The number is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number then the reciprocal will be 1/x

according to given statement

The sum of the reciprocal of a number and 3/5 is 7/10

$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{3}{5} = \frac{7}{10}\\Taking\ LCM\\\frac{5+3x}{5x} = \frac{7}{10}\\Cross-multiplying\\10(5+3x) = 7(5x)\\50+30x=35x\\Subtracting\ 30x\ from\ both\ sides\\50+30x-30x=35x-30x\\50=5x\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 5\\\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{50}{5}\\x=10$

The number is 10

Malachy, Sushil and Fiona share some sweets in the ratio 7:1:1. Malachy gets 90 more sweets than Fiona. How many sweets does Sus

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Fiona (F) = Sushi (S)

Malachy (M) = 7 Fiona (F)

M = F + 90

F + 90 = 7F

6F = 90

F (Fiona) = 15

S (Sushi) = 15

check: Malachy (M) = 15 * 7 = 105

M-F = 105 - 15 = 90

Given the following definition, compute Q(5). Q(n) = 0 if n = 0 2 if n = 1 4 if n = 2 Q(n − 1) + Q(n − 2) + Q(n − 3) if n > 2

aalyn [17]

We have
$Q(0)=0\\
Q(1)=2\\
Q(2)=4$
and $Q(n)=Q(n-1)+Q(n-2)+Q(n-3)\mbox{ when } n\ \textgreater \ 2.$
So
$Q(3)=Q(2)+Q(1)+Q(0)=4+2+0=6\\
Q(4)=Q(3)+Q(2)+Q(1)=6+4+2=12\\
Q(5)=Q(4)+Q(3)+Q(2)=12+6+4=22.
$
