Answer: If the number of bills counted is odd, the ones digit is 5; if the number of bills is even, the ones digit is 0.
Explanation
1) Simulate the counting of the bills:
number of bills counted value ones digit
1 5 5
2 5 + 5 = 10 0
3 10 + 5 = 15 5
4 15 + 5 = 20 0
5 20 + 5 = 25 5
6 25 + 5 = 30 0
2) Pattern: you can see that the ones digit alreternate: 5, 0, 5, 0, 5, 0, ...
If the number of bills counted is odd the ones digit is 5, if the number of bills is even the ones digit is 0.
Step one. create a common denominator.
ex. 15
walnuts = 10/15 dried fruit= 9/15
so if you had 15/15 pounds of dried fruit you would need 16/15 pounds of walnuts
which is 1 1/15 pounds of walnuts
Answer:
as written: 7x^2
perhaps intended: 7x^4
Step-by-step explanation:
As written, the Order of Operations specifies that the only denominator factor is 3, so the expression is interpreted as ...
___
Sometimes grouping of denominator factors is intended, but parentheses are not written as they should be. If the intention is ...
21x^3/(3x^-1)
then the simplification is ...
_____
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
a^b/a^c = a^(b-c)
Answer:
(y - 2)²
Step-by-step explanation:
9y² - 12y + 4 ← is a perfect square of the form
(ax - b)² = a²x² - 2abx + b²
Compare like terms with 9y² - 12y + 4, thus
a² = 9 ⇒ a = 3
b² = 4 ⇒ b = 2 and
- 2ab = - 2 × 3 × 2 = - 12
Thus
9y² - 12y + 4 = (3y - 2)²
