There are different definitions of "whole numbers".

Some define it as an integer (i.e. positive or negative) [some dictionaries]

Some define it as a non-negative integer. [most math definitions]

We will take the math definition, i.e. 0<= whole number < ∞

To find pairs (i.e. two) whole numbers with a sum of 110, we start with

0+110=110

1+109=110

2+108=110

...

54+56=110

55+55=110

Since the next one, 56+54=110 is the same pair (54,56) as 54+56=110, we stop at 55+55=110 for a total of 56 pairs.

Melissa has three different positive integers. She adds their reciprocals together and gets a sum of $1$. What is the product of

Whitepunk [10]

If the three integers are $a,b,c$ , then we have

$\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c=1$

We can combine the fractions on the left side:

$\dfrac{bc}{abc}+\dfrac{ac}{abc}+\dfrac{ab}{abc}=\dfrac{bc+ac+ab}{abc}=1$

$\implies abc=bc+ac+ab$

NEED HELP ASAP!!! ON A KHAN ACADEMY TEST AND DON"T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT!!! CORRECT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!!

Otrada [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is correct, except that if you have two variables you will need two equations. The other equation (the easy one!) was x+ y = 100, from which you might want to solve for y = 100-x, and substitute into the other equation to get:

.30x + .02(100-x) = .04(100)

.30x + 2 - .02x = 4

.28x = 2

x = 2/.28 = 50/7 or approximately 7.14 gallons of cream

100-x = 92 6/7 or approximately 92.86 gallons of 2%

Grant plans to evaporate enough water from 22 gallons of a 16% ammonia solution to make a 24% ammonia solution. Which equation c

Paha777 [63]

First lets write down our starting conditions:

we have 22 gallons and it has 16% of ammonia

16% of 22 gallons is
A = 16/100*22 = 3,52 gallons

Now since only watter is evaporating that means that in second scenario after some watter evaporated there is still 3,52 gallons of ammonia. But now those 3,52 gallons of ammonia represent 24% of total mixture. So now we go other way.
24 % is 3,52 gallons
100% is x gallons

x = 100/24*3,52 = 14.667 gallons

That means that he has to evaporate
22 - 14.6667 = 7,333 gallons of water.
