Assume a is not divisible by 10. (otherwise the problem is trivial). 
<span>Define R(m) to be the remainder of a^m when divided by 10. </span>
<span>R can take on one of 9 possible values, namely, 1,2,...,9. </span>
<span>Now, consider R(1),R(2),......R(10). At least 2 of them must have the sames value (by the Pigeonhole Principle), say R(i) = R(j) ( j>i ) </span>
<span>Then, a^j - a^i is divisible by 10.</span>

2.46875 in fractionform
Kaylis [27]
2.46875 in a fraction form would look like this:

2.46875 =
= 2 46875/100000 =
= 2 9375/20000 =
= 2 1875/4000 =
= 2 375/800 =
= 2 75/160 =
= 2 15/32

I just kept simplifying it by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5 until I got its simplest form.

You are traveling to Chicago for a job interview. You leave Toledo, Ohio, at 5:45 A.M. and arrive in Elkhart, Indiana, at 8:15 A
baherus [9]
The minimum speed will be calculated as follows:
Time taken from Toledo to Elkhart=(8.15-5.45)=2 1/2 hours
Distance=136 miles
thus the speed between Toledo and Elkhart= 136 miles/2.5=54.4 mph

Distance between Toledo and Chicago is 244 miles
Distance between Elkhart and Chicago=244-136=108 miles
time taken to travel between Elkhart and Chicago assuming that I left Elkhart at exactly 8:15 and reach at 10.30:
=10:30-8:15=2.25 hours
thus the speed will be:
speed=(108)/(2.25)=48 mph
Thus for us to get to Chicago by 10:30 a.m we should drive at 48 mph

Can someone answer and explain?
Snezhnost [94]
So you would need to find the area of a triangle using the height as 3.5 inches and the base as 4 inches. Once you find that, then multiply by 2 to get both of the triangles.

To get the rectangles you will do 9 x 4. Then multiply that answer by 3 to get the three rectangles.

To get the final answer you will add the sum of the triangles and the sum of the rectangles to get the answer.

Hope this helps!
