If the cookies had been divided equally between the h grandchildren then each grandchild would receive 96/h  cookies.
So Cindy  received (96/h) - 5   cookies

Does not say how many grandchildren. Say n, integer. So, all received some cookies, x, except Cindy, who received 5 less than the even number:

even number= 96/n, Cindy gets 96/n-5, the rest receive the rest of the cookies:

96 - (96/n-5) = 96*(1-1/n) + 5 = 96*(n-1)/n + 5.

Then each of them (n-1) receive the previous number divided by (n-1) -Cindy is not there:

each of the other grandchildren receives:

96/n + 5/(n-1), and Cindy receives 96/n-5, it just needs to be positive.

So any number 'n' which divides 96 and 'n-1' divides 5 works.

Indeed ONLY n=6, makes 5/(6-1) possible.

So there are 6 grandchildren:

5 receive 17 cookies, and Cindy gets 11.

If it were evenly distributed, all would have got 96/6 = 16 cookies.

Now 5 get one more cookie, and Cindy 5 less.

WOW. Very nice problem!! Gonna share it :)

Kim is watching a space shuttle launch from an observation spot 2 miles away. Find the angle of elevation from Kim to the space
hammer [34]

Answer:

<h2><em>46.4°</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagrammatic representation in the attachment given.

We can see that the diagram is a right angled triangle. To get the angle of elevation, we will use one of the trigonometry identity SOH, CAH, TOA.

Given the adjacent of the triangle to be 2miles (observation spot from the point of launch)and the opposite (side facing the elevation angle) as 2.1miles (the height), we will use TOA.

tan∅ = opposite/adjacent

tan∅ = 2.1/2

tan∅  = 1.05

∅ = tan⁻¹1.05

∅ = 46.4°

<em>Hence the angle of elevation from Kim to the space shuttle, which is at a height of 2.1 miles is approximately 46.4°</em>

For Bill's birthday his mom is bringing donuts to school.
kipiarov [429]

36 donuts (2 1/2 dozen) = $8.00

So, you divide 8 by 36 and you get about 22¢ for each donut. Then, you do .22 x 12 which equals $2.64.

One dozen donuts = $2.64
