Genghis Khan organized his men into groups of 10 soldiers under a "leader of 10." Ten "leaders of 10" were under a "leader of 10

0." Ten "leaders of 100" were under a "leader of 1000." *(a) If Khan had an army of 10,000 soldiers at the lowest level, how many men in total were under him in his organization? (b) If Khan had an army of 5763 soldiers at the lowest level, how many men in total were under him in his organization? Assume that the groups of 10 should contain 10 if possible, but that one group at each level may need to contain fewer.

Answer:

(a) 11110 soldiers

(b) 6404 soldiers

Step-by-step explanation:

Following that logic you can express the men of any level of his organization as 10^n, where n is the level. Some examples:

Level 1: 10^1 = 10

Level 2: 10^2 = 100 Each of the 10 men in level 1 are in charge of 10 men in the level 2 (10 * 10 = 100)

(a) if the lowerst level of the organization has 10,000 soldiers, then the lowest level is:

10^n = 10,000

n = 4

The total number of men under him is:

10^4+10^3+10^2+10^1 = 11110 (Assuming that he is the leader of the first 10 leaders)

(b) In this case the lowest level has 5763, you have a 1 leader for every 10 soldiers, then the leaders needed for the lowest level is:

5763/ 10 = 576.3 = 577 leaders

These 577 leaders also have their own leaders for every 10:

577/10 = 57.7 = 58 leaders

And these also have their own leaders:

58 / 10 = 5.8 = 6

And again We assume these 6 are directly under Genghis Khan

Total soldiers:

5763 + 577 + 58 + 6 = 6404 soldiers

9 oranges cost $3.60. How much are 4 oranges?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

      $1.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation where you have the total oranges (o) on top and the cost (c) on the bottom. So you will have two fractions equaling each other. So you will have o/c=o/c. Now you just have to replace the variables with what you know. 9 oranges= $3.60, and you want to know how much 4 oranges cost. Since the cost per orange is the same, no matter how many oranges you buy if you divide the amount of oranges by the price you will always get the same number. So replace the variables with the numbers you know and you get,

9/$3.60=4/c

Now to solve an equal fraction problem, simply cross multiply (multiply the two numbers diagonal so 4 and 3.6), and divide (take the multiplied number and divide by the number remaining which will be the number diagonal from the variable) which gives you $1.60 for four oranges.
