Answer:

A = 2, the number is 3221

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the number to be divisible by 9, the sum of it's digit has to be divisible by 9.

In our case, $4+A+A+1= 9k$ where k is an integer. the easiest way happens when k=1

$5+2A= 9 \rightarrow 2A=4 \rightarrow A = 2$

Higher values of k will likely most work (with k=2 you get A to be a non-integer, which can't work since it's the digit of a number, and with higher values of K you're not getting a number in base 10.

What is 10/8 in simplest form

10/8 in simplest form:

First, we can start off by finding the GCF of the denominator and the numerator. To do so, we need to list the factors of each of them and find the common ones.

Factors of 10: 1, 2, 5, 10
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8

We can see that our common factors are 1 and 2, considering that both the numerator and denominator has the same factors (1 and 2). Since we have our common factors, we need to find the greatest. Which is the greatest out of 1 and 2? The GCF is 2 because it is bigger than 1.

Second, divide the numerator and the denominator by the GCF (2).
$10 \div 2 = 5 \\ 8 \div 2 = 4$

Third, now we can revise our fraction and turn it into the simplest form. Take the two numbers you just got above us and put them in their numerator and denominator spot. You should get: $\frac{5}{4}$

Answer in mixed number form: $\fbox {1 1/4}$

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

20,158 cases

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $t=0$ represent year 2010.

We have been given that since 2010, when 102390 Cases were reported, each year the number of new flu cases decrease to 85% of the prior year.

Since the flu cases decrease to 85% of the prior year, so the flu cases for every next year will be 85% of last year and decay rate is 15%.

We can represent this information in an exponential decay function as:

$F(t)=102,390(1-0.15)^t$

$F(t)=102,390(0.85)^t$

To find number of cases in 2020, we will substitute $t=10$ in our decay function as:

$F(10)=102,390(0.85)^{10}$

$F(10)=102,390(0.1968744043407227)$

$F(10)=20,157.970260446597\approx 20,158$

Therefore, 20,158 cases will be reported in 2020.

Since the length is 10 in. You must multiply it by $\frac{1}{5}$ and then multiply by $\frac{1}{2}$ . The reason for this is because if you divide ten by 5 it will be 2, then if you divide 2 by 2 it will be 1.
