Answer:
a.
b. His teacher will receive more pencils (See explanation).
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The total number of pencils Louis brings to school is:
Then, in order to calculate the number of pencils Louis’s teacher will receive after he gives each of his 15 classmates an equal number of pencils, you need to solve the division show in the picture attached.
Notice that the remainder obtained is: .
<em>This means that Louis’s teacher will receive 4 pencils.</em>
b. If Louis decides instead to take an equal share of the pencils along with his classmates, his teacher will receive more pencils; because the amount of pencils each classmate will receive will be less. This means that the number of pencils leftover will increase, leaving more pencils for his teacher.
Answer:
17 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define:
North as the positive y-axis
East as the positive x-axis.
We know that Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin's place.
Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle's place.
So, if we define the origin, (0, 0) as Laura's place.
From:
"that Laura lives 15 miles east of Kevin's place."
We have that the location of Kevin's house is 15 miles west from Laura's place, then Kevin's house is at:
(0, 0) + (-15mi, 0) = (-15mi, 0)
From Kevin lives 8 miles south of Michelle's place, we know that Michelle's live 8 miles north of Kevin's place.
Then the location of Michele's house is the location of Kevin's plus (0, 8mi).
Michelle's house is located at:
(-15mi, 0) + (0, 8mi) =(-15mi, 8mi)
Now we want to find the distance between Michelle's house and Laura's house.
Michelle's house is at (-15mi, 8mi)
Laura's house is at (0mi, 0mi)
Remember that the distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by:
Then the distance between (-15mi, 8mi) and (0mi, 0mi) is:
The correct option is the first one, 17 miles.
