DJ Joe wants to organize 127 CD's into storage boxes. Each storage box can hold a
maximum of 10 CD's. What is the least number of storage boxes needed?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

13 storage boxes is the least

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

- We have 127 cd's

- We have boxes only able to hold 10

What we need to figure out:

- how many boxes at the least are we going to need

Step 1: Divide

Since we need to figure out how many times 10 goes into 127 we divide 127 by 10 so...

127/10 = 12 with a remainder of 7.

Step 2: Figure out the remainder

Since there are seven left over and you cannot put them in boxes already being used then we put them in a new box, not yet used. That would make it a total of 13 boxes needed at the least.

when writing a repeating decimal as a fraction why does the fraction always have only 9’s or 9’s and 0’s as digits in the denominator

Answers

When writing a repeating decimal as fraction , the fraction do not always have only 9’s or 9’s and 0’s as digits in the denominator .

Repeating Decimal is a decimal in which after certain point a particular digit  or sequence of digit repeats itself infinitely  .

For Example : 0.66666666...    

When in a fraction the numerator is divided by the denominator , it is not at all necessary that the denominator will always have 9’s or 9’s and 0’s .

We can understand more with the help of an example .

example : 1/3 = 0.3333... is a repeating decimal , which does not have a 9 , 0 in the denominator .

(ii) 5/3 = 1.666666.... is a repeating decimal , which does not have a 9 , 0 in the denominator .

The Explicit Formula is a(n) = 27×[tex](\frac{2}{3})^n^-^1[/tex]

Given,

The first four terms are 27, 18, 12, 8.

Find the common ratio:

To do this, let that ratio = r,

on average, 12 customers use the bank's atm during the noon lunch hour. what is the probability that exactly 10 customers will use the atm during the next noon lunch hour? assume the poisson distribution applies.

Answers

The probability that exactly 10 customers will use the atm during the next noon lunch hour is 0.0948

How to determine the probability the number of customers is 10

From the question, we have the following parameters:

Average number of customers = 12

Number of customers = 10

The above parameters means that:

x = 10

λ = 12

The probability of a Poisson distribution is represented as

P(x) = λˣe⁻λ/x!

This gives

P(x = 12) = 10¹² * e⁻¹⁰/12!

Evaluate

P(x = 12) = 10¹² * e⁻¹⁰/479001600

Solving further, we have

P(x = 12) = 0.0948

Hence, the probability is 0.0948

What values of u and v make △QRS≅△IKJ?

Answers

The values of u and v that makes △QRS and △IKJ congruent triangles are u = 7 and v = 3

How to determine the values of u and v?

The triangles are given as

△QRS and △IKJ

The statement △QRS≅△IKJ means that

The triangles △QRS and △IKJ are congruent triangles

This means that the corresponding sides are congruent

So, we have the following equations:

v + u + 15 = 10u - 15v

-4u + 2v + 99 = 7v + 8u

Evaluate the like terms

So, we have

9u - 16v = 15

12u + 5v = 99

Make u the subject in 12u + 5v = 99

So, we have

u = (-5v + 99)/12

Substitute u = (-5v + 99)/12 in 9u - 16v = 15

9(-5v + 99)/12 - 16v = 15

So, we have

9(-5v + 99) - 192v = 180

Open brackets

-45v + 891 - 192v = 180

Evaluate the like terms

-237v = -711

Divide by -237

v = 3

Substitute v = 3 in u = (-5v + 99)/12

u = (-5 x 3 + 99)/12

Evaluate

u = 7

Cost of 100 grams. Cereal=49p

Work out the total cost in £

Answers

100grams x 4 = 400grams
100 grams of cereal= 49p
49p x 4 = 196 p
If 100grams of cereal equals to 49p then 400 grams is 196p ( 49p x 4)


If 100 grams of pasta = 14 p
then 500 grams of pasta = 700p
But we want to find 250 grams of pasta ……500grams /2 = 250grams so 700p /2= 350p which is the cost of 250 grams of pasta


The total cost = cost of the 400 grams of cereal + cost of the 250 grams of pasta
196p + 350p = 546p is the total BUT we want the answer in pounds so we divide 546p by 100 = £5.46

The coordinates of the triangle FGH after dilating by 1/2 is F'(-2, -5/2), G'(-3/2, -1), and H'(-1/2, -3/2)

How to determine the coordinates of FGH after the dilation?

From the question, the given parameters are the vertices of Triangle FGH

The vertices are represented as

F(-4, -5), G(-3, -2), and H(-1, -3).

Also, from the question, we have

The scale factor of dilation is

k = 1/2

The above implies that

k represents the scale factor of dilation

The coordinates after the dilation is calculated as

Image of dilation = Vertices of the triangle x Scale factor

Substitute the known values in the above equation

So, we have

Image of dilation = [F(-4, -5), G(-3, -2), and H(-1, -3)] x 1/2

Evaluate the products

So, we have

Image of dilation = F'(-2, -5/2), G'(-3/2, -1), and H'(-1/2, -3/2)

What is a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is the second-order degree algebraic expression in a variable. the standard form of this expression is  ax² + bx + c = 0 where a. b are coefficients and x is the variable and c is a constant.

Given that the values of x and h (x) for the quadratic function is given by;

x = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,

h (x) = -2, -3, -2, 1, 6, 13, 22

Consider the quadratic function as;

h (x) = ax² + bx + c

Now Substitute x = -3 and h (x) = -2 in quadratic function we get;

h (x) = ax² + bx + c

- 2 = a × (-3)² + b × -3 + c

- 2 = 9a - 3b + c

And, Plug x = -2 and h (x) = -3 in function we get;

h (x) = ax² + bx + c

- 3 = a × (-2)² + b × -2 + c

- 3 = 4a - 2b + c

And, plug x = -1 and h (x) = -2 in function we get;

h (x) = ax² + bx + c

- 2 = a × (-1)² + b × -1 + c

- 2 = a - b + c

After solving we get:

a = 1 , b = 4 and c = 1

Then

h (x) = ax² + bx + c

h (x) = 1 × x² + 4x + 1

h (x) = x² + 4x + 1

h (x) = x² + 4x + 4 - 4 + 1

h (x) = (x + 2)² - 3

Hence, The quadratic function of h (x) in vertex form will be as h(x) = (x + 2)² − 3

If Rob purchases a car that depreciates at a rate of 6% each year, how much will the car be worth after 10 years?

Answers

After 10 years, the car will be worth 0.54 of the price when Rob purchases it. The result is obtained using the exponential depreciation equation.

How to calculate depreciation?

The depreciation can be calculated by the exponential depreciation equation.

y = P (1 - r)ˣ

Where

y = the value after a period of yearsP = the original valuer = the depreciation ratex = the number of periode

If given

r = 6%x = 10 years

How much will the car be worth after 10 years?

The depreciation rate would be

r = 6%

r = 6/100

r = 0.06

So, after 10 years, the car would be worth

y = P (1 - r)ˣ

y = P (1 - 0.06)¹⁰

y = P (0.94)¹⁰

y = P (0.54)

y = 0.54P

Hence, after 10 years, the car will be worth 0.54 of its original price.
