Answer:

1 cm : 82km

Step-by-step explanation:

Now

1km = 1000 X 100 cm

Therefore

2050km = 2050 X 1000 X 100cm

2050km = 205,000,000 cm

25cm rep 205,000,000 cm

1cm rep 205,000,000/25 cm

1cm rep 8,200,000cm

8,200,000= 8,200,000÷(100,000)km

=82km

Therefore: 1cm represents 82km

An alternate approach is to divide directly

25cm rep 2050 km

1cm represents 2050/25km

1cm: 82km

The scale is 1 cm : 82km

There are 15 red, 10 green and 9 white balls in the dark room. Jack wants to take a minimal number of balls such that at least 8
agasfer [191]
<h3>Answer: 24</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

If Jack were to get really lucky and draw either

* 8 red balls in a row

* 8 green balls in a row, or,

* 8 white balls in a  row

then the answer would be 8. However, this event of drawing the same color ball 8 times in a row is fairly unlikely. What is more likely is that there will be multiple colors involved (because we have roughly the same number for each color mors or less). So consider the scenario in the next section below.

----------

If Jack were to draw a red ball first, then a green ball second, and then a white ball third, then so far has selected 3 balls from the drawer. None of the colors match up. This is leading to the worst case scenario in terms of the number of balls to select. In other words, Jack is really unlucky to not get any colors match up so far. When aiming for a guarantee like this, it is wise to think of the worst case scenario.

If we repeat the pattern (red, green, white) then so far we have 2 balls of each color. In total we have selected 6 overall. Note how 3*2 = 6.

Repeat this a third time, then we'll select 9 balls total (3*3 = 9)

The fourth iteration of this pattern has 3*4 = 12 balls overall picked out, and so on.

If we continue the pattern, then we'll see that we will need to select 3*8 = 24 balls to guarantee that we have at least 8 of the same color (eg: 8 red balls). Chances are that we'll have 8 of the same color before we hit the 24 ball mark, but we wont have a 100% guarantee of such. Reaching 24 balls is the only way to guarantee the claim is true.

So to summarize: I pictured the worst case scenario (red,green,white) and extended out the pattern so that it led to 24 as the final answer.
