Raul has 56 bouncy balls. He puts three times as many balls into red bags as he puts into green gift bags. If he puts the same n

umber of balls into each bag,how many balls does he put into green bags?

If we divide 56 by 4 we get 14.  Why by4?  So that one number is 3 times the other So he had 14 balls that went into the green bags and 42 (56-14) that went into the red bags.  We could just answer the question and say 14 but I think they want to know how many in each green bag.
14 and 42 don't work because they are not the same number of balls.  What number is a common factor?  7 is,
We could have 2 green bags and split the 14 balls into 2 groups of 7 and with the remaining 42 - put them into 6 red bags of 7 each.
And so the answer to your question is:
7 ball in each bag  = 2 bags are green, and 6 bags are red
                                        14 balls              +    42 balls            = 56 bouncy balls

The total number of balls Raul puts into green bags is 14.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

To tackle this problem, first we need to define our unknowns:

  • The first unknown will be the number of balls Raul puts into each bag, we can call this <em>b</em>. It is to be noted that Raul puts the same number of balls into each bag, whether it's red or green<em>.</em>
  • The second and third unknown will be the number of red bags and green bags, we can call them <em>R</em> and <em>G</em>, respectively.

From the problem statement we can obtain 2 conditions:

  1. The total number of balls is 56. We can write this as (R+G) \cdot b = 56.
  2. The total number of balls in the red bags is 3 times as much as the total number of balls on the green bags. Since Raul puts the same number of balls into any bag, this means that there are 3 times as many red bags as green bags. We can write this as 3 \cdot G = R.

In order to solve for the total number of balls in the green bags, we can substitute the second condition into the first one. By doing so we obtain:

(R+G) \cdot b = (3 \cdot G + G) \cdot b = 4\cdot G \cdot b= 56

Simplifying we get that G \cdot b = 14, which is the total number of balls on green bags.

It is to be noted that on this problem, it's impossible to find how many balls are in each bag, and how many bags are there. Let's show why:

We got that the total number of balls on green bags is 14, and we also know that <em>b</em> and <em>R</em> are both integer numbers (they have to be integers, we can't put 2 balls and a half on each bag, and we can't have 3.5 green bags). This condition implies that either b=2 and R=7, or b=7 and R=2 (both solutions satisfy our problem). Ususally these kind of problems are known as <em>Integer programming problems.</em>

Given Information:

Standard deviation of height of children = σ = 4 inches

Required Information:

Using Excel find P(x > 34) = ?

Answer:

P(x > 34) = 95.99%

Explanation:

What is Normal Distribution?

We are given a Normal Distribution, which is a continuous probability distribution and is symmetrical around the mean. The shape of this distribution is like a bell curve and most of the data is clustered around the mean. The area under this bell shaped curve represents the probability.  

The Microsoft Excel has a built-in function "NORMDIST" which calculates the probability of a normal distribution.

Syntax:

NORMDIST(x, mean, standard deviation, cumulative flag)  

Where x is the variable of interest

Cumulative flag = TRUE or FALSE

The probability that a randomly chosen child is greater than 34 inches tall is given by

P(x > 34) = 1 - P(x < 34)

Using MS Excel,

P(x > 34) = 1 - NORM.DIST(34,41,4,TRUE)

Which return the probability of

P(x > 34) = 1 - 0.040059

P(x > 34) = 0.959941

P(x > 34) = 95.99%

Therefore, there is 95.99% probability that a randomly chosen child is greater than 34 inches tall.

Samual has an egg farm with a volume of 375 in.³ with the width of an ant farm is 2.5 inches and the length is 15 inches what is
omeli [17]

Answer:

The height is 10in

Step-by-step explanation:

If you need to calculate the volume, you need to know the formula. The formula is length x width x height. You have the length and width, so you need the height. 2.5in x 15in x 10in  = 375 in^3. You may ask why it is inches cubed instead of inches. It is inches cubed because you multiplied three inches together.

Find a number in the sequence<br><br> 1) 100, 400, 610, ?, 652<br><br> 2) 342, 128, ?, 26
dsp73

Answer:

1.  460

2.  216

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

From the series ,

100 , 400 , 610 , ? , 652

Writing the the digits in the revere order , i.e

001 , 004 , 016 , ? , 256

Now,

Now , getting the number in the form of the multiple of 4 as -

1  ,   1 * 4 = 4  ,   4 * 4 = 16 ,  ?  , 64 * 4 = 4  

Hence , the value for ?  =  16 * 4 =  64 .

Again , reversing 64 to get the missing number of the series -

460 .

Hence ,

The value for ? is 460 .

2.

From the series ,

342 , 128 , ? , 26

Now, multiplying the first digit with the second digit and merging it to the product of the second and third digit -

3 * 4 and  4 * 2 , 1 * 2 and 2 * 8 , ?

128 , 216 , ?

Hence ,

The value for question mark = 1 * 2 and  1 * 6 = 216

Hence ,

The value for ? is 216 .
