Answer:

24 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

During a week the water level in a pond decreased by 4 in. Per day,

For two days, it decreased by half that amount = 4\times\frac{1}{2}=2\ inches\ per\ day

Question asked:

How much did the water level decrease in the pond in one week?

Solution:

As we know, there are 7 days in a week.

<u>For 5 days,</u>

Each day water level decreased by = 4 inches

In 5 days, water level decreased by = 4\times5=20\ inches

<u>For exceptional 2 days:</u>

Each day water level decreased by = 2 inches

In 2 days, water level decreased by = 2\times2=4\ inches

Water level decreased in whole week = 20 + 4 = 24 inches

Therefore, water level decreased 24 inches in the pond in one week.

How many 4 digit multiples can not be divided by 5
Advocard [28]

Answer:

1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve this question by Modular Airthmatic.

Let the lowest 4 digit number be X.

X= 1 (mod 5)

X =2 (mod 5)

X=3 (mod 5)

X =4 (mod 5)

X=1+5 t where t is any integer.

1+5 t=2 (mod 5)

5 t=1 (mod 5 )

5 is the Modular Inverse of modulo 5

t=1 (mod 5)

t =1+5 u : u= any integer.

X becomes 1+ 5 (1+5u )=6+25 u

6+25u =3 (mod 5)

25 u= -3 (mod 5)=2 (mod 5)

25 is Modular Inverse of Modulo 5

u=2 (mod 5)

u =2+5 v : v= any integer.

X becomes 6 +25 (2+5 v)=56+125 v .

56 +125 v=4 (mod 5)

125 v=-52 (mod 5)=3 (mod 5)

125 is Modular Inverse of modulo 5

v = 3 (mod 5)

v =3 +5 w where w is any integer.

For lowest 4 digit number, take

w=200

X=1003 : Lowest 4 digit number.

Take w=201

X=208 : Next number.

For 4 digit largest number, take

w=1995

X= 9978 : Largest number.

No. of Numbers =(1995 - 200 )+1=1800 □Ans.
