Hey there!!

Looking at the question, we know that there are two numbers.

  • Let's take the first number or the larger number as 'x'
  • Let's take the second number or the smaller number as 'y'.

As stated:

  1. The sum of two numbers, x and y is 24
  2. The difference of the greater and smaller number is 18.

Taking equations:

... x+y=24 --- (1)

... x-y=18 --- (2)

Now, let's add both the equations.

... 2x=42

... x=42/2

...x=21

<em>Hence, the larger number is 21. </em>

Based off this, we will know that the smaller number is 3

<em>Hence, the smaller number is 3</em>

<em>Hope my answer helps!</em>

The greater number is 21, this is correct since 21 + 3 is 24, and 21 - 3 is 18. Thus, it fulfills all necessary requirements

.MARY WAS TOLD TO RUN AROUND THE TRACK 5 TIMES BY HER COACH. ONCE AROUND THE TRACK IS 5/6 OF A MILE. MARY WAS ONLY ABLE TO RUN A
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

3.61 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of track = 5/6 of a mile

Number times Mary was able to run around the track = 4 1/3 times

Total miles ran by Mary :

(Equivalent mile of the track * number of times Mary ran around the track)

5/6 of a mile * 4 1/3 times

5/6 * 13/3

= 65 / 18

= 3.611111 miles

Hence, total Number of miles ran by Mary is 3.61 miles

How many radians does the minute hand of a clock rotate through over half an hour? How many degrees?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

So minute hand will rotate \pi radian in half an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In one hour minute hand of clock rotate about 360°

So in half an hour minute hand clock rotate \frac{360}{2}=180^{\circ}

We have to find how many minute hand rotate in radian

For conversion of degree to radian we have to multiply with \frac{\pi }{180}

So 180^{\circ}=180\times \frac{\pi}{180 }=\pi radian

So minute hand will rotate \pi radian in half an hour
