Scrat the squirrel has a few nuts. When he put them in groups of 5 nuts, two nuts were left, and
when he laid them out in groups of 3 nuts, there were no nuts left. How many nuts among the
options provided below could belong to Scrat?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will solve this in a general way.

Let's suppose that there are N nuts

If we divide the N nuts into groups of 5, there will be a remainder of 2 nuts.

If we divide the N nuts into groups of 3, there is no remainder.

This means taht N is a multiple of 3. then we can write:

N = 3*k

where k is a random integer.

Now, we know that when we divide N by 5, there is a remainder of 2 nuts, this means that N is equal to a multiple of 5 plus 2, then we can write:

N = 5*j + 2

where j is a random integer.

Now we only need to find a pair of k and j (both positive integers) such that:

3*k = 5*j + 2

We can rewrite this as:

k = (5/3)*j + (2/3)

Now we could just input different values of j, and see if k is also an integer:

j = 2

k = (5/3)*2 + 2/3 = 10/3 + 2/3 = 12/3 = 4

Then the pair j = 2, k = 4 is a possible solution.

N = 3*k = 3*4 = 12

N = 5*j + 2 = 5*2 + 2 = 12

From this we can conclude that N = 12, so Scrat has 12 nuts.

Now with the equation

k = (5/3)*j + (2/3)

We can find other possible combinations of j and k, that will give different values for N.

for example, if j = 5:

k = (5/3)*5 + 2/3 = 25/3 + 2/3 = 27/3 = 9

Then the pair j = 5, k = 9 is also a possible solution:

N = 3*k = 3*9 =  27

N = 5*j + 2 = 5*5 + 2 = 27

In this case, Scrat has 27 nuts.

What is the probability that a customer ordered a cold drink given that he or she ordered a large?

Answers

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a customer ordered a cold drink given that he or she ordered a large is 32%.

What is probability?

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words, the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.

P(Small | Cold) = n(Small and Cold)/n(Cold)

From the table:

P(Small | Cold) = 8/(8 + 12 + 5)

P(Small | Cold) = 0.32

or

P(Small | Cold) = 32%

Thus, the probability that a customer ordered a cold drink given that he or she ordered a large is 32%.

If Aaron tunes into his favorite radio station at a randomly selected time, there is a 0.20 probability that a commercial will be playing.

b. If Aaron tunes into this station at 5 randomly selected times, will there be exactly one time when a commercial is playing?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, there will be with a probability of 0.4096

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

p = 0.2

1 - p = 0.8

Number of trials, n = 5

P(x = 1)

Using the binomial probability formula :

P(x =x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)

P(x = 1) = 5C1 * 0.2^1 * 0.8^4

P(x = 1) = 5 * 0.2^1 * 0.8^4

P(x = 1) = 0.4096

Yes, there will be with a probability of 0.4096

Answer:

No. If Aaron tunes into this station at 5 randomly selected times, there will not necessarily be exactly one time when a commercial is playing.

Jiyoung spent $82 at Uniqlo on shirts and shorts. She lost the receipt but knows that the shirts are
$11 each, and the shorts were $9 each. If Jiyoung bought 5 shirts, how many shorts did she buy?

Answers

its 3 shorts

Step-by-step explanation:

11×5= 55 82-55= 27 27÷9= 3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this information, we can set up an equation

[tex]11x + 9y = 82[/tex], where x is the amount of shirts bought, and y is the amount of shorts bought. Since we know she bough 5 shirts, we can replace x with 5

[tex]11 (5) + 9y = 82[/tex]   Now, we have to find for y.

Step 1. Simplify

[tex]55+9y=82[/tex]

Step 2. Subtract 55 from both sides

[tex]55-55+9y=82-55\\9y=27[/tex]

Step 3. Divide both sides by 9

[tex]\frac{9y}{9}=\frac{27}{9}\\y=3[/tex]

If y = 3, this means that Jiyoung bought 3 shorts.

A frog jumps 9 3/5 feet in the span of 2 2/3 seconds. Express as a complex fraction and then find the unit rate, in feet per second, that the frog is moving at. Express any improper fractions as mixed numbers.

Answers

Answer:

3 3/5 feet per seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If a frog jumps 9 3/5 feet in the span of 2 2/3 second, we want to calculate the number of feet it can jump in one seconds.

Since it jumps 9 3/5 feet in the span of 2 2/3 second, we can express this as:

9 3/5 feet  = 2 seconds ... 1

The number of feet per seconds will be expressed as:

x = 1secs.... 2

Divide equation 1 by 2 as shown:

9 3/5 ÷ x = 2 2/3 ÷ 1

48/5x = 8/3

Cross multiply

5x * 8 = 48 * 3

40x = 144

10x = 36

5x = 18

x = 18/5

Express as a mixed fraction:

18/5 = 3 3/5ft/secs

Hence the frog is moving at 3 3/5 feet per seconds

Which set of ordered pairs represents a function?
{(-3,1), (8, -2), (0,0), (8,6)}
{(-1,-8),(-8, –3), (-8,-7), (4,1)}
{(-3,-8),(-3,-7), (2,-7), (6,-4)}
{(1,-1),(-3,-8), (8, -1),(0,5)}

Find the unknown angle measure by solving for the given variable.

Supplementary angles​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

∠PSQ = 13x+7

∠QSR = 42x+8

We need to find the measure of angles.

We can use the property of linear pair. ATQ,

13x+7 + 42x+8 = 180 (Linear pair)

Taking like terms,

13x+42x = 180 - 7-8

55x = 165

x = 3

So,

∠PSQ = 13x+7 = 13(3) + 7 = 46°

∠QSR = 42x+8 = 42(3) + 8 = 134°

Hence, this is the required solution.
