Jessica’s mistake is that when isolating h from b, she multiplied b instead of dividing it on both sides. The new formula for h would be A/2b=h.
Now let’s solve. 23/2(6)=h
23/12
Approx. 1.91
Since Katie entered the number 15 and it displayed 9 the machine in this case is doing whatever number you put in -6 so it displayed 9 again when 23 is entered 23-6 = 17 and that is what displayed and again for 100 and 94 so the machine is taking 6 off each time.
A, The machine is taking 6 off each time.
if you enter 77 and 6 was taken off it would be 71 so 71
B, 71
X + 34 = 98 x=65
that is the answer
First work out (5/2)³ by cubing both the numerator and denominator to give: 125/8
then work out (3/4)² by squaring both the numerator and denominator to give: 9/16
then divide 125/8 by 9/16
using the stay-change-flip method of division:
the first term stays the same, the divide becomes multiply and the second fraction is flipped upside down.
so:
125/8 x 16/9 =2000/72
then just divide 2000 by 72 to give: 27.78 to 2 d.p
therefore the greatest whole number than 27.78 is 27.
