Answer: She used 1/5 of the original melon to make the fruit cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since Mrs Sims cuts the melon in fifths, the whole melon is equal to 5/5.

She gives one piece to each of her four children.

Each piece is 1/5 of the melon.

Since she give 4 = 1/5 x 4 = 4 /5  

The leftover is equal to:

5/5-4/5 = 1/5

So, she used 1/5 of the original melon to make the fruit cup.

Find the following Euler Totients using Euler’s Theorem, as explained on p.409 of the text (10 points each): a.ϕ(13) b.ϕ(81) c.ϕ
ad-work [718]

(a) \varphi(13)=12 since 13 is prime.

(b) 81=3^4, and there are 81/3 = 27 multiples of 3 between 1 and 81, which leaves 81 - 27 = 54 numbers between 1 and 81 that are coprime to 81, so \varphi(81)=54.

(c) 100=2^2\cdot5^2; there are 50 multiples of 2, and 20 multiples of 5, between 1 and 100; 10 of these are counted twice (the multiples of 2*5=10), so a total of 50 + 20 - 10 = 60 distinct numbers not coprime to 100, leaving us with \varphi(100)=100-60=40.

(d) 102=2\cdot3\cdot17; there are 51 multiples of 2, 34 multiples of 3, and 6 multiples of 17, between 1 and 102. Among these, we double-count 17 multiples of 2*3=6, 3 multiples of 2*17=34, and 2 multiples of 3*17=51; we also triple-count 1 number, 2*3*17=102. There are then 51 + 34 + 6 - (17 + 3 + 2) + 1 = 70 numbers between 1 and 102 that are not coprime to 102, and so \varphi(102)=102-70=32.

Given the following diagram, find the missing measure. G
jonny [76]

The Given Triangle PMO is a Right Angled Triangle with m∠M = 90°

Given m∠P = 40°

We know that : Sum of Angles in a Triangle = 180°

⇒ m∠P + m∠M  + m∠O = 180°

⇒ 40° + 90° + m∠O = 180°

⇒ 130° + m∠O = 180°

⇒ m∠O = 180° - 130°

⇒ m∠O = 50°

We can notice that m∠O and m∠1 form a Linear Pair (180°)

⇒ m∠O + m∠1 = 180°

⇒ 50° + m∠1 = 180°

⇒ m∠1 = 180° - 50°

⇒ m∠1 = 130°

Last Option is the Answer

find the amount of time to the nearest day it would take a deposit of $2500 to grow to $1 million at 2% compounded continuously.
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Years = natural log (Total / Principal) / Rate

Years = natural log (1,000,000 / 2,500) / .02

Years = natural log (400) / .02

Years =  5.9914645471 / .02

It would take  299.573227355 Years

Hagrid deposited $4350 in a bank for five years at the simple interest rate of 0.65% how much interest will he earn ?how much mo
deff fn [24]

Answer:

He will have $4491.38 after 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest = (Principal × rate × time)/100

SI = (4350 × 0.65 × 5)/100

SI = 141.375

Interest after 5 years = $141.38

The total money he will have after 5 years is

$4350 + $141.38

= $4491.38
