Answer: The loser's card shows 6.
Explanation: Let's start by naming the first student A and the second student B.
Since the product of A and B are either 12, 15, or 18, let's list every single possibility, the first number being A's number and the second number being B's number.
1 12
1 15
1 18
2 6
2 9
3 4
3 5
3 6
4 3
5 3
6 2
6 3
9 2
12 1
15 1
18 1
Now, the information says that A doesn't know what B has, so we can immediately cross off all of the combinations that have the integer appearing once and once ONLY off, because if it happened once only, A would know of it straight away. Now, our sample space becomes much smaller.
1 12
1 15
1 18
2 6
2 9
3 4
3 5
3 6
6 2
6 3
Using this same logic, we know that we can cross off all of the digits that occur only once in B's column.
2 6
3 6
Now, A definitely knows what number B has because there is only one number left in B. Hence, we can conclude that the loser, B, has the integer 6.
Your multiplying by -4 each time
-1x-4=4
4x-4=-16
-16x-4=64
Your initial instinct would be to solve this problem with this solution. 34 x 57 = 1,938 petals.
However, the word estimate is present; therefore, we have to consider that we need to get the approximate number and not the exact number of petals.
There is a general rule regarding estimation or approximation. You have to round it to the nearest place you have based on. In this problem we round it off to the nearest tens place.
If the number is below 5, you round it down: 34 is rounded down to 30 petals.
If the number is above 5, you round it up: 57 is rounded up to 60 sunflowers.
Thus, your equation would be : 30 x 60 = 1,800 petals (best estimate)
Answer: On the 29th day
Step-by-step explanation:
According to this problem, no lilypad dies and the lilypads always reproduce, so we can apply the following reasoning.
On the first day there is only 1 lilypad in the pond. On the second day, the lilypad from the first reproduces, so there are 2 lilypads. On day 3, the 2 lilypads from the second day reproduce, so there are 2×2=4 lilypads. Similarly, on day 4 there are 8 lilypads. Following this pattern, on day 30 there are 2×N lilypads, where N is the number of lilypads on day 29.
The pond is full on the 30th day, when there are 2×N lilypads, so it is half-full when it has N lilypads, that is, on the 29th day. Actually, there are 
lilypads on the 30th, and 
lilypads on the 29th. This can be deduced multiplying succesively by 2.
Answer: 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
4/9 and 11/18
<u>Solve:</u>
<em>STEP ONE: Make the denominators equal by determining the LCM</em>
LCM = Least Common Multiple
First Five multiples of 9 = 9, 18, 27, 36, 45
First FIve multiples of 18 = 18, 36, 54, 72, 90
As we can see from the list above, both 18 and 36 overlap, however, 18 is less than 36. Therefore, 18 is the LCM.
<em>STEP TWO: Compare the size and determine the greater one.</em>
4/9 = (4 × 2) / (9 × 2) = 8/18
11/18 = 11/18
Since 11 > 8, therefore, 11/18 is greater than 8/18
<em>STEP THREE: Find the difference between the two fractions.</em>
11/18 - 4/9
=11/18 - 8/18
=(11 - 8) / 18
= 3 / 18
= 1/6
