<span>During the distribution of bonbons to her grandchildren, Grandma Claudia realized that if she distributed 11
chocolates for each of them, 10 candies would remain. In the meantime, distribute 13 chocolates
each of his grandchildren, would lack 6.
Based on this information, it is CORRECT to state that the difference between the number of candies
and the number of grandchildren is
A) 90.
B) 30.
C) -90.
D) -30.
Let n=number of candies,
and c=number of grandchildren
The story expressed in modulo gives the two following equations:
then
mod(n,11)=10 (ten left if each given 11).............(1)
mod(n,13)=-6, or
mod(n,13)=7 (7 left if each given 13)
By enumerating (1), we have
10,21,32,43,54,65,76,87,98,109...
=> 8*11+10=98
By enumerating (2), we have
7,20,33,46,59,72,85,98,101...
=> 8*13-6=98
Hence there are 8 grandchildren and 98 candies.
The difference of the number of candies and the number of grandchildren is therefore 98-8=90.
Another way to get the number of grandchildren is
c=(10-(-6))/(13-11)=8

Well, the average of a sum of number is found by adding each given number and dividing that number by the amount of given numbers.
Example: 5+4+3+8=20
and 20/4 = 5, the average of the numbers
Multiply 1.8 by 8.0 using this format:
1.8
x8.0

Equation in slope-intercept form is y = 2x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given slope of the line, m = 2. Form an equation y = mx + b
⇒ y = 2x + b ---- (1)
- Step 2: The line passes through the point (4,2). So it will satisfy the equation. Find b by substituting x = 4 and y = 2.
⇒ 2 = 2 × 4 + b = 8 + b
⇒ b = -6
- Step 3: Form the slope-intercept equation.
⇒ y = 2x - 6
First we must convert the mixed numbers to the improper fractions:
