Answer:

  9

Step-by-step explanation:

The 79-digit number of interest can be formulated as a sum of shorter numbers whose remainders can be computed.

<h3>Expanded form</h3>

The expanded form of the number can be written as ...

  a_44 = 01×10^78 +23×10^76 +45×10^74 +67×10^72 +89×10^70 +...

  +10×10^68 +11×10^66 +... +43×10^2 +44×10^0

<h3>Powers of 10</h3>

Each number except the last is multiplied by a power of 10. Powers of 10 modulo 45 are ...

  10 mod 45 = 10

  100 mod 45 = 10

This lets us conclude that any positive power of 10 mod 45 is 10.

<h3>Parts of the sum</h3>

In short, all of the multiplication by powers of 10 can be collapsed to a single multiplication by 10. Hence, the mod 45 value of a_44 will be ...

  a_44 mod 45 = (((01 +23 +45 +67 +89) +10 +11 +12 +... +43)×10 +44) mod 45

  = (((01 +23 +45 +67 +89) mod 45 + sum(10 .. 43) mod 45)×10 +44) mod 45

  = (((225 mod 45) +(901 mod 45))×10 +44) mod 45

  = ((0 +1)×10 +44) mod 45

<h3>Final value</h3>

  a_44 mod 45 = 54 mod 45 = 9

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The result can be confirmed by a suitable calculator.

__

The sum of the 34 numbers from 10 to 43 is the product of their average value (10+43)/2 = 26.5 and their number, 34. (26.5×34) = 901.

Baker made 5 pounds of icing. He used 4/9 of the icing to decorate. How much did he have left over?
Elena L [17]
If the baker made 5 pounds of icing and used 4/9 of the icing to make decorations, then he used:

5 * 4/9 =
= 20/9 =
= 2 2/9 [of icing]

To find out how much he has left over, we just need to substract 2 2/9 from 5:

5 - 2 2/9 =
= 3 - 2/9 =
= 2 7/9

Answer: The baker has <u>2 7/9</u> of the icing left.
