Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You should know that quotient is the result of division.

n/2

Four less than that would be subtracting.

(n/2) - 4 = 9

A bee flies at 15 ft./s directly into a flower bed from a time the beast stays at the flower bed for 12 minutes and then flies d

Zinaida [17]

A) The equation that we need to solve is:

(12ft/s)*(- d/(15ft/s) + 300s) = d

B) The distance to the hive is d = 2000ft.

<h3 /><h3>What equation can you use to find the distance of the flower bed from the hive?</h3>

We know that the bee's speed is 15 ft/s from the hive to the flower bed.

Then stays 12 minutes at the flower bed.

Then returns to the hive with a speed of 12ft/s.

The total time of the journey is 17 minutes, discounting the 12 minutes that the bee was in the flower bed, the travel only took 5 minutes.

Now, if the distance between the hive and the flower bed is d, t₁ as the time that the bee needs to go from the hive to the flower bed, and t₂ as the time in which the bee goes from the flower bed to the hive, we can write the system of equations:

t₂ + t₁ = 5min

(15ft/s)*t₁ = d

(12ft/s)*t₂ = d

With that system of equations, we can find the value of d, which is what we want to get.

Isolating t₂ in the first equation we get:

t₂ = - t₁ + 5min

Now we can replace that in the third equation:

(15ft/s)*t₁ = d

(12ft/s)*(- t₁ + 5min) = d

In the first equation we can isolate t₁:

t₁ = d/(15ft/s)

And replace that in the remaining equation:

(12ft/s)*(- d/(15ft/s) + 5min) = d

5 min = 5*60s = 300s

(12ft/s)*(- d/(15ft/s) + 300s) = d

This is the equation we need to solve to find the value of d.

-(12/15)*d + 3600ft = d

3600ft = d + (12/15)*d = (1 + 12/15)*d = (27/15)*d

(15/27)*3600ft = d = 2000 ft

We conclude that the distance to the hive is 2000ft.

A stack of logs has 32 logs on the bottom layer. Each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs than the previous layer. If the top laye

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: The total number of logs in the pile is 6.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a stack of logs has 32 logs on the bottom layer. Each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs than the previous layer and the top layer has two logs.

We are to find the total number of logs in the pile.

Let n represents the total number of logs in the pile.

Since each subsequent layer has 6 fewer logs then the previous layer, so the number of logs in each layer will become an ARITHMETIC sequence with

first term, a = 32 and common difference, d = -6.

We know that

the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a and common difference d is

$a_n=a+(n-10)d.$

Since there are n logs in the pile, so we get

$a+(n-1)d=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32+(n-1)(-6)=2\\\\\Rightarrow 32-6n+6=2\\\\\Rightarrow 6n=36\\\\\Rightarrow n=6.$

Thus, the total number of logs in the pile is 6.
