I have a circular necklace with $18$ beads on it. All the beads are different. Making two cuts with a pair of scissors, I can di

vide the necklace into two strings of beads. If I want each string to have at least $6$ beads, how many different pairs of strings can I make?

Solution:

There are four general types we can make: (6,12),(7,11),(8,10),(9,9).

First type: (6,12), there are 18 possible ways to choose those 6, which are going to be cut from the necklace: choose a direction to count the beads, and choose a starting position (between 2 beads). There are exactly 18 starting positions, since there are 18 spaces between the beads. One cut is equivalent for a pair we can make.

Second type: (7,11), with the same reasoning, there are 18 possible ways to cut the necklace.

Third type: (8,10), with the same reasoning, there are 18 possible ways to cut the necklace.

Fourth type: (9,9), The same reasoning cannot be applied again, since half of the cuts would be exactly the same as the other half. So there are 9 possible cuts, exactly one or each axis of symmetry for the necklace.

The solution will be the sum these values: 18+18+18+9=63

. The temperature on Monday was −5∘C . By Tuesday the temperature rose to −2∘C. Find the change in temperature.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: 3^{\circ}C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The temperature on Monday was -5^{\circ}C

By Tuesday, it becomes -2^{\circ}C

Change in temperature is the difference between the two temperatures.

\Rightarrow \Delta T=-2-(-5)\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=-2+5\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=3^{\circ}C

Therefore, the change in temperature is 3^{\circ}C.

If the point P(x, y) partitions the segment AB in the ratio 1 : 1, then the point P is midpoint of segment AB.

The formula of a midpoint of segment:

A(x_A;\ y_A),\ B(x_B,\ y_B)\\\\P_{AB}\left(\dfrac{x_A+x_B}{2};\ \dfrac{y_A+y_B}{2}\right)

We have:

A(13,\ 1)\to x_A=13,\ y_A=1\\B(-5,\ -3)\to x_B=-5,\ y_B-3\\\\P\left(\dfrac{13+(-5)}{2};\ \dfrac{1+(-3)}{2}\right)\to P\left(\dfrac{8}{2};\ \dfrac{-2}{2}\right)\to P(4,\ -1)

Answer: C. (4, -1)

At a clearance sale,Jill got 70% off a silver bracelet.If she paid the cashier $27 ,what was the original price of the bracelet​
mart [117]

Answer:

$38.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a proportion.

\frac{27}{x} = \frac{70}{100}

Cross multiply.

27 times 100 = 2700

2700 divided by 70 = 38.57142857

Round the result to the hundredths place.

38.57142857 ≈ 38.57

**Hope this helps!
