Answer:

1999 moves are required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is - In solving a jigsaw puzzle, a move consists of joining two clusters, including clusters of just one piece.

This means exactly n-1 moves are required to solve a jigsaw puzzle with n pieces.

Here, n = 2000

So, moves will be = 2000-1=1999

Hence. 1999 moves are needed to solve the puzzle.

Solution: As always, try to find a way of looking at the problem that makes the solution simple. In this problem, regardless of the current state of the puzzle, a move consists of combining two clusters into a single cluster. Therefore every move reduces the number of clusters by 1. Since we begin with 2000 clusters (the single pieces) and end with 1 cluster, we need \[2000-1=\boxed{1999}\] moves to complete the puzzle.

8. Lesly took a test with 30 questions. The ratio of correct answers to incorrect answers
Firlakuza [10]

Lesly got 14 answers correctly.

  • Let the correct answers be C.
  • Let the incorrect answers be I.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Total number of questions = 30 questions.
  • Ratio of C to I = 7 : 8
  • C to I = 7 + 8 = 15

To find the number of answers she got correctly;

C = \frac{7}{15} × 30

C = 7 × 2

<em>Correct answers, C </em><em>= </em><em>14 answers</em>

Therefore, Lesly got 14 answers correctly.
