Kyra has a rock collection. When she puts her rocks into 2 equal plies, there are no rocks left over. When she puts her rocks in

Nat2105 [25]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this description we need a number that can be divided by 2,3 and 4 since the amount of rocks can be described by a natural number. However if a number is divided by 4 it is divided by 2 as well since 2*2=4.

$\frac{x}{4} = \alpha \\ \frac{x}{2} = 2 \alpha$

If α is a natural number then 2*α is a natural number as well as the product of two natural numbers.

Which means that we need a number devided by 3 and 4.

The smallest number that fulfills this demand is 3*4=12.

Also any product of 12 with any natural number can be devided by 3, 4 and 2.

If the exercise asks for the numbers that are divided only by 2,3 and 4 these are:

${3}^{ \alpha } \times 12 \: and \: {4}^{ \alpha } \times 12 \: \\ where \: \alpha \: belongs \: to \: the \: set \: of \: all \: \\ natural \: numbers$

The scale is evenly balanced. Explain how to find the weight (w) of one turtle.

Tomtit [17]

Answer: 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as an equation with a variable for turtles. Count up the other side of the scale (without turtles). Add up the three 1s and the 4 to get 7. Then add up all four 7s. This will get you with an equation 3t+4=28.

To solve this, first subtract 4 from both sides to get 3t=24. Now divide both sides by 3. 24/3=8. Each turtle weighs 8 units.
