Answer:

Least number of pennies is 840


Step-by-step explanation:

To get the least number of pennies, we need to figure out the LCM of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8.


We do prime factorization of each number and take each unique digit the most number of times it occurs in any one of them.


3 is 3

4 is 2*2

5 is 5

6 is 3*2

7 is 7

8 is 2*2*2


There are 2s, 3s, 5s, and 7s. Two occurs three times (highest) in 8, so we take 2 three times, 3,4,5,&7 all occur highest 1 time. So we take them one.


So LCM = 2*2*2*3*5*7 = 840

A rectangular lawn, 100 feet long by 50 feet wide, is to have two sidewalks installed that will cut the lawn in half both ways,
Damm [24]

Answer:

3.41 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = Length × Breath

Area of the rectangular lawn = 100 × 50

                                                = 5000 feet²

The sidewalk must occupy an area no more than 10% of the total lawn area.

So, the area of the sidewalk would be not more than  = 10% × 5000

                                                                                         = 0.10 × 5000

                                                                                        = 500 feet²

Let the width of the sidewalk = x feet

area of the side walk = (L×W of the long way) + ((L-x)×W of the short way)

(100 × x) + ((50 - x) × x) < 500

100x + (50-x)(x) < 500

-x²  + 150x < 500

-x² + 150x = 500

-x² + 150x - 500 = 0

By using quadratic formula

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

x=\frac{(-150)\pm\sqrt{(150)^2-4(-1)(-500)} }{2(-1)}

x=\frac{-150\pm \sqrt{20500} }{-2}

x=75-5\sqrt{205} or x=75+5\sqrt{205}

x = 3.41089 ≈ 3.41 feet  or  x = 146.58

Therefore, width of the sidewalk would be 3.41 feet.

. If IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 5, what is the probability that a person
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

2.28% probability that a person selected at random will have an IQ of 110 or greater

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 100, \sigma = 5

What is the probability that a person selected at random will have an IQ of 110 or greater?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 110. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{110 - 100}{5}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

2.28% probability that a person selected at random will have an IQ of 110 or greater

39 POINTS!! I NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!! 2 QUESTIONS!!!!!
dangina [55]

Answer: 1) A = 28ft^{2}

2) 55 points

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A= 8w + 18, w=1.25

A = 8(1.25) + 18

A = 10 + 18

A = 28ft^2

2) 25 points to start with, additional 5 points per magazine they sell, m = number of magazines they sell

total points = 25 + 5m

How many if they sell 6?

total = 25 + 5(6)

= 25 + 30

total = 55

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:
