In the EXPLORE online library, the ratio of the number of novels to that of dictionaries is 2:3 and the total number of novels is 624. If Joe buys more novels and the ratio becomes 7:3, then how many novels have been bought in total?

Answers

Answer 1

Using a system of equations, it is found that 1530 more novels have been bought in total.

For the system, we have that:

x is the number of novels.y is the number of dictionaries.

The ratio of the number of novels to that of dictionaries is 2:3, hence:

[tex]\frac{x}{y} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]3x = 2y[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{3x}{2}[/tex]

Total number of novels is 624, hence:

[tex]x = 624[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{3}{2} \times 624 = 936[/tex]

Buys z more novels, and the ratio becomes [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex], hence:

[tex]\frac{624 + z}{923} = \frac{7}{3}[/tex]

[tex]1872 + 3z = 6461[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{6461 - 1872}{3}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1530[/tex]

1530 more novels have been bought in total.

The sixth number 20210A is prime for only one digit A. What is A?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Beyond the first few primes, all prime numbers end in one of the odd digits, 1, 3, 7, or 9. We can reduce this list by using a couple of simple divisibility rules.

The sum of the digits is 2+0+2+1+0+A = A+5. The number will be divisible by 3 if A+5 is divisible by 3. That will be the case for A=1 and A=7.

The sum of odd digits is A+1+0 = A+1. The sum of even digits is 0+2+2 = 4. When these sums are equal, the number is divisible by 11. That will be the case for A=3.

So, we have ruled out all digits except 9. If the number is prime it must be ...

  202109

  A = 9

_____

Additional comment

To make sure the number is prime, we would need to check divisibility by all primes less than √202109 ≈ 449.

Answer: 9

the answer is 9 because if i root 202109 i get about 446 and if its decimal it prime

Solution:-

Given fractional expression: [(5/6 + 2/3) - (3/4 + 1/12)]

Take the LCM of denominator 3 and 6 is 6.

Again take the LCM of denominator 4 and 12 is 12.

so,

⟼ [9/6 - 10/12]

Now, take the LCM of the denominator 9 and 12 is 36.

⟼ [(54-30)/36]

Now, reduce the fraction by extracting and cancaling out with 2.

⟼ [24÷2/36÷2]

a. (7 pts) What is the probability that this couple spends 45 dollars or more?
b. (7 pts) Suppose that the restaurant is currently running a promotion with a
10% discount if the total amount spent by a table is 45 dollars or more.
What is expected total amount the couple actually has to pay?

Answers

Using the probability table, it is found that:

a) There is a 0.25 = 25% probability that this couple spends 45 dollars or more.

b) The expected amount the couple actually has to pay is $36.85.

From the table, the probabilities of each total cost are:

[tex]P(X = 30) = P(X = 15|Y = 15) = 0.2[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 35) = P(X = 15|Y = 20) + P(X = 20|Y = 15) = 0.15 + 0.15 = 0.3[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 40) = P(X = 15|Y = 25) + P(X = 20|Y = 20) + P(X = 25|Y = 15) = 0.05 + 0.15 + 0.05 = 0.25[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 45) = P(X = 20|Y = 25) + P(X = 25|Y = 20) = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 50) = P(X = 25|Y = 25) = 0.05[/tex]

Item a:

This probability is:

[tex]P(X \geq 45) = P(X = 45) + P(X = 50) = 0.2 + 0.05 = 0.25[/tex]

There is a 0.25 = 25% probability that this couple spends 45 dollars or more.

Item b:

The expected value is the sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability.

For X = 45 and X = 50, the value is multiplied by 0.9, due to the discount.

Hence:

[tex]E(X) = 0.2(30) + 0.3(35) + 0.25(40) + 0.9[0.2(45) + 0.05(50)] = 36.85[/tex]

The expected amount the couple actually has to pay is $36.85.

A farmer wants to increase the area of His rectangular pen but keep the pen a rectangular shape. He decides to a 5.7 yards of fencing
to the width of the pen but the length will remain 9.5 yards. The new area will be 77.9 square yards.
Which can be used to determine the original width of the pen?
5.7 (W+9.5) = 77.9
S95219
9.5 (W + 5.7) = 77.9

Answers

Using the equation for the area of a rectangle, the original width of the pen is determined by:

9.5 (W + 5.7) = 77.9

The area of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

[tex]A = lw[/tex]

In this problem:

Increases the width by 5.7 yards, hence [tex]w = w + 5.7[/tex], in which w is the original width.The length remains at 9.5 yards, hence [tex]l = 9.5[/tex].The area is of 77.9 square yards, hence [tex]A = 77.9[/tex]

Then:

[tex]A = lw[/tex]

[tex]9.5(w + 5.7) = 77.9[/tex]
