Thea has a key on her calculator marked $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$. If an integer is displayed, pressing the $\textcolor

{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key chops off the first digit and moves it to the end. For example, if $6138$ is on the screen, then pressing the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key changes the display to $1386$. Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again. After all these steps, the calculator displays $243$. What number did Thea originally enter?

Answer:

$9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.

To find: number that Thea originally entered

Solution:

The final number is $243$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $243$ must be $324$.

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $18$ must be $81$

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.

How would I solve n/5-3n/10=1/5<br><br>pls help me I am literally failing math.
otez555 [7]

Answer:

53/5

Step-by-step explanation:

since 10 is the denominator of the denominator we can move it to the numerator, giving us 10n/5-3n = 1/5

multiply all sides by 5-3n, giving us 10n = (5-3n)/5

now multiply by 5 to get rid of the final denomintor, 50n = 5-3n

move 3n to the other side 53n = 5, n = 53/5

Lol what do I put so stuck
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

[See Below]

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the "Fraction" column, all the fractions in this column must add up to 1 (because the whole bag contains only Red, Green, Blue or Other coloured beads).

So we work out the sum of missing fractions: \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}

And so we know the fractions in the missing boxes must add up to 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}.

This means that the number of blue and green beads is 2/3rds of the total number of beads in the bag. There are 12+4=16 blue+green beads so

\frac{2}{3} \times \text{Number of beads} = 16 \Rightarrow \text{Number of beads} = 24.

So if there are 24 beads in the bag, then the red beads are 1/12th of 24 which is 2 and the other beads are 1/4 of 24 which is 6.

Finally to complete the missing fractions: there are 12 blue beads and 24 in total so the fraction of blue beads is 12/24 = 1/2. Similarly, there are 4 green beads so the fraction of green beads is 4/24 = 1/6.

(I thought this was a very tricky question. Let me know in the comments if something doesn't make sense, or if you need more explanation on any part, or even if you spot an easier way to do it that I can't.)
