Let x represent number of 16-cent stamps and 
let y represent number of 7-cent stamps

we can write equation:
16*x + 7*y = 129

Now, the problem is that we need both x and y to be whole numbers for obvious reasons. you cant put half a stamp.

We can do this by iteration and check for results. Obviously x cant be larger than 8 because:
8*16 = 128 and there is no room for 7-cent stamp

lets try 7:
7*16 = 112. remainder is 17 which isnt divisable by 7

for 6:
6*16 = 96. remainder is 33 which again isnt divisable by 7

but for 5 we get good result.

5*16 = 80.  remainder is 49 which divided by 7 gives us 7

that means 5x 16 cent stamps and 7x 7 cent stamps

Which statement is true? A.27/19<11/30 B.17/31>19/14 C.16/26>30/31 D.35/30<22/12
Mrac [35]

A. \frac{27}{19}

To find greater than or smaller than relation, we multiply the terms like (numerator of L.H.S with denominator of R.H.S and put the value on the left side. Then multiply the denominator of L.H.S with numerator of R.H.S and put the value on right side. Now compare the digits.)

So, solving A,  we get 810<209  ... This is false

B. \frac{17}{31}>\frac{19}{14}

= 238>589   ..... This is false

C. \frac{16}{26}>\frac{30}{31}

= 496>780    .... This is false

D. \frac{35}{30}

= 420<660   ..... This is true

Hence, option D is true.

It takes six analysts forty-two days to write a report. If the report had to be ready in 7 days, how many analysts would be need
Akimi4 [234]
If you assume doubling the workers will halve the time taken to finish then 12 analysts will take 21 days
To finish in 7 days (1/6 of 42 days) you would need 6 x the original number = 36 analysts.

Brook’s Law (see Wikipedia) suggests than adding extra analysts will actually slow the project down!
One reason is the extra people tend to get in each others way.
