Tim was given a large bag of sweets and ate one third of the sweets before stopping as he was feeling sick. The next day he ate

mars1129 [50]

Answer: In the beginning he was given 27 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation: The most logical thing to do is to solve it backwards, that is, from what he had at the end of the third day up till the beginning of the first day.

On the third day he ate one-third and had 8 sweets left over. To determine how many he started with on the third day, let the total on day three be called a. If one-third of a is eaten, then the left over which is two-thirds is 8. That is;

8/a = 2/3

By cross multiplication we now have

8 x 3 = 2a

24/2 = a

a = 12

Let the number of sweets he had on day two be called b. If he ate one-third of b and he had 12 left over, then the two-thirds left over is 12 and we now have;

12/b = 2/3

By cross multiplication we now have

12 x 3 = 2b

36 = 2b

36/2 = b

b = 18

Let the number of sweets he had on day one be called x. If he ate one-third of x and he had 18 left over, then the two-thirds left over is 18, and we now have;

18/x = 2/3

By cross multiplication we now have

18 x 3 = 2x

54 = 2x

x = 27

Therefore Tim was given 27 sweets at the beginning.

A special 8-sided die is marked with the numbers 1 to 8. It is rolled 20 times with these outcomes:

horsena [70]

Answer:

One: B

Two: 60% and 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem One

There are only two numbers in the sample of 40 that are under 26. Both are 25. If you find more, make the adjustment. There are 2 more that are exactly 26 but they are not counted because the directions say "less than 26."

So set up your proportion

x/2000 = 2/40 Multiply both sides by 2000

x = 2/40 * 2000

x = 4000/40

x = 100

A

I don't know where 5 comes from. But it is not correct.

B

B should be the correct answer.

C

Exactly 100 pieces should be defective. That is the theoretical result. C is incorrect.

D

D is not correct. The sample size would not be 40. It would have to be 2000 for D to be correct. So D is wrong.

E

We have enough data to get an answer. E is incorrect.

Problem 2

The think you must NOT do is count 1 as being prime. The prime numbers are 2 3 5 7 between 1 and 8. They break down as follows.

Prime Number of them
2 3
3 4
5 2
7 3

The total number of primes = 12

There are 20 numbers in the sample

The experimental probability of tossing a prime is 12/20 * 100% = 60%

The non primes are 2 3 5 7 which is 4 out of 8

4/8 * 100 = 50%

The experimental value is 10% more than the theoretical value.

Discussion

Note: the problem may be one. This all depends on what you have been told about 1. I am using the exact wording of prime here. 1 is not a prime. It is also not a composite. So it has to be counted as part of the non primes.

In the diagram of circle A, what is the measure of ∠XYZ?<br><br> 35°<br> 70°<br> 75°<br> 140°

Mademuasel [1]

Answer: First Option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Measure of arc WZ = 175°

Measure of ∠XAZ = 105°

We need to find the measure of ∠XYZ.

As we know the angle subtended at the center is the average of the measure of arc intercepted by it angle and its vertical angles.

$\frac{175^\circ+\angle XYZ}{2}=105^\circ\\\\175^\circ+\angle XYZ=210^\circ\\\\\angle XYZ=210^\circ-175^\circ\\\\\angle XYZ=35^\circ$

Hence, the value of ∠XYZ is 35°.

Hence, First Option is correct.

sweet [91]

Answer:

999 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture attached, the drawn of the situation is shown

<u>Data</u>

∠x = 56°

∠y = 81°

distance from balloon A to the ground is 1,200 feet

From definition:

tan(∠x) = opposite/adjacent

tan(56°) = 1200/adjacent

adjacent to ∠x = 1200/tan(56°)

adjacent to ∠x = 809.41 ft

tan(∠y) = opposite/adjacent

tan(81°) = 1200/adjacent

adjacent to ∠y = 1200/tan(81°)

adjacent to ∠y = 190.06 ft

The distance from balloon A to balloon B is: 809.41 + 190.06 = 999.47 ≈ 999 ft
