Answer:

Total Number of eggs in the basket = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

The n be number of eggs and n is  between 50 and 60.

So, the possible outcomes are 50, 51, 52, .... , 59 and 60.

If the eggs are counted in 5's, the left over eggs are 4.

Hence, the number of eggs is NOT COMPLETELY DIVISIBLE by 5

So, n ≠ 50, 55 and 60.

If the eggs are counted in 3's  the leftover eggs are  2.

Hence, the number of eggs is NOT COMPLETELY DIVISIBLE by 3

n ≠ 51, 54, 57 and 60.

Now,  the possible values of <u>n = 52, 53, 56, 58 and 59.</u>

Checking for 52, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 2(as 5 x 10=50)

Checking for 53, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 3(as 3 x 10=50)

Checking for 56, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 1

Checking for 58, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 3

Checking for 59, when counted in 5, left over eggs are 4 and when counted in 3, left over eggs are 2.

Hence, TOTAL NUMBER OF EGGS IN THE BASKET ARE 59 as it satisfies bot the given conditions.

Answer:

The number of eggs in the basket is 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Let The number of eggs in the basket = 3x + 5x

When Loza counts 3's , there are 2 eggs left over

I.e , 3 ( x - 2 )

And  When Loza counts 5's , there are 4 eggs left over

I.e 5 ( x - 4 )

∴ 3 x - 6 = 5 x - 20

Or, 20 - 6 = 5 x - 3 x

Or,  14 = 2 x

∴     x = 7

So, the number of eggs = 3 × 7 + 5 × 7

                                        = 21 + 35 = 56

Hence The number of eggs in the basket is 56   Answer

Answer:

2(n+1)+2

You start with two greens and two columns of two orange squares while adding two orange squares each time. So, the bolded part is the green squares that stay the same. The 2(n+1) represents the two orange columns that increase by one block on each side per image.

A pet owner has 5 cats. Each cat has 2 ears and 4 paws. Complete the double number line to show the numbers of ears and paws for
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

If there are 3 cats in the room, what is the ratio of ears to paws?  1 : 2

If there are 4 cats in the room, what is the ratio of paws to ears?  2 : 1

If all 5 cats are in the room, how many more paws are there than ears? the number of paws is twice as more than the number of ears, we have 10 more paws than ears.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see the double number line for this situation in the attached photo.

So as we can see in the double number line diagram, if there are 3 cats in the room we would have an ears to paws ratio of 6 : 12 , which simplified would be 1 : 2, meaning that for every ear there are 2 paws.

For the next question, if there are 4 cats in the room, the paws to ears ratio would be 16 : 8, simplified to 2 : 1, meaning that for every 2 paws there is 1 ear.

And for the last question, if all 5 cats are in the room, we have that the paws to ears ratio is 20 : 10, simplified again to 2 : 1, meaning the number of paws is twice as more than the number of ears, so in this case we have 10 more paws than ears.

Please I really need help with this question
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC and DEF are parallel lines. So, ∠ABE and ∠BED are co interior angles.

∠ABE + ∠BED = 180   {SUM OF CO INTERIOR ANGLE IS 180}

∠ABE+ 110.2 = 180

∠ABE = 180 - 110.2

∠ABE = 69.8

Now, ABC is straight line

∠ABE + ∠EBG + ∠CBG = 180

69.8 + ∠EBG + 34.8 = 180

104.6 + ∠EBG = 180

∠EBG = 180 - 104.6

∠EBG = 75.4

Again, DEF is straight line

∠DEB + ∠BEG + ∠GEF = 180

110.2 + ∠BEG + 25.6 = 180

∠BEG + 135.8 = 180

∠BEG = 180 - 135.8

∠BEG = 44.2

In triangle BEG,

∠BEG + x  + ∠EBG = 180  { sum of all angles of triangle is 180}

44.2 + x + 75.4 = 180

x + 119.6 = 180

x = 180 - 119.6

x = 60.4
