108 identical books have a mass of 30 kg. Find

Mathematics
1 answer:
julia-pushkina [17]4 years ago

Answer:

The mass of 150 books = 41.7kg

The number of books that have mass 20kg = 72 books

Step-by-step explanation:

(I) Number of identical books = 108

Mass of  books = 30 kg

Mass of 150 books = ?

Let the mass of 150 books = x kg

To find the mass of 150 books we will use ratio and proportion:

108 books: 30kg = 150 books: x kg

You can also write it like this because ratio can be written in division:

108/30 = 150/x

By cross multiplication:

108x = 150*30

108 x= 4500

Divide both sides by 108

108 x/108 = 4500/108

x= 41.7

Thus the mass of 150 books = 41.7kg

( ii ) The number of books that have a mass of 20 kg = ?

Let assume that the number of books of mass 20 kg = y books

We will again use ratio and proportion method.

108 books: 30kg = y: 20kg

We can write it as:

108/30 = y/20

By cross multiplication:

108 *20 = 30y

2160= 30y

Divide both the terms by 30

2160/30 = 30y/30

72 = y

Therefore the number of books that have mass 20kg = 72 books ....

What are the factors of 2x^2 + 5x -12?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

(2x - 3) • (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Equation at  step  1  :

 (2x2 +  5x) -  12

Step  2  :

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     Factoring  2x2+5x-12  

The first term is,  2x2  its coefficient is  2 .

The middle term is,  +5x  its coefficient is  5 .

The last term, "the constant", is  -12  

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   2 • -12 = -24  

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -24  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   5 .

-24    +    1    =    -23  

     -12    +    2    =    -10  

     -8    +    3    =    -5  

     -6    +    4    =    -2  

     -4    +    6    =    2  

     -3    +    8    =    5

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -3  and  8  

                    2x2 - 3x + 8x - 12

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                   x • (2x-3)

             Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                   4 • (2x-3)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                   (x+4)  •  (2x-3)

            Which is the desired factorization
