5 0

Answer: 137 letters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data is:

The number has 4 digits.

The number is a multiple of 5

The number is a multiple of 7

The last digit is a 0.

Then, let's find all the possible numbers that met these conditions.

Our number can be formed with 4 digits, A, B, C and D.

D is the last one, so we have  D = 0.

So the number is: ABC0

We know that all the numbers that end with 0 are multiples of 5, so that condition does not matter.

Now, a number is divisible by 7 if:

Take the last digit of the number, double it and subtract it to the remaining number, if the result is multiple of 7, then the initial number is a multiple of 7.

In this case the last digit is 0, so when we double it and subtract it, we actually are not changing the other 3 digits.

Then we have that:

ABC must be a multiple of 7.

So now our problem reduces to find the number of 3-digit numbers that are multiples of 7.

The first multiple of 7 that has 3 digits is:

7*15 = 105.

And the largest possible 3 digit number is 999, now let's try to divide it by 7 to see if this is also a multiple of 7.

999/7 = 142.7

the quotient is not integer, so 999 is not a multiple of 7.

The next option is 998, we can do the same here:

998/7 = 142.6

And so on, we will find that the largest 3 digit multiple of 7 is:

994, such that:

7*152=994.

Then we have:

Smallest: 7*15 = 105

Largest: 7*152 = 994.

Then the number of multiples of 7 between 999 and 100 will be equal to the difference between the quotients between the multples and 7.

105/7 = 15

994/7 = 152

152 - 15 =  137

So we have 137 multiples of 7 with 3 digits.

Then we have 137 4-digit numbers, that end with a zero and also are divisible by 5 and 7.

So John must send 137 letters if he wants to be shure that Peter will get the card.

A basketball player shoots a basketball that reaches a height above 15 feet before landing back on the ground exactly after 7 se
Papessa [141]

Answer:

I and IV

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the height of the basketball reaches above 15 feet, hence the maximum of the function should be greater than 15 feet. Also at 7 seconds, the ball is on the ground, hence f(7) = 0 feet

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a

i) f(x) = -(x-3)² + 16 = -(x² - 6x + 9) + 16 = -x² + 6x + 7

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a = -6 / 2(-1) = 3

f(3) = -(3-3)² + 16 = 16 > 15

Also f(7) = - (7 - 3)² + 16 = 0

Hence this option is correct

ii) f(x) = -x² + 8x - 7

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a = -8 / 2(-1) = 4

f(4) = -4² + 8(4) - 7 = 9 < 15   not correct

Also f(7) = - 7² + 8(7) - 7 = 0

Hence this option is not correct since the maximum f(4) = 9 < 15  

iii)  f(x) = -(x-3)² + 14 = -(x² - 6x + 9) + 14 = -x² + 6x + 5

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a = -6 / 2(-1) = 3

f(3) = -(3-3)² + 14 = 14 < 15

Also f(7) = - (7 - 3)² + 14 = -2

Hence this option is not correct since the maximum f(4) = 9 < 15 and f(7) ≠ 0

iv)f(x)  = -x² + 6x + 7

The maximum of a function is at x = -b/2a = -6 / 2(-1) = 3

f(3) = -(3)² + 6(3) + 7 = 16 > 15

Also f(7) = - (7)² + 6(7) + 7 = 0

Hence this option is correct

Aliun [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  60

Step-by-step explanation:

Gavin has 20/4 = 5 times as many sweets as his corresponding number of ratio units. The total number of ratio units is 4+5+3 = 12, so the total number of sweets is 5×12 = 60.

There are 60 sweets altogether.

_____

They are divided as ...

  • Gavin: 20
  • Colin: 25
  • Dan: 15
