1500 soldiers arrive at a training camp. A few soldiers desert the camp. The drill sergeants divide the remaining soldiers into

groups of five and discover that there is one left over. When they divide them into groups of seven, there are three left over. When they divide them into groups of eleven, there are again three left over. Determine the number of deserters.

Answer:

The number of deserters is 34.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the number of desertors in a group of 1500 soldiers.

The sergeant divides in groups of different numbers and count the lefts over.

If he divide in groups of 5, he has on left over. The amount of soldiers grouped has to end in 5 or 0, so the total amount of soldiers has to end in 1 or 6.

If he divide in groups of 7, there are three left over. If we take 3, the number of soldiers gruoped in 7 has to end in 8 or 3. The only numbers bigger than 1400 that end in 8 or 3 and have 7 as common divider are 1428 and 1463.

If we add the 3 soldiers left over, we have 1431 and 1466 as the only possible amount of soldiers applying to the two conditions stated until now.

If he divide in groups of 11, there are three left over. We can test with the 2 numbers we stay:

(1431-3)/11=1428/11=129.82\\\\(1466-3)/11=1463/11=133

As only 1466 gives a possible result (no decimals), this is the amount of soldiers left.

The deserters are 34:

D=1500-1466=34

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The absolute change in the height of the water is 9.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

l =24in --- length

w = 15in --- width

h =12in --- height

V_1 = 900in^3 --- the volume removed

Required

The absolute change in the height of the water

First, calculate the base area (b):

b = l * w

b =24in * 15in

b =360in^2

The height of the water that was removed is:

<em />H = \frac{V_1}{b}<em> i.e. the volume of the water removed divided by the base area</em>

H = \frac{900in^3}{360in^2}

H = \frac{900in}{360}

H = 2.5in

The absolute change in height is:

\triangle H = |h - H|

\triangle H = |12in - 2.5in|

\triangle H = |9.5in|

\triangle H = 9.5in

Fabio and Gwen are saving money to buy a new gaming station. They need at least $510 to purchase the new gaming station. Gwen we
Phoenix [80]

<u>Answer-</u>

Set of constraints to model the problem are,

12x+9y\geq 510

y \leq 2x

y \geq 25

<u>Solution-</u>

<em>x = the number of lawns weeded by Gwen,</em>

<em>y = the number of dogs walked by Fabio.</em>

1.

As, Gwen charges $12 each time she weeds a yard and Fabio charges $9 each time he walks a dog,

\text{Earnings of Gwen} = 12x

\text{Earnings of Fabio} = 9y

\text{Total earning} = 12x+9y

They need at least $510 to purchase the new gaming station, means they need $510 or more than $510.

The equation for this is,

12x+9y\geq 510

2.

The number of dog walks that Fabio has scheduled is no more than twice the number of yards Gwen has scheduled to weed, means

y must be less than or equal to 2x.

The equation for this is,

y \leq 2x

3.

Fabio will walk at least 25 dogs, means y must be greater than of equal to 25.

The equation for this is,

y \geq 25

devlian [24]

Answer:

B (Base surface area) = 16 m^{2}

P (Perimeter of the base) = 16 m

H (Height) = 6 m

L (Not sure what L means. I assume it's the slant height??) =  6.32 m

LA (I assume lateral surface area) = 50.59 m^{2}

SA (I assume total surface area) = 66.59 m^{2}

V (volume) = 32 m^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry if anything is wrong. It would be more helpful to put the names, instead of acronyms.
