Find the least whole number that can make this statement true 15<_*400

1 answer:

6 0

So whole numbers include the negative numbers, the zero and the positive numbers.
We will examine each category,

1- For the negative numbers:
multiplying a negative number by a positive value will result is a negative value (negative values are less than positive values of course). Therefore, multiplying any negative number by 400 will give a negative value which will make the desired statement false.

2- For the zero:
multiplying any number by a zero will give a result of zero which is again less than positive numbers. So, if we multiply 400 by a zero, the result will be zero which will again make the desired statement false.

3- For positive numbers:
multiplying two positive numbers will result in a positive value. Since 400 is already greater than 15, therefore, multiplying 400 by any positive value will keep the statement true. Since we are looking for the smallest whole number, therefore, we will choose that number to be 1 which will give 400 when multiplied by 400 (this is the smallest possible value).

The answer is 1.

zhuklara [117]

As per the problem,

Rhonda bought a new laptop for $800.

The laptop depreciates, or loses, 20% of its value each year.

The value of the laptop at a later time can be found using the formula

$A=P(1-r)^t.....(1)$

Here we have

P=$800

r=20%=0.20

t=2 years

Substitute the values in equation (1) we get

$A=800(1-0.2)^2\\ \\ \Rightarrow A=800(0.8)^2\\ \\ \Rightarrow A=800*0.64\\ \\ \Rightarrow A=512\\$

The laptop be worth in two years will be $512.

Answer:

12 which is on C

Step-by-step explanation:

use pathogoras theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

16^2+b^2=20^2

256+b^2=400

b^2=400-256

b^2=144

b= square root of 144

b= 12

Probability can be calculated using the formula

AveGali [126]

It really depends on the situation as probability depends on logic more than simple mathematical equations. However you must keep in mind a few principles:
1- P = number of possible outcomes of the event / total outcomes
2- P always less than or equal to 1.
3- For independent events A and B to occur simultaneously, P= P(A) x P(B)
