Answer:
23 marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of children = 10
Number of marbles = 180
Since Betsy gets the most and no 2 children gets the same number of marbles
The least number of marbles Betsy could get will be x ; with the other 9 children receiving 1 less each
That is :
Betsy = x
9th child = x - 1
8th child = x - 2,... 1st child = x - 9
Hence,
(x + x - 1 + x - 2 + x - 3 + x - 4 + x - 5 + x - 6 + x - 7 + x - 8 + x - 9) = 180
10x - 45 = 180
10x = 180 + 45
x = 225 / 10
x = 22.5
x = 23
Hence, the least Betsy could get is 23 marbles

Answer:
a. 0.6 h
b. 1.3 h
c. C -- No
d. 4.2 mi/h
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The relationship between time (t), speed (s), and distance (d) is ...
t = d/s
The time spent running 4 miles at 7 miles per hour is ...
t = (4 mi)/(7 mi/h) = (4/7) h ≈ 0.6 h
__
b. The time spent walking home is ...
t = (4 mi)/(3 mi/h) = 4/3 h ≈ 1.3 h
__
c. C -- No, less time is spent at 7 mi/h
__
d. The average speed is ...
s = d/t = (4 mi +4 mi)/(4/7 h +4/3 h) = (8 mi)/(40/21 h) = 4.2 mi/h
Answer :
- Total number of people in the room = 18
- Number of people with red hair = 2
- Number of people not with red hair = 18 - 2 = 16
- Probability of picking a person who doesn't have red hair =
Probability = 16/18
Reduce the fraction with 2
Probability = 8/9

Answer: 6.93</h3>
Work Shown:
Use the pythagorean theorem to find x
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 11^2 = 13^2
x^2 + 121 = 169
x^2 = 169 - 121
x^2 = 48
x = sqrt(48)
x = 6.92820323027551
x = 6.93
