Joseph has 24 cousins he has 6 more females than males how many females does he have?

1 answer:

6 0

Given that Joseph has 24 cousins, and he has 6 more females than males, the number of females will be obtained as follows;
suppose he had x males, number of females will be x+6.
The total will be:
x+(x+6)=24
x+x+6=24
2x+6=24
2x=24-6
2x=18
x=18/2
x=9
thus the number of male cousins is 9, the number of female cousins will be 9+6=15
We therefore conclude that he has 9 male cousins and 15 female cousins

Situation:

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

5.5 days (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula:

$\sf N=N_0e^{-kt}$

$\sf N_0$ = initial mass (at time t=0)
N = mass (at time t)
k = a positive constant
t = time (in days)

Given values:

$\sf N_0$ = 11 g
k = 0.125

Half-life: The time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

To find the time it takes (in days) for the substance to reduce to half of its initial value, substitute the given values into the formula and set N to half of the initial mass, then solve for t:

$\begin{aligned}\sf N & = \sf N_0e^{-kt}\\\\\implies \sf \dfrac{11}{2} & = \sf 11e^{-0.125t}\\\\\sf \dfrac{1}{2} & = \sf e^{-0.125t}\\\\\sf \ln \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) & = \sf \ln e^{-0.125t\\\\\sf \ln \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) & = \sf -0.125t \ln e\\\\\sf \ln \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right) & = \sf -0.125t(1)\\\sf t & = \sf \dfrac{\ln \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}{-0.125}\\\\\sf t & = \sf 5.545177444...\\\\\sf t & = \sf 5.5\:\:days\:\:(nearest\:tenth)\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the substance's half-life is 5.5 days (nearest tenth).

Chantelle has 56 stickers. she will give all of the stickers to 8 friends. each friend will receive the same number of stickers.

Furkat [3]

Chantelle can use the following equation,

n = (Number of stickers) / (Number of friends)

or n = 56/8

Given Information

Chantelle has 56 stickers

⇒ Number of stickers = 56

She will distribute all of the stickers to 8 friends

⇒ Number of friends = 8

The number of stickers each friend will get = n

We have to form an equation for n.

Forming the Equation

Equation for the number of stickers to be given to each friend is as follows,

n = (Number of stickers) / (Number of friends)

n = 56/8

n = 7

Therefore, Chantelle needs to give 7 stickers to each of her 8 friends. And, the equation used to find this count, n is n = (Number of stickers) / (Number of friends) or n =56/8

73 is 20% of what number?

Tamiku [17]

20% = 73/x * 100%

20%/100% = 73/x 

0.20 = 73/x 

x = 73/0.20 

x = 365
