The product of two consecutive odd integers is 195.

Mathematics
1 answer:
rodikova [14]3 years ago

You need the odd integers to be separated by 2. One will not work.

If n is odd, n + 1 will be even. You cannot get an exception to that. Try it.

1 is odd but 1 + 1 is even.

n and n + 3 produces 1 odd and 1 even. If n is odd then since 3 is odd when the two are added together, you get an even.  Again try it

n = 5

n + 3 = 8

C: is not the answer.

D can't work either. If n is odd then n + 2 will be odd but n + 1 is even.

The Answer is B.

n(n + 2) = 195

n^2 + 2n - 195 = 0

(n - 13)(n + 15)

n can be 13 and n + 2 can be 15

13 * 15 = 195

But here's something you may not know

n can be - 15 and then the other odd number would be - 13

The following frequency table summarizes last week's bed sales at Cloud Nine Furniture.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Option A. 0.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Observations from the given frequency table are :

Total number of beds sold at Cloud Nine Furniture = 3 + 6 + 4 + 2

                                                                                     = 15

Number of twin beds sold = 3

Then, probability that the next bed sold will be a twin bed,

P=\frac{\text{favorable outcome}}{\text{total number of possible outcomes}}

  =\frac{3}{15}

  = 0.20

Therefore, the probability that the next bed sold is a twin bed will be 0.20 or 20%.

Option A. is the correct answer.

It takes 12 hours for a single hose to fill a large vat. When a second hose is added, the vat can be filled in 4 hours. How many
aksik [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

6 hours

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The two hoses together take 1/3 the time (4/12 = 1/3), so the two hoses together are equivalent to 3 of the first hose.

That is, the second hose is equivalent to 2 of the first hose. Two of the first hose could fill the vat in half the time one of them can, so 6 hours.

The second hose alone can fill the vat in 6 hours.

_____

The first hose's rate of doing work is ...

... (1 vat)/(12 hours) = (1/12) vat/hour

If h is the second hose's rate of doing work, then working together their rate is ...

... (1/12 vat/hour) + h = (1/4 vat/hour)

... h = (1/4 - 1/12) vat/hour = (3/12 -1/12) vat/hour = 2/12 vat/hour

... h = 1/6 vat/hour

so will take 6 hours to fill 1 vat.

Find the side lengths ! help pls
sergeinik [125]

(a) the given triangle is a isosceles triangle, therefore the two leg sides will be congruent, as well as the two base angles. It is given that one of the base angles ∠XYW is 70°, therefore, due to the law of a isosceles triangle, the measurement of ∠XWY is also 70°. Remember, a triangle's interior angles add up to 180°, so:

180 - (70 + 70) = 180 - 140 = 40

40° is your answer.

m∠X = 40°

(b) All sides are congruent, making it a equilateral triangle. If it is a equilateral triangle, then all the angles also have the same measurement. The total of the interior angle's measurement is 180°. Divide by the amount of angles, 3:

180/3 = 60

60° is your answer.

m∠V = 60°
