Huw has a maths test. the second question is:

Mathematics
1 answer:
xeze [42]2 years ago
5 0

Huw's answer of 9 days is incorrect because more guests would finish the food in less time so the number of days for 30 guests is less than 6 days.

The number of days that the food can last 30 guests is 4 days.

<h3>How long will Seaview Hotel's food feed 30 guests?</h3>

More guests would eat the food faster which means that it would be finished in less days than the 6 days used by 20 guests.

To find the days the food would last 30 guests, use the inverse proportion formula:
= (Number of guests x Number of days food lasts for guests) / New number of guests

= (20 x 6) / 30

= 4 days

Full question is:

The only food provided for guests at Seaview Hotel is breakfast. The hotel has enough food to make breakfast for 20 guests for 6 days. How long would the food last 30 guests? You may assume each guest eats the same amount of food for breakfast.

Without working out the correct answer, explain why Huw’s answer of 9 days is incorrect.

A fair charges 7.25 for admission and 5.50 for a ride pass. Ten friends visited the fair. Not all of the friends purchased ride
Free_Kalibri [48]
7.25(10) + 5.50p = 105.50
72.50 + 5.50p = 105.50
5.50p = 105.50 - 72.50
5.50p = 33
p = 33 / 5.50
p = 6 <=== there were 6 ride passes purchased

Find k so that the numbers 2k+1,3k+4,and 7k+6 form a geometric sequnce.
Allushta [10]
Let a, b and c be in a geometric sequence, then ac = b^2
Hence, (2k + 1)(7k + 6) = (3k + 4)^2
14k^2 + 19k + 6 = 9k^2 + 24k + 16
5k^2 - 5k - 10 = 0
5k^2 + 5k - 10k - 10 = 0
5k(k + 1) - 10(k + 1) = 0
(5k - 10)(k + 1) = 0
5k - 10 = 0 or k + 1 = 0
5k = 10 or k = -1
k = 2 or k = -1

The geometric sequence formed is
2(2) + 1, 3(2) + 4, and 7(2) + 6
5, 10, and 20
OR
2(-1) + 1, 3(-1) + 4, and 7(-1) + 6
-1, 1, and -1
