Your brother is 13 your age. Your sister is 6 years older than your brother. Your sister is 10 years old. Write and solve an equation to find your age a.

Answers

Answer 1

By setting up equations using the information about your siblings' ages, we find out that you are 12 years old.

To find your age, we can set up an equation based on the information given:

Your sister is 10 years old.

Your brother is 13 your age, meaning 1/3 of your age.

Your sister is 6 years older than your brother. Therefore, if your brother's age is b, your sister's age is b + 6.

Since your sister is 10, this allows us to write the equation for your brother's age as:

b + 6 = 10

Solving for b, we get:

b = 10 - 6 => 4

Now we know your brother is 4 years old, and since he is 13 your age, we can write another equation:

a ÷3 = 4

Multiplying both sides by 3 to solve for a:

a = 4 × 3 => 12

You are 12 years old.

A box contains 3 cherry frozen treats and 2 grape frozen treats. Maggie takes a treat from the box without looking, gives it to her brother, and then selects another treat. What is the probability that her brother gets a grape treat and she gets a cherry treat?








Answers

Answer:

6/20 = 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Her brother gets the first treat.  There are 2 grape treats out of 3+2 = 5 total; this is a probability of 2/5.

Maggie gets the second treat.  There will still be 3 cherry treats left, but only 5-1 = 4 treats remaining; this is a probability of 3/4.

Together this gives us 2/5(3/4) = (2*3)/(5*4) = 6/20 = 3/10

Of the members of a student choir, 60% are boys. If there are 21 boys in the choir, how many members does the choir have in total?

Answers

Suppose there are x number of members in all.

Now we are given that 60% of these are boys.

So number of members who are boys = 0.6x

We are also given that there are 21 boys in the choir.

So making an equation ,

[tex] 0.6x =21 [/tex]

dividing both sides by 0.6,

x= 35

So there are total 35 members in the choir.

what is the least common denominator of the rational expressions below?
6/x^2+7x - 8/x^2+10x+21
a. x(x+7)(x+3)
b. x+7
c. x(x+7)^2(x+3)
d. x(x+3)

Answers

The first thing we need to do is factor the denominators in the rational expressions.
Notice that in the denominator of the first rational expression we have a common factor [tex]x[/tex], so we can factor x out:
[tex] x^{2} +7x=x(x+7)[/tex]
Now, the denominator of the second rational expression is a quadratic polynomial, we can factor it by finding tow numbers whose product will 21 and its sum will be 10. Those numbers are 7 and 3, (7x3=21 and 7+3=10):
[tex] x^{2} +10x+21=(x+7)(x+3)[/tex]

Lets rewrite our rational expression with our factored denominators:
[tex] \frac{6}{ x(x+7)} - \frac{8}{(x+7)(x+3)} [/tex]

Now, to find the least common denominator we are going to take one of the common factors (x+7) and all the non-common factors: x and (x+3):
[tex]x(x+7)(x+3)[/tex]

We can conclude that the correct answer is a. x(x+7)(x+3)

Explanation of finding the least common denominator of rational expressions.

The least common denominator of the rational expressions provided is option (d): x(x+3).

Ivan was given two data sets, one without an outlier and one with an outlier.

Data without an outlier: 108, 113, 105, 118, 124, 121, 109
Data with an outlier: 108, 113, 105, 118, 124, 121, 109, 61

How is the median affected by the outlier?

Answers

It make it 121 instead of 118 because there is an extra number and median is the middle of a data set so the number of numbers is important.

Answer:

Median is decreased by the outlier or Outlier made median lower.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate median of the data without an outlier:

Data in Ascending or increasing order ,

105 , 108 , 109 , 113 , 118 , 121 , 124

Now there are 7 terms so

Median = [tex]\frac{7+1}{2}^{th}\:term[/tex] = 4th term = 113

Now we find median of the data with outlier:

Data in ascending or descending order,

61 , 105 , 108 , 109 , 113 , 118 , 121 , 124

here no of terms are 8.

So, Median = [tex]\frac{(\frac{8}{2})^{th}+(\frac{8}{2}+1)^{th}}{2}[/tex]

                   = [tex]\frac{4^{th}+5^{th}}{2}=\frac{109+113}{2}[/tex]

                   = 111

So, Median is decreased by the outlier or Outlier made median lower.

