Explain how the number of pieces in a whole relates to the size of each piece?

Bumek [7]3 years ago

Assuming the size of the whole remains constant, as you divide the whole into more pieces, each piece must be smaller. For example, when a whole is divided into four pieces vs nine pieces, 1/4 of the whole is larger than 1/9 of a whole.

twice the number of donuts was only 6 less than 24 times the number of cream puffs. 10 times the number of cream puffs was only
Karolina [17]

donuts and cream puffs were  45 & 4 respectively !

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , twice the number of donuts was only 6 less than 24 times the number of cream puffs. 10 times the number of cream puffs was only 5 less than the number of donuts   We need to find how many donuts and cream puffs were there . Let's find out:

Let number of donuts and cream puffs are x & y respectively ! So ,

  • twice the number of donuts was only 6 less than 24 times the number of cream puffs

According to this statement equation is :

⇒ 2x=24y-6

⇒ x=12y-3            ................(1)

  • 10 times the number of cream puffs was only 5 less than the number of donuts

According to this statement equation is :

⇒ 10y= x-5

⇒ x=10y+5               ................(2)

Equation (1) & (2) :

⇒ 12y-3=10y+5

⇒ 2y=8

⇒ y=4

Putting  y=4 in  x=12y-3  :

⇒ x = 12(4)-3

⇒ x = 45

Therefore , donuts and cream puffs were  45 & 4 respectively !

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (2,-9) and )1,-3)
nignag [31]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{slope =} 6}

We can calculate slope using the following formula:

slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Plug in the corresponding points:

slope = \frac{-9-(-3)}{2-1}

Simplify:

slope = \frac{-6}{1} = -6

Solve by completing the square<br><br> x^2-6x-16=0
Greeley [361]

Answer:

x = 8 or

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><em>Completing The Square</em><em>:</em></h2>

x² - 6x - 16 = 0

Here,

a = 1

b = -6

c = -16

Now,

x² - 6x + [6/2(1)]² - [6/2(1)]² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (6/2)² - (6/2)² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (3)² - (3)² - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 9 - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 25 = 0

(x - 3)² = 25

x - 3 = +-√25

x - 3 = +- 5

x = 3 +- 5

x = 3 + 5 or x = 3 - 5

<em><u>x = 8 or x = -2</u></em>

Hope it's helpful
