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.
1.5 x 32 = 48 12 divided 0.03 = 400 12.8 X 3/4 ( 0.75 ) = <span>17.0666667 1.5 x 0.32 = 0 .48 1.2 divided by 0.3 = 4 AND... 102.4 divided 3.2 = 32 Hope this helps! :)

Answer: Height = 20 inches
Width = 14 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The aquarium is rectangular. The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular box is expressed as
Volume = LWH
Where L,W and H represents the length, width and height of the box.
The aquarium holding African cichlids is 6 inches higher than it is wide. It means that
H = W + 6
Its length is 33 inches, and its volume is 9240 cubic inches. It means that
9240 = 33W(W + 6)
9240/33 = W(W + 6)
280 = W² + 6W
W² + 6W + (6/2)² = 280 + (6/2)²
(W + 3)² = 280 + 9 = 289
Taking square root of both sides, it becomes
W + 3 = √289 = 17
W = 17 - 3
W = 14
H = W + 6 = 14 + 6
H = 20
Answer:
It would be worth $5,040 after 7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 40% by 7 and get 280, then turn it into a percent, .280, finally multiply it by $18,000 to get $5,040
