Origins of mathematics

Mathematics

The evolution of mathematics might be seen as an ever-increasing series of abstractions, or alternatively an expansion of subject matter. The first abstraction, which is shared by many animals, was probably that of numbers: the realization that a collection of two apples and a collection of two oranges (for example) have something in common, namely quantity of their members.
<span>In addition to recognizing how to count </span>physical<span> objects, prehistoric peoples also recognized how to count </span>abstract<span> quantities, like time - days, seasons, years.Elementary arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) naturally followed.</span>

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

74676.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets try multiplying 127 by 294 ( 127 is a prime number):

127 * 294 = 37338.

37338 / 196 = 190.5

37338 * 2 = 74676  which will now be divisible by 196.

74676 will be divisible by 98, 49 and 7 (because they are factors of  196).

It is also divisible by 84 ( to give 889) and therefore by 42, 28, 21, 14, 12,  6, 4, 3 , 2 and 1 which are all factors of 84.

Can anyone help me on this problem? Please it doesn’t make sense to me...
Sav [38]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost per item is found by dividing the cost by the number of items. If the woman bought n items for $120, the cost of each item is $120/n. If the woman bought 24 more items, n+24, at the same price, then the cost per item is $120/(n+24). The problem statement tells us this last cost is $16 less than the first cost:

120/(n+24) = (120/n) -16

Multiplying by n(n+24) gives ...

120n = 120(n+24) -16(n)(n+24)

0 = 120·24 -16n^2 -16·24n . . . . . . subtract 120n and collect terms

n^2 +24n -180 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -16 to make the numbers smaller

(n +30)(n -6) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor the quadratic

The solutions to this are the values of n that make the factors zero: n = -30, n = 6. The negative value of n has no meaning in this context, so n=6 is the solution to the equation.

The woman bought 6 items.

_____

Check

When the woman bought 6 items for $120, she paid $120/6 = $20 for each of them. If she bought 6+24 = 30 items for the same money, she would pay $120/30 = $4 for each item. That amount, $4, is $16 less than the $20 she paid for each item.