If male and female college students work an average of 15 hours per week during the school year and the standard deviation is 5.4 for male students and 2.3 for female students, what may we conclude?

Answers

The variance of hours males spend working is almost two times as large as females. 60% of those females are more likely to work between 12.7 to 17.3 hours while 60% of the males work between 9.6 to 20.3 hours based on one standard deviation.

Answer: the male sample is more spread than the female sample

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the same for both genres, but the standard deviation form males is bigger than the one for females.

This means that the data of the male students is more spread than the female data (so there are more male students that study more hours, but there also are more male students that study less hours).

So the general conclusion is that the male sample is more spread than the female sample

If 8 identical blackboards are to be divided among 4 schools, how many divisions are possible? how many if each school must receive at least 1 black- board?

Answers

We usually distribute smartboards instead of blackboards these days! 

We have a stars and bars problem.

We represent the blackboards by n=8 stars,  and divide into k=4 schools  (A,B, C & D) using three bars.  Two consecutive bars or a bar at the end means that school has no blackboards.

For example, 
*|***|*|***
Means there are two schools with 1 blackboard, and two other ones with three blackboards.  Another example:
|*||*******
will mean there are two schools (A &C) with no boards, and B will have one, while school D will have 7.

So the problem reduces to counting the number of ways we can put the three identical bars. 

If there is no minimum number of boards for each school, then we can place the k=4 bars at n+1=8+1=9 locations each. 
Using combination notation, there are
C(n+1, k-1)=C(8+1,4-1)=C(9,3)=9!/(3!(9-3)!)=84 ways of distributing 8 blackboards to 4 schools.

On the other hand, if there is a minimum of one board for each school, then each school will get one, leaving 4 to be distributed as above, in
C(4+1,4-1)=C(5,3)=5!/(3!(5-3)!)=10 ways.

Jeremy goes to the store where he buys 18 bananas. After two days, he notices that there are only 10 bananas that are left. Which equation below would Jeremy use to find the percent of bananas that he has left?

A. 10/18 = 100/x
B. 18/10 = x/100
C. 5/9 = x/100
D. 10/18 = x/55.5

Answers

Total number of Bananas = 18
Number of Bananas that are left = 10

Percentage of Bananas that are left = x

Mathematically, x can be expressed as:

[tex]x= \frac{10}{18} * 100 \\ \\ \frac{x}{100}= \frac{10}{18} \\ \\ \frac{x}{100}= \frac{5}{9} [/tex]

Thus the correct percentage of number of bananas that are left is expressed by option c.

Crystal charges a flat fee of $10 plus an additional $5 per hour to babysit given the situation what is the range

Answers

Answer:

perhaps $10 to $10,810

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume Crystal may be willing to babysit for a period of up to 3 months (90 days), so 90×24 = 2160 hours. Her hourly fee for that period will be ...

... (2160 hours) × ($5/hour) = $10,800

That amount added her $10 initial charge may represent the upper limit of her pay. The lower limit will be the $10 initial charge.

_____

Comment on the question

Since no upper limit on hours is given, we conclude the problem is not well-specified.

We can make a variety of different assumptions regarding the upper limit of babysitting time.

We might choose to consider this a daily charge, so the upper limit is $130 per day. We might consider that Crystal is willing to babysit while the child's parents are on a 2-week vacation. We might consider that Crystal is willing to babysit for the duration of her summer vacation from school (about 3 months). This is the assumption we use here.

The solution of the equation is  x = ±3. 162.

What is equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Parts of an Equation

There are different parts of an equation which include coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and an equal to sign. When we write an equation, it is mandatory to have an "=" sign, and terms on both sides. Both sides should be equal to each other. An equation doesn't need to have multiple terms on either of the sides, having variables, and operators.

An equation can be formed without these as well, for example, 5 + 10 = 15. This is an arithmetic equation with no variables.

Given:

x² = 10

Now to solve the above equation we have to take the square root on both side, we get

√x² = √10

x= ±√10

x= ±3. 162 ( because root provides two values one is positive and other is negative)

Hence, the value of x is  ±3. 162.
