Laila tells Julius to pick a number between one and ten. “Add three to your number and multiply the sum by five,” she tells him.

Next she says, “Now take that number and subtract seven from it and tell me the new number.” “Twenty-three,” Julius exclaims. What was Julius’ original number? In the next round Leila is supposed to pick a number between 1 and 10 and follow the same instructions. She gives her final result as 108. Julius immediately replies: “Hey, you cheated!” What might he mean?

Julius’ original number was 3 & Laila cheated as accordingly number was 20 ! but she said 108 .

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

Let Julius pick number x , So we have following instructions as :

Add three to your number and multiply the sum by five

⇒ 5(x+3)

"Now take that number and subtract seven from it and tell me the new number.” “Twenty-three,”

⇒ 5(x+3)-7 = 23

⇒ (x+3)=6

⇒ x=3

So , Julius’ original number was 3 .

In the next round Leila is supposed to pick a number between 1 and 10 and follow the same instructions. She gives her final result as 108. i.e.

⇒ 5(x+3)-7 = 108

⇒ x+3 = 23

⇒ x=20

Therefore , Julius’ original number was 3 & Laila cheated as accordingly number was 20 ! but she said 108 .

Round the following percentages to one decimal place.0.698%53.123%0.075%34.337%3.876%
balandron [24]

To round off a given number in decimals to one decimal place (1 dp), we simply take the figure right after the decimal and approximate the remaining after it. If the second number after the decimal is a significant number (5 and above) we make it 1 and add to the number right after the decimal. If its NOT a significant number, we simply disregard it. The solutions therefore are;

ANSWER:

\begin{gathered} \text{Rounded to one decimal place;} \\ (1)0.698\%\approx0.7 \\ (2)53.123\%\approx53.1 \\ (3)0.075\%\approx0.1 \end{gathered}

Notice how the number in (1) becomes 0.7, after taking the next number (which is 9) and adding it as 1 to the number after the decimal (which is 6). The same applies to the number in (3).

\begin{gathered} (4)34.337\%\approx34.3 \\ (5)3.876\%\approx3.9 \end{gathered}

Solve five and three sixths minus two and one third.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

3 3/18

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/6-2 1/3

We first need to turn our mixed numbers into fractions by multiplying the while number by the denominator, then adding the numerator. When we do this, 5 3/6 turns into 33/6 and 2 1/3 turns into 7/3. Now we have this:

33/6-7/3

Now we need to find the Least common multiple of the denominators in order to find our common denominator, which in this case is 6. 33/6 already has a denominator of 6, so we do not need to do anything to it. To give a denominator of 6 to 7/3, however, we must multiply by 2, giving us this:

33/6-14/6

Now we can subtract the numerators.

19/6

To turn this back into a mixed number, we divide 19 by 6, which gives us 3 with a remainder of 1. Therefore, our answer is 3 1/6. This is an equivalent fraction to the fourth answer, 3 3/18.
