N=0 is the answer for this problem
Answer:
It takes 147 hours for the snow to reach 62 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of the snow at the beginning = 84 inches
Rate at which the snow melts = f 0.15 inches per hour
To Find:
The time taken for the snow to reach 62 inches = ?
Solution:
Let the time taken to reach 62 inches be x
Then according to the question,
Total height of the snow - (rate of melting)(x) = 62 inches
On substituting the values,
84 - (0.15)(x) = 62
84 - 0.15x = 62
- 0.15x = 62 - 84
- 0.15x = -22
0.15x = 22
x = \frac{22}{0.15}
x= 146.6
x = 147
I LOVE THIS PUZZLE
so,
the solution is
take 10 coins off to the side
flip those 10 over
done
sounds too simple?
this can be solved with algebra for ANY number of coins
lets say we have 50 coins, all tails
we flip h coins head
if h=x+y
if we seperate h coins off, we get x heads, and y tails
and in the other pile, we have y heads and the rest of the tails
so now, if we flip all the coins, we get y heads in the pile and x tails
solution:
seperate 10 coins and flip all 10 of them over
