Pirate Jack has an equal number of gold and silver coins. If Pirate Jack splits all of his coins into 7 equal piles for his parr

ots, he has 4 coins left. Or, if he splits all of his coins into 11 equal piles for his shipmates, he has 4 coins left. Assuming every pile has at least 1 coin, what is the least possible number of coins Pirate Jack has?

Answer:

The least possible number of coins that Pirate Jack has is 77.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let the number of coins in the piles for the parrots be x.

ii) therefore we can say that the total number of coins be 7x + 4

iii) let the number of coins in the piles for for the pirates be y.

iv) therefore we can say that the total number of coins be 11y + 4

v) therefore we can say that 7x + 4 = 11y + 4

vi) therefore 7x = 11y

vii) therefore the least possible number of coins that Pirate Jack has is equal to the LCM of 11 and 7 which is 77.

viii) x = 11 and  y = 7

54 is the hypotenuse because it is the longest side. Square all of the sides. So 54^2=2916
51^2=2601
22^2=484
Now you have 2916=2601+484
Add the two and they will be greater than 2916. Because of that, you will have an acute triangle because 22^2+51^2>54^2
In short, its B

When restaurant makes full rotation 360^{0}, the length will be 2 \pi r=2 \pi *80=160\pi. But 240^{0} <span>is only \frac{2}{3} from the full rotation, so the bird will pass 160\pi * \frac{2}{3} =335 ft

In order to find the mean, you first count how many numbers are there. Then, you add all numbers together and divide them by the total of numbers. In this case, you would add (1+2+1+0+3+4+0+1+1+1+2+2+3+2+3+2+1+4+0+0+2+2+1+1+1), which equals to 40. The total of numbers is 25. You divide 40 by 25, and it would get you 1.6. Therefore, your mean is 1.6.

To calculate the median, you list the numbers from least to greatest, and find the middle number. The list for this survey would be 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4. The middle number of this list is 1, therefore, your median is 1.

The mode is simply the number that appears the most in this list. There are 4 zeroes, 9 ones, 7 twos, 3 threes, and 2 fours. The most in this list would be 1, because there are 9 of them. Your mode is 1.

Mean - 1.6
Median - 1
Mode - 1

Answer: A. 1.6, 1, 1
