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

A has the coordinates (–4, 3) and B has the coordinates (4, 4). If DO,1/2(x, y) is a dilation of △ABC, what is true about the im
loris [4]

Answer:

Coordinates of Vertices of triangle ABC are A (-4,3) , B(4,4) and C(1,1).

As, DO is Dilation of Δ ABC by Scale factor of \frac{1}{2}.

Vertices of A' B'C' are

A'=(\frac{-4}{2},\frac{3}{2})=(-2,\frac{3}{2}), B'=(\frac{4}{2},\frac{4}{2})=(2,2), C'=(\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2})

So, Image Δ A'B'C' will be smaller than the Pre image Δ ABC.

The two triangles will be congruent.

AO is Dilated by a factor of half , so A'O' will be half of AO.

So, correct Statements are

1. AB is parallel to A'B'.

2.DO,1/2(x, y) =  

The distance from A' to the origin is half the distance from A to the origin.

OA=\sqrt{(-4)^2+3^2}=\sqrt{25}=5\\\\ O'A'=\sqrt{2^2+(\frac{3}{2})^2}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5

In ΔDEF, d = 92 cm, e = 42 cm and ∠F=141°. Find the length of f, to the nearest centimeter.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

f=127 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Cosine:

x squared=92 squared+42 squared-2(92)(42)(cos 141)

x squared =8464+1764-7728(cos 141)

x=127 cm

A middle school chess club has 5 members: Adam, Bradley, Carol, Dave, and Ella. Two students from the club will be selected at r
laila [671]

Answer:

Probability that Adam and Ella will be selected:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{10}=0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Probabilities

The probability of a random event E to occur is a real number between 0 and 1, both inclusive, where 0 indicates an impossible event and 1 a sure event. There are many techniques to compute probabilities depending on the particular situation and distribution.

This question will be solved by simple calculations and logic, given its simplicity. We know the middle school chess club has 5 members: Adam, Bradley, Carol, Dave, and Ella. Two of them are going to be selected at random to participate in the county chess tournament. We can calculate the number of different ways it can be done without any restriction. It's called the sample space.

The sample space of this event is the combination of 5 members regardless of their position. If {a,b,c,d,e} are the five members, then the possible combinations are {ab,ac,ad,ae,bc,bd,be,cd,ce,de}. Notice that there are only 10 possibilities because the combination ab is the same as ba since it's the same team for the tournament.

We can see there is only one combination of two specific letters out of 10. If a=Adam and e=Ella, only one combination is ae, the other 9 don't include both members, so the probability is

\displaystyle P(ae)=\frac{1}{10}=0.1

Daniel Potter bought a new car for $20,000.00. Two years later, he wanted to sell it. He was offered $14,650.00 for it. If he so
olga_2 [115]
Answer: 13.375% per year

Explanation:

1) Depreciation is the loss of value: $ 20,000.00 - $ 14,650.00 = $ 5,350

2) The percent of depreciation is amount of the depreciation divided by the value of the car when purchased, times 100.

That is (5,350 / $ 20,000) * 100 = 26.75 %

2) The rate is percent of depreciation per year:

depreciation rate = % of depreciation / number of years = 26.75%  / 2 = 13.375% per year.
