Answer:

Maria's string is 45 cm long and Katy's string is 39 cm long

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the size of Maria's string X, and the size of Katy's string Y.

So, using the information from the problem, we can formulate a system of equations:

If Maria's string is 6 cm longer than Katy's, so:

X = Y + 6

If the strings together have 84 cm, so:

X + Y = 84

The first equation can be rewritten as X - Y = 6

Summing up both equation, we have that:

2X = 90

X = 45

Using X value in the first equation, we have that:

45 = Y + 6

Y = 39

So, Maria's string is 45 cm long and Katy's string is 39 cm long

Two trains are traveling towards each other at a constant speed. The trains are currently 714 miles from each other. The speeds
shutvik [7]
55mph.

you can solve it using the equation distance=speed x time

your total distance is 714, and you have 2 trains, one traveling some speed, x, and one traveling x+8, both traveling for 7 hours. 
your equation would look like this
714 = x(7) + (x+8)(7)
and you can then solve for x, which would be 47. this is the speed of the slower train, but 47+8=55 with give you the speed of the faster train.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable that you are looking for should be the simplified version of the number on the left.

That is where the 2 would come in. Both numbers should be divided by 4 to gat the answer.

8÷4 = 2

What is the number nearest to 10000 which is exactly divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8?.
Tems11 [23]

10080 is the number nearest to 10000 that is divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

Divisibility is being able to divide a number evenly and result to a whole number. Divisibility rules are set of rules to test if one number is divisible by another without doing much computation.

#1: divisibility by 2

A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even.

# 2: divisibility by 3:

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

# 3: divisibility by 4

A number is divisible by 4 if the number represented by its last two digits is divisible by 4.

#4: divisibility by 5

A number is divisible by 5 if its last digit is 0 or 5.

# 5: divisibility by 6

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

# 6: divisibility by 7

Double the last digit and subtract it from a number made by the other digits. The result must be divisible by 7.

#7: divisibility by 8

A number is divisible by 8 if the number represented by its last three digits is divisible by 8.

#8: divisibility by 9

A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

# 9: divisibility by 10

A number is divisible by 10 if its last digit or the digit in the ones place is 0.

To get the number nearest to 10000 that is divisible by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, consider first the numbers that are divisible by 5(numbers ending in 5 or 0) and narrow it down to numbers ending in 0 since numbers ending in 5 is not divisible by 2, thus making it indivisible by 6.

The process goes on by narrowing the list by checking its divisibility by 3, 4, 7 and 8.
