probability that the correct code is given in the first try is __?? (Type an integer or fraction. Simplify your answer.)

Answers

Answer:

1/343

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Required pass code = 3 digit long

Digit or keypad option / length = 7

What is the probability of a correct guess on the first try? To obtain this,

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

The required outcome = correct guess; which is a single combination of the right digits = 1

Total possible outcomes = number of available combinations or the number of possible codes = (7^3) = 343

Hence,

P(right guess on first try) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

= 1/343


Reorder the steps to construct Angle JOB, a copy of Angle A.

__ Construct oj
__ Place your compass point at the vertex of Angle A. Create an arc that intersects both rays of Angle A.
__ On Angle A, set your compass point on the intersection of the arc and ray and the pencil on the other intersection of the arc and second ray. Lock your compass.
__ Place the point of the compass on the intersection of the arc on OB. Mark an arc through the large arc created in a previous step. Label the point of intersection of the two arcs point J.
__ Draw a ray that will become one of the two rays of the new angle. Label the ray OB.
__ Without changing your compass setting, create an arc from point O that intersects OB. Be sure to make a large arc.

Answers

Answer:

The right order is given as follows;

_Draw a ray that will become one of the two rays of the new angle, label OB

_Place your compass point at the vertex of Angle A. Create an arc that intersects both rays of Angle A

_On Angle A, set the compass point on the intersection of the arc and ray and the pencil on the other intersection of the arc and second ray. Lock your compass

_Without changing your compass setting, create an arc from point O that intersects OB. Be sure to make a large arc.

_Place the point of the compass on the intersection of the arc on OB. Mark an arc arc through the large arc created in a previous step. Label the point of intersection of the two arcs point J.

_Construct OJ

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The first step is to draw a line in the location where the angle to be copied is to be constructed

2) The distance of two points on the rays forming the angle to be copied from the vertex are found by drawing an arc from the vertex and setting the compass opening width to the distances between the intersection of the arc and the rays

3) With the set compass width from the step above, an arc is drawn which intersects the constructed first new ray. The arc is made to extend to a large angle to accommodate large angle sizes

4) From the point of intersection of the arc on the new line, another arc is drawn to intersect the previous arc located on the new line construction

5) Join the point intersection of the two arcs on the new construction to the start point of the constructed first new line (the point from which the first arc was constructed to complete the construction of a copy of the angle.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you start with the bottom (denominator). You turn it into 100 since all percentages are over 100. So 25 times 4 is 100. Therefore, you also have to multiply the top with a 4, getting an 88 over 100. That is equal to 88%.

Answers

The domain is all x-values of coordinate pairs.
But, if you need a reasonable domain for a graph, it should be all integers (whole numbers) greater than or equal to zero.
This is because you can’t have 1/2 of a person or 1/2 of an engine. You also can’t have any negative engines either. Therefore, the domain would need to be whole numbers greater than (or equal to 0).

Answers

Answer:

x = 24                            x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:
