Remark
I'm going to answer this as a formula, but there are many answers that could be given to it. 

Formula
T = (first_place * a + second_place*b)

Where T is the turtle's score. 
First_place is the score for first place
Second_place is the score for second place
a is the number of students that voted for the turtle and gave it first place.
b is the number of students that voted for the turtle and gave it second place.

Step Two
What is the score that the pet needs to win?

The problem is how many first and second votes were cast by the class?
Class total = c*first + d*second. So the Turtle must get more than at  least an even distribution which would be
T > Class Total / P
P is the number of pets. T is what the total must exceed.

There is a further complication. What happens if 2 or 3 pets run away with voting and it becomes a three pet race? That, I think, goes beyond the scope of this question.

A nice riddle, mathematical riddle.

Assuming a turtle winning means the declared winner is the weaker one actually won over the stronger one.  In this context, the turtle winner is the one who has a lesser number of favourable votes.

The given rules for the points are as follows:
1. Point for the first choice must be greater than or equal to that of the second choice.
2. All points must be positive whole numbers.

Let's suppose we have Henry against Tim.
Henry is favourite of the voters and is the leading candidate, according to popular polls.
Tim is an excellent manipulator, sly, and everybody knows this.

On polling day, the vote count came out as follows (in point counts)

Henry      Tim
2              1
2              1
2              1
2              1
2              1
2              1
10            1  (Henry's own vote)
1          100  (Tim's own vote)
------------------
17        107  TOTAL POINTS

So Tim the turtle was declared winner of the race, and since everything was according to rule, even a recount of the votes did not change the results.

Be aware, voting by districts (instead of popular votes) also exhibits a similar problem.

Select the two binomials that are factors of this trinomial x^20 - x - 20
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

(x-5)(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor the equation, break it into two binomials which multiply to make the equation. To write these binomials (x+a)(x+b), find factors which multiply to -20 and add to -1 for a and b.

20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

-5+4 = -1

x^2-x-20 = (x-5)(x+4)

A landscape plan includes a rectangular flower bed that is surrounded the wood planks. In the drawing, the rectangular flower be
True [87]

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

length =8in

breadth =6in

since . The length and width of the actual flower bed will be 24 times larger than the length and width in the drawing.

new

length=8×24=192in

breadth =6×24=144in

(b) What is the perimeter of the actual flower bed ? Show your work.

<em>answer:the perimeter of the</em><em> </em><em>actual flower bed</em><em> =2(l+b)</em>

<em> =2(l+b)=2(192+144)=672</em><em>in</em>

(a) What is the perimeter of the drawing? Show your work

<em>answer</em><em> </em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>the perimeter of the </em><em>drawing</em>

<em>=</em><em>2</em><em>(</em><em>8</em><em>+</em><em>6</em><em>)</em><em>=</em><em>9</em><em>6</em><em>in</em>

<em>(c) What is the effect on the perimeter of the flower bed with the dimensions are multiplied by 24? Show your work</em>

<em>p</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>i</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em>t</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>flower </em><em>bed</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em>p</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>i</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em>t</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>d</em><em>r</em><em>a</em><em>w</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>g</em>

<em>=</em><em>9</em><em>6</em><em>/</em><em>6</em><em>7</em><em>2</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>7</em>

<h3><em>perimeter</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>drawing</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>increased</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>7</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>perimeter</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>flower</em><em> </em><em>bed</em></h3>
