Let's call 'it' x. 1/2 is equal to one third of x, so we could say that 1/3x = 1/2
Now we just have a simple equation to solve:
1/3x = 1/2
x = (1/2) / (1/3)
Dividing by a rational number (such as 1/3, which is expressed in fraction form) is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal (the reciprocal of a fraction is itself when the numerator and denominator have been swapped). Therefore
x = (1/2) / (1/3) = (1/2) * 3 = 3/2 = 1.5
To check this answer, test the statement. Half is a third of x, where x=1.5:
1.5 / 3 = 0.5 = 1/2
Answer:
<em>After </em><em>47</em><em> days she will have more than 90 trillion pennies.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
At the beginning there was 1 penny. At the second day the amount of pennies under the pillow became 2.
The amount of pennies doubled each day. So the series is,
This series is in geometric progression.
As the pennies from each of the previous days are not being stored away until more pennies magically appear so the sum of series will be,
where,
a = initial term = 1,
r = common ratio = 2,
As we have find the number of days that would elapse before she has a total of more than 90 trillion, so
Answer:
24 yellow strips
Step-by-step explanation:
since you need two yellow for every blue, you need to double the total of blue to get the number of yellow that are needed.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x ≥ 2800
12*75=900
900< x
To build the table you just have to give values to t and then calculate the corresponding c a per the model.
If the model is c = 5.5 t this is the table
t c
5.5 t
0 5.5(0) = 0
1 5.5(1) = 5.5
2 5.5(2) = 11.0
3 5.5(3) = 16.5
4 5.5(4) = 22.0
5 5.5(5) = 27.5
The viables solutions are all where t is equal or greater than 0. You can even use decimal values for t. You cannot use negative values for t.
