A box of Munchkins contains chocolate and glazed donut holes. If Jacob ate 2 chocolate

Mathematics

neonofarm [45]3 years ago

Answer:

24 munchkins.

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let C be the number of chocolate and D be number of glazed donut holes in the original box.

We are told if Jacob ate 2 chocolate  munchkins, then 1/11 of the remaining Munchkins would be chocolate. We can represent this information as:

C-2=\frac{1}{11}*(C+D-2)...(1)

We are also told if he instead added 4  glazed Munchkins to the original box, 1/7 of the Munchkins would be chocolate. We can represent this information as:

C=\frac{1}{7}*(C+D+4)...(2)

Upon substituting C's value from equation (2) in equation (1) we will get,

\frac{1}{7}*(C+D+4)-2=\frac{1}{11}*(C+D-2)

Let us have a common denominator on right side of equation.

\frac{1}{7}*(C+D+4)-\frac{7*2}{7}=\frac{1}{11}*(C+D-2)

\frac{C+D+4-14}{7}=\frac{1}{11}*(C+D-2)

Multiplying both sides of our equation by 7, we will get,

7*\frac{C+D-10}{7}=7*\frac{1}{11}*(C+D-2)

C+D-10=\frac{7}{11}*(C+D-2)  

Multiplying both sides of our equation by 11, we will get,

11*(C+D-10)=11*\frac{7}{11}*(C+D-2)  

11*(C+D-10)=7*(C+D-2)

11C+11D-110=7C+7D-14

11C-7C+11D-7D=-14+110  

4C+4D=96

4(C+D)=96  

(C+D)=\frac{96}{4}

(C+D)=24

Therefore, the total number of Munchkins in original box is 24.

Plz help me ASAP I will give Brainliest if right. What is the probability that he gets a number less than 4 or A multiple of 4?
mezya [45]

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The sectors are labeled 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Numbers less than 4: 1,2,3

Multiples of 4: 4,8

We are looking for 1,2,3,4,8  = 5 choices

P (1,2,3,4,8) = Number of choices/ total

                  = 5/8

A square piece of paper has an area of x2 square units. A
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Length of rectangular strip = 12

area of rectangular strip =   2*12 = 24

Area of square =  x^2 = 12^2 = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square x^2

area of rectangle is given by length * width

Length of rectangular strip = x

width of rectangular strip = 2

area of rectangular strip =  length * width = 2*x = 2x

Area of square piece of paper when  rectangular strip is taken away from it

= Area of square - area of rectangular strip

= x^2 -2x

It is given that Area of square piece of paper when  rectangular strip is taken away from it is 120 square units.

Thus,

x^2 -2x = 120\\=> x^2 -2x -120 = 0\\=> x^2 -12x +10x-120\\=> x(x-12) +10(x-12)\\=> (x+10)(x-12) = 0\\\\

Thus,

either x+10 = 0 or x -12= 0

x = -10 or x = 12

but length cannot  be negative hence neglecting x = -10

hence value of x is 12.

Hence,

Length of rectangular strip = 12

area of rectangular strip =   2*12 = 24

Area of square =  x^2 = 12^2 = 144

Michael is 12 years older than Brandon. Seventeen years ago, Michael was 4 times as old as Brandon.
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

21 yrs old

Step-by-step explanation:

m= michael age

b=Brandon age

m=b+12

m-17=4(b-17)= 4b-68 --»»m = 4b -51

//put b+12 instead m// b+12=4b-51

3b=63 --»»b=21

Brandon age is 21

Michael age is 33

Suppose f and g are continuous functions such that g(6) = 6 and lim x → 6 [3f(x) + f(x)g(x)] = 45. Find f(6).
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
Since g(6)=6, and both functions are continuous, we have:

\lim_{x \to 6} [3f(x)+f(x)g(x)] = 45\\\\\lim_{x \to 6} [3f(x)+6f(x)] = 45\\\\lim_{x \to 6} [9f(x)] = 45\\\\9\cdot lim_{x \to 6} f(x) = 45\\\\lim_{x \to 6} f(x)=5


if a function is continuous at a point c, then lim_{x \to c} f(x)=f(c), 

that is, in a    c ∈  a continuous interval, f(c) and the limit of f as x approaches c are the same.


Thus, since lim_{x \to 6} f(x)=5, f(6) = 5


Answer: 5
