I)
Every 8.th voter gets a button:

so a sequence of the voters who receive a button is:

8, 16, 24, 32, ....   that is  8*1, 8*2, 8*3, 8*4, .... in general: 8k for some integer k  

ii)

Every 10.th voter gets a sticker, so the voters who receive stickers are the :

10, 20, 30, 40, .... voters    that is 10*1, 10*2, 10*3, 10*4... in general 10t

for some integer t


iii) what we are looking for is the first number which is 8k and 10t at the same time.

8k=2*2*2k, 
10t=2*5t

Thus this number must be divisible by 2*2*2*5*{some positive integer}

the smallest number is when the positive integer is 1, thus the number is 

2*2*2*5=8*5=40


Answer: g. the 40th

2x = 15042
x = 7521
x + 2 = 7521 + 2 = 7523

During the first 3 days of the week, Mike read an average of 28 pages per day. During the next 4 days, Mike averaged 42 pages pe
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

36 pages per day on average

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the average.

3 * 28 (The first 3 days of the week where Mike reads 28 pages per day) = 84

4 * 42 (The next 4 days where Mike reads 42 pages per day ) = 168

168 + 84 = 252



To find the average using this total, divide it by the total amount of days of reading (seven days in this problem).

252 / 7 = 36
