Mr Lim had a bag of sweets. After giving each pupil 7 sweets, he had 4 sweets left. If he had given only 5 sweets to each pupil, he would have 4 sweets left. If he had given only 5 sweets to each pupil, he would have 80 sweets left.
i.How many pupils were there in the class?
ii. How many sweets did Mr Lim have?

Answers

Answer 1

Solving a system of equations we can see that there are 270 sweets and 38 pupils.

How many pupils and sweets are there?

Let's define the variables:

P = number of pupils.

S= number of sweets.

With the given information, we can write:

7*P + 4 = S

5*P  + 80 = S

So we have a system of equations, now we can write:

7*P + 4 = S = 5*P  + 80

Solving that for P:

7*P + 4 = 5*P + 80

7*P - 5*P = 80 - 4

2*P = 76

P = 76/2 = 38

There are 38 pupils, and the number of sweets is given by:

S = 7*P + 4 = 7*38 + 4 = 270

An unbiased number cube is rolled 24 times and lands on an even number 10 times. What is the approximate difference between the
theoretical and experimental probabilities for rolling an even number?
12%
17%
8%
2%

Answers

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The approximate difference between the theoretical and experimental probabilities for rolling an even number is 8%

Theoretical probability is what we expect to happen, whereas experimental probability is what actually happens when we try it out. The probability is still calculated the same way, using the number of possible ways an outcome can occur divided by the total number of outcomes. As more trials are conducted, the experimental probability generally gets closer to the theoretical probability.

Theoretical probability of rolling a cube and getting a even number is 1/2 or 50% as number of odd numbers and number of even numbers are equal.

Experimental probability = Favorable outcomes/Total outcomes

Experimental probability = 10/24 = 5/12 ≅ 42%

Thus approximate difference between these two equals 50% - 42% = 8%

A plot of land has an area of 33.75 square feet. Jackson wants to put a 4-foot by 4-foot shed on the land. He can only do this if the height of the trapezoid is at least 4.5 feet. What is the height of the trapezoid?

feet

Answers

The given height of this trapezoid is given to be 4.5m

How to solve for the height of the trapezoid

We have to solve for this by making use of the height of a trapezoid. The height is given as

A = (1/2) h (b1 + b2)

The variables here are

h = height

b1 = lenght at base 1

b2 = length at base 2

If the trapezoid that we have is a isosceles triangle, then base 1 is going to be the same length as that of the first base

b1 = 4 ft is the area. Given that the height has to be at least 4.5feet, then this would ensure that the trapezoid would be able to hold the shed.

Hence the height would begiven as 4.5 ft

Find the area of the base of a drum if it needs 88 m long rope to tie twice it around.
solve with full solutions!​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]154 $\ m^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If 88 m of long rope is wrapped twice around the base of the drum, the circumference of the drum is 44m. We can use this information to find the radius of the base.

Find the Radius

The equation for circumference is [tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]. We can substitute the value we found for circumference into the equation:

[tex]44=2\pi r[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]22=\pi r[/tex]

Divide both sides by π

[tex]r=\frac{22}{\pi}[/tex]

Use the Radius to find the Area

The area of a circle is [tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]. We can substitute the value we found for the radius into the equation:

[tex]A=\pi (\frac{22}{\pi})^2\\[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi (\frac{22}{\pi})(\frac{22}{\pi})[/tex]

[tex]A=22*\frac{22}{\pi}[/tex]

[tex]A=\frac{484}{\pi}[/tex]

Answers

The solution to the system of equations that includes functions f(x) and g(x) is given by: (1,7).

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The linear function g(x) goes through point (0,5), hence the y-intercept is of 5. The function also goes through point (1,7), hence the slope is of 2 and the function is:

g(x) = 5 + 2x.

The solution to the system of equations is found as follows:

f(x) = g(x)

2x² + x + 4 = 5 + 2x

2x² - x - 1 = 0

Which is a quadratic equation with coefficient a = 2, b = -1, c = -1, hence:

[tex]\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-1) = 9[/tex][tex]x_1 = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2a} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{9}}{4} = 1[/tex][tex]x_2 = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2a} = \frac{1 - \sqrt{9}}{4} = -0.5[/tex]

When x = 1, f(x) = g(x) = 7, hence the solution of the system is of (1,7).

Find the exact value of sec 135°

Convert into common trigonometric expression

sec = secant

secx = 1 / cosx

Therefore, sec 135° = 1 / (cos 135°)

Find the reference angle

135° is quite a complicated angle, but it is possible to simplify it by finding its reference angle.

Since 135° is in the second quadrant, its reference angle will be

                                         180° - 135° = 45°

However, we need to consider the positive and negative.

In a coordinate plane, the clue is (A S T C), which corresponds to the positive values in each quadrant. In the QI, "All" are positive. In the QII, sine is positive. In the QIII, the tangent is positive. In QIV, cosine is positive.

Therefore, when the value of cosine is in QII, it is negative.

The reference angle = - (1 / cos 45°)

Determine the final value

Given that the reference angle = - (1 / cos 45°)

cos 45° = 1 / √2

Therefore:

sec 135° = - (1 / cos 45°) = - (1 / (1 / √2)) = [tex]\boxed{-\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

If the magnitude and direction of two vectors match, they are the same vector. This indicates that if we take a vector and move it to a different point (without rotating it), the vector we finish up with is the same vector we started with.

Given,

4 yd.

Answers

Answer:

8 pi yd.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle can be calculated as follows:

c = [tex]2 \cdot \pi \cdot r[/tex]

Where r is the radius of the circumference.

So in our case:

c = [tex]2 \cdot \pi \cdot 4yd = 8\cdot \pi[/tex] yd.

The circumference of the circle, in the attached image is approximately 25.1 yards.

How to calculate the circumference of the circle

To find the circumference of a circle, you can use the formula:

Circumference = 2 * π * radius

where π = 3.14159.

Given the radius of the circle is 4 yards, the circumference can be calculated as follows:

Circumference = 2 * 3.14159 * 4 yards ≈ 25.13272 yards

Now, rounding to the nearest tenth, the circumference of the circle is approximately 25.1 yards.
