<span>Let x = 0.5333333333 ...

So 100x = 53.3333333333 ...
and 10x = 5.3333333333 ...
---------------------------------
90x = 53 – 5 = 48.

So x = 48/90 = 8/15 after reduction to lowest terms (by factor of 6)
0.3333... = ⅓. and that 0.5 = ½.

So 0.533333... = 0.5 + 0.0333333...0.5 + 0.3333.../10 = 1/2 + (1/3)/10 = 1/2 + 1/30 = 16/30 = 8/15</span>

765ab4 is divisible by 36. Compute all ordered pairs (a, b) for which this is possible

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

All the ordered pairs (a,b) are

(0,5), (2,3), (4,1), (6,8), and (8,6).

Step-by-step explanation:

765ab4 to be divisible by 36, it must be divisible by both 9 and 4.

For any number to be divisible by 4, the last two digits of the number must be divisible by 4.

Here, the last two digits are b4, so as the number b4 is divisible by 4, b can be 0,2,4,6, and 8.

For any number to be divisible by 9, the sum of all the digit of the number must be divisible by 9.

Here, the sum of all the digits, S= 7+6+5+a+b+4=22+a+b.

Now, we have b={0,2,4,6, 8}

For b=0,

S=22+a+0=22+a which is a multiple of 9.

So, the possible value of the digit a :

a=5

So, (a,b)=(0,5)

For b=2,

S=22+a+2=24+a which is a multiple of 9.

So, the possible value of the digit a :

a=3

So, (a,b)=(2,3)

For b=4,

S=22+a+4=26+a which is a multiple of 9.

So, the possible value of the digit a :

a=1

So, (a,b)=(4,1)

For b=6,

S=22+a+6=28+a which is a multiple of 9.

So, the possible value of the digit a :

a=8

So, (a,b)=(6,8)

For b=8,

S=22+a+8=30+a which is a multiple of 9.

So, the possible value of the digit a :

a=6

So, (a,b)=(8,6)

Hence, all the ordered pairs (a,b) are

(0,5), (2,3), (4,1), (6,8), and (8,6).

If 111 people attend a concert and tickets for adults cost $4 while tickets for children cost $3.25 and total receipts for the c

VikaD [51]

Answer:

57 children

54 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x the number of children admitted and call z the number of adults admitted.

Then we know that:

$x + z = 111$

We also know that:

$3.25x + 4z = 401.25$

We want to find the value of x and z. Then we solve the system of equations:

-Multiplay the first equation by -4 and add it to the second equation:

$-4x - 4z = -444$

$3.25x + 4z = 401.25$

----------------------------------

$-0.75x = -42.75$

$x =\frac{-42.75}{-0.75}\\\\x=57$

Now we substitute the value of x in the first equation and solve for the variable z

$57 + z = 111$

$z = 111-57$

$z = 54$
