Answer: Mary is \dfrac{n}{n-15} times heavier then her sister.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mary weighs n kg while her sister weighs 15 kg less.

Then, the expression to represent her sister's weight = n-15

Now, the number of times Mary is heavier than her sister is given by :-

\dfrac{\text{Mary's weight}}{\text{Sister's weight}}\\\\=\dfrac{n}{n-15}

Hence, Mary is \dfrac{n}{n-15} times heavier then her sister.

Answer:

Mary is  \frac{n}{n-15}  times heavier than her sister

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary's Weight = n

Sister's Weight = n - 15

To find how many times mary is heavier, we need to multiply "that many time" [let it be x] with sister's weight to get Mary's weight.

<u>e.g. </u>If someone weighs 100 and another person 50, 50 * 2 = 100, thus, 100 kg person is 2 times heaving. We do same for this:

(n - 15) * x = n

x = n/(n - 15)

olasank [31]

Assuminhg the ark has a shoe-box (cuboid) shape it´s volume would be:

V_{cuboid}=lenght*width*height

We have this three measurements (l=300cubits;w=50cubits;h=30cubits)) and it can be as simple as replacing them in the equation and solving but they are in all in cubits. We will convert them to ft because the problem requires the answer in ft^{3}. In order to do this we will use the given equivalences:

1cubit=6palms\\1palm=3.10in

and another one:

1ft=12in

First we will convert from cubits to palms:

l=300cubits*\frac{6palms}{1cubit}=1800palms\\w=50cubits*\frac{6palms}{1cubit}=300palms\\h=30cubits*\frac{6palms}{1cubit}=180palms\\

now from palms to in:

l=1800palms*\frac{3.10in}{1palm}=5580in\\w=300palms*\frac{3.10in}{1palm}=930in\\h=180palms*\frac{3.10in}{1palm}=558in\\

now from in to ft:

l=5580in*\frac{1ft}{12in}=465ft\\w=930in*\frac{1ft}{12in}=77.5ft\\h=558in*\frac{1ft}{12in}=46.5ft

We can calculate the Volume now like this:

V_{ark}=465ft*77.5ft*46.5ft=1675743.75ft^{3}

The volume of trhe ark would be 1675743.75ft^{3}

cricket20 [7]
From the Venn diagram: 15 players like Chemstrand, 17 players like Chemgrass, 13 players like both Chemstrand and Chemgrass while 10 players like neither Chemstrand nor Chemgrass.

The missing values in the frequency table are x - representing the number of players that like both Chemstrand and Chemgrass, y - representing the number of players that like Chemgrass but do not like Chemstrand and z - representing the number of players likes Chemstrand but do not like Chemgrass.

The number of players that like both Chemstrand and Chemgrass is 13. The number of players that like Chemgrass but do not like Chemstrand is 17. The number of players likes Chemstrand but do not like Chemgrass is 15.

Therefore, x = 13, y = 17 and z = 15

A row of tiny red beads is placed at the beginning and at the end of a 20‐centimeter bookmark.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

51 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of bookmark = 20cm

Distance between beads = 4mm

Required

Number of rows of beads

First, the distance between the rows of beads must be converted to cm

if 1mm = 0.1cm

then

4mm = 4*0.1cm

4mm = 0.4 cm

This means that each row of beads is placed at 0.4 cm mark.

The distance between each row follows an arithmetic progression and it can be solved as follows;

T_n = a + (n-1)d

Where Tn = 20cm (The last term)

a = 0 cm (The first term)

d = 0.4cm (The distance between each row of beads)

n = ?? (number of rows)

Solving for n; we have the following;

T_n = a + (n-1)d becomes

20 = 0 + (n-1)0.4

20 =  (n-1)0.4

DIvide both sides by 0.4

\frac{20}{0.4} =  \frac{(n-1)0.4}{0.4}

50 =  (n-1)

50 =  n-1

Add 1 to both sides

50 + 1=  n-1 + 1

n = 51

Hence, the number of rows of beads is 51
