Jimmy received 122 pennies more than Andre

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that , Sam, Jimmy, and Andre shared a number of pennies in the ratio 8:5:3

Sam and Andre received a total of 671 pennies.  

Now, let the H.C.F of number of pennies with them be "x"

Then, number of pennies with Sam will be 8x

Number of pennies with Jimmy will be 5x

Number of pennies with Andre will be 3x

Now, we know that, Sam and Andre has a total of 671 pennies

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow \quad 8 x+3 x=671} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \quad 11 x=671} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \quad x=61}\end{array}

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Then, Sam will have } 8 \times 61=488 \text { pennies, }} \\\\ {\text { Jimmy will have } 5 \times 61=305 \text { pennies, }} \\\\ {\text { Andre will have } 3 \times 61=183 \text { pennies. }}\end{array}

<em><u>Calculating how many more pennies Jimmy received than Andre:</u></em>

Number of Pennies Jimmy received more than Andre = Pennies with jimmy - Pennies with Andre

= 305 – 183 = 122

Hence, jimmy has 122 pennies more than Andre

Jordan is cutting a 2 meter by 1 1/4 meter into two pieces by its diagonal line
Airida [17]

Question:

Jordan is cutting a 2 meter by 1\frac{1}{4} meter piece of rectangular paper into two pieces along its diagonal. what is the area of each of the pieces?

Answer:

Area of each piece of paper is 1 \frac{1}{4} \ m^2.

Solution:

Length of the paper = 2 m

Width of the paper =  1\frac{1}{4} m =  \frac{5}{4} m

<em>Area of the rectangle = length × width</em>

                                    $=2\times \frac{5}{4}

                                    $= \frac{5}{2} \ m^2

<em>Diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two equal parts.</em>

Area of each piece = Area of the rectangle ÷ 2

                                $=\frac{ \frac{5}{2}}{2}

                                $=\frac{5}{4} \ m^2

                                $=1 \frac{1}{4} \ m^2

Area of each piece of paper is 1 \frac{1}{4} \ m^2.

A rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola y=2−x2. What are the dimensions of su
Paul [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a rectangle is inscribed with its base on the x-axis and its upper corners on the parabola

y=2-x^2

the parabola is open down with vertex at (0,2)

We can find that the rectangle also will be symmetrical about y axis.

Let the vertices on x axis by (p,0) and (-p,0)

Then other two vertices would be (p,2-p^2) (-p,2-p^2) because the vertices lie on the parabola and satisfy the parabola equation

Now width = 2-p^2

Area = l*w = 2(2p-p^3)

Use derivative test

I derivative = 2(2-3p^2)

II derivative = -12p

Equate I derivative to 0 and consider positive value only since we want maximum

p = \sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }

Thus width= \sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }

Length =2\sqrt{\frac{2}{3} }

Width = 2-2/3 = 4/3
