Andy and his friend sam were walking along the road together. andy had a big bag of marbles. unfortunately the bottom of the bag split and all the marbles spilled out. poor andy! one third of the marbles rolled down the slope too quickly for andy to pick them up. one sixth of all the marbles disappeared into the rain-water drain. andy and sam picked up all they could but half of the marbles that remained nearby were picked up by other children who ran off with them. andy counted all the marbles he and sam had rescued. he gave one third of these to sam for helping him pick them up. andy put his remaining marbles into his pocket. there were 14 of them. how many marbles were there in andy's bag before the bottom split?

Answers

Answer 1

The total number of marbles that were there in Andy's bag before the bottom split are 84 marbles.

Let, the total number of marbles Andy have in the bad in beginning = x

One third of the marbles rolled down the slope too quickly for Andy to pick them up. So we can write,

Total number of marbles Andy have now = x - (x/3)

One sixth of all the marbles disappeared into the rain-water drain. So, So we can write,

Total number of marbles Andy have now = x - (x/3) - (x/6) = (x/2)

Half of the marbles that remained nearby were picked up by other children who ran off with them. So, we can write

Total number of marbles Andy have now = (x/2) - (x/4) = (x/4)

Andy gave one third of these to Sam for helping him pick them up. So,

Total number of marbles Andy have now = (x/4) - (x/12) = (x/6)

Now, we have given that Andy have 14 marbles in the end in his pocket. On comparing it with above equation, we get

(x/6) = 14

⇒ x = 84

The total number of marbles that were there in Andy's bag before the bottom split are 84 marbles.

Randy's swimming coach kept track of his average 50-meter lap times during the first 3 weeks of training. How much greater was the percent of change from Week 1 to Week 2 than from Week 2 to Week 3? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answers

The percent of the first change is greater by 2.36%.

Time in 1st week = 28.8 sec

Time in 2nd week = 27.6 sec

Time in 3rd week = 27.1 sec

Change of time from week 1 to week 2 = (28.8 - 27.6) sec

                                                                    = 1.2 sec

Percent of change from week 1 to week 2 = [tex]\frac{time change}{1st week time} \times 100[/tex] %

                                                                         = [tex]\frac{1.2}{28.8} \times 100[/tex] %

                                                                         = 4.17%

∴ Change of time from week 2 to week 3 = (27.6 - 27.1) sec

                                                                     = 0.5 sec

∴ Percent of change from week 2 to week 3 = [tex]\frac{Time change}{2nd week time} \times 100[/tex] %

                                                                          = [tex]\frac{0.5}{27.6} \times 100[/tex] %

                                                                          = 1.81%

∴ The greater change was in the first week. The amount by which it was greater is = (4.17 - 1.81) %

suppose that a function f has domain (-2,2) and range (-3,5). what is the domain of the function f(2x)?

Answers

The domain of the function f(2x) is (-1, 1).

Given that a function f has domain (-2,2) and range (-3,5).

We need to determine the domain of the function f(2x).

To determine the domain of the function f(2x), we need to consider how the original domain (-2,2) is affected by the transformation of multiplying the input by 2.

When we multiply x by 2, it stretches or compresses the function horizontally.

In this case, multiplying by 2 will stretch the original domain by a factor of 1/2.

To find the new domain, we divide the original domain endpoints by 2:

New domain = (-2/2, 2/2) = (-1, 1)

Therefore, the domain of the function f(2x) is (-1, 1).

b. A soccer ball has a mass of 423 grams. The soccer
ball loses 0.016 kilogram of mass over time. Is the

Answers

The absolute value equation is:

|M - 430g| = 20g

And the solutions are M = 410g and M = 450g

b) No, the mass is not acceptable.

How to write the absolute value equation?

We know that the recomended mass is 0.43kg, with an accepted error of 20 grams.

Where:

0.43kg = 0.43*1000g = 430g

Then the minimum mass accepted is: 430g - 20g = 410g

The maximum mass accepted is: 430g + 20g = 450g

These are the solutions, and the absolute value equation is, if M is the mass:

|M - 430g| = 20g

b) If the ball has a mass of 423g it is in the accepted range, if now it loses 0.016kg:

0.016kg = 0.016*1000g = 16g

The new mass is:

423g - 16g = 407g

This is smaller than the minimum accepted mass, then this mass is not acceptable.

b is the breadth or width of the rectangle

Given,

A rectangular plot of land measures 40.0 m by 120.0 m, with a parcel 10.0 m by 12.0 m out of one corner for an electrical transformer.

Here we need to find the remaining area of the rectangular plot land.

For that first, we have to find the area of each separately,

Like,

The area of the rectangular plot is,

A₁ = 40.0 x 120.0 m²

A₁ = 4800m²

Similarly, the area of the electric transformer is,

A₂ = 10.0 x 12.0 m²

A₂ = 120m²

Now the remining area is,

Time taken by Rosa to ran the hurdle = 58.32 seconds .

Time taken by Maya to ran the hurdle = 54.078 seconds .

Difference between the time taken:

Rosa is taking more time to cover the distance than Maya . Thus the speed of Rosa is less than the speed of Maya .

Relationship between speed, time and distance.

Distance = Speed × Time

Answers

We have to plot the square roots of the numbers 70, 85, 99, and 112  between 64 and 125 ( d )

First, we must evaluate the square root of given numbers.

√70 = √ ( 2 × 5 ×7 ) = 8.36

√85 = √ ( 5 × 17 ) = 9.22

√99 = √( 9 × 11 ) = 3√11 = 9.95

√112 = √( 4 × 4 × 7 ) = 4 √7  = 10.58

All these numbers ( 8.36, 9.22, 9.95 , 10.58 )  belong between, square roots of √64 and √125 which are 8 and 15. So we have to put these numbers in between the square roots of 64 and 125 on the number table.

What is a Polyhedron?

A polyhedron is a three dimensional solid shape made by joining together polygons.

For example we can consider a prism having 12-sided regular polygons as bases because then there would be 2 bases and 12 lateral sides for a total of 14 sides for the polyhedron.

Since the lateral faces are rectangles and not 12-sided polygons like the bases, the polyhedron is an irregular polyhedron.
