Answer:

I think you didn't complete asking your question- what were the given options?

Whatever options you were given, try dividing each by three. If you get a decimal after dividing, then that option is wrong.

An example of a right answer is 24:

24- 24/3= 8.

8 x 2= 16 girls

24-16 = 8 boys

Hope this helps :)

24 can not be the total number of students in Mr. Castillo's class.

I'm assuming that your answer options are 20, 24, 25, and 30.

out of this set of numbers, 24 can not be divided by 5 (without getting a decimal)

Answer:

$12159 per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I invest $x each year at the simple interest of 7.5%, then the first $x will grow for 35 years, the second $x will grow for 34 years and so on.

So, the total amount that will grow after 35 years by investing $x at the start of each year at the rate of 7.5% simple interest will be given by

$x( 1 + \frac{35 \times 7.5}{100}) + x( 1 + \frac{34 \times 7.5}{100}) + x( 1 + \frac{33 \times 7.5}{100}) + ......... + x( 1 + \frac{1 \times 7.5}{100})$

= $35x + \frac{x \times 7.5}{100} [35 + 34 + 33 + ......... + 1]$

= $35x + \frac{x \times 7.5}{100} [\frac{1}{2} (35) (35 + 1)]$

{Since sum of n natural numbers is given by $\frac{1}{2} (n)(n + 1)$ }

= 35x + 47.25x

= 82.25x

Now, given that the final amount will be i million dollars = $1000000

So, 82.25x = 1000000

⇒ x = $12,158. 05 ≈ $12159

Therefore. I have to invest $12159 per year. (Answer)

Eliza started her savings account with $100. Each month she deposits $25 into her account. Determine the average rate of change

Afina-wow [57]

First, lets create a equation for our situation. Let $x$ be the months. We know four our problem that Eliza started her savings account with $100, and each month she deposits $25 into her account. We can use that information to create a model as follows:
 $f(x)=25x+100$

We want to find the average value of that function from the 2nd month to the 10th month, so its average value in the interval [2,10]. Remember that the formula for finding the average of a function over an interval is: $\frac{f(x_{2})-f(x_{1})}{x_{2}-x_{1} }$ . So lets replace the values in our formula to find the average of our function:
$\frac{25(10)+100-[25(2)+100]}{10-2}$
$\frac{350-150}{8}$
$\frac{200}{8}$
$25$

We can conclude that the average rate of change in Eliza's account from the 2nd month to the 10th month is $25.

Two cross sections of a right hexagonal pyramid are obtained by cutting the pyramid with planes parallel to the hexagonal base.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The larger cross section is 24 meters away from the apex.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross section of a right hexagonal pyramid is a hexagon; therefore, let us first get some things clear about a hexagon.

The length of the side of the hexagon is equal to the radius of the circle that inscribes it.

The area is

$A=\frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} r^2$

Where $r$ is the radius of the inscribing circle (or the length of side of the hexagon).

Now we are given the areas of the two cross sections of the right hexagonal pyramid: $A_1=216\:ft^2\: \:\:\:A_2=486\:ft^2$

From these areas we find the radius of the hexagons:

$r_1=\sqrt{\frac{2A_1}{3\sqrt{3} } } =\sqrt{\frac{2*216}{3\sqrt{3} } }=\boxed{9.12ft}$

$r_2=\sqrt{\frac{2A_2}{3\sqrt{3} } } =\sqrt{\frac{2*486}{3\sqrt{3} } }=\boxed{13.68ft}$

Now when we look at the right hexagonal pyramid from the sides ( as shown in the figure attached ), we see that $r_1$ $r_2$ form similar triangles with length $H$

Therefore we have:

$\frac{H-8}{r_1} =\frac{H}{r_2}$

We put in the numerical values of $r_1$ , $r_2$ and solve for $H$ :

$\boxed{H=\frac{8r_2}{r_2-r_1} =\frac{8*13.677}{13.68-9.12} =24\:feet.}$

Monica has a bag of marbles. There are 4 red marbles and 7 blue marbles and 5 yellow marbles in a bag. Monica will randomly pick

natima [27]

Answer:

$\frac{7}{64}\approx 0.11$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that there are 4 red marbles and 7 blue marbles and 5 yellow marbles in a bag. Monica will randomly pick two marbles out of the bag replacing the first marble before picking the second marble.

Since Monica will replace the first marble before picking the second marble, therefore, probability of both events will be independent and probability of occurring one event will not affect the probability of second event's occurring.

Since the probability of two independent compound events is always the product of probabilities of both events.

$P(\text{A and B})=P(A)*P(B)$
