How many pairs of consecutive natural numbers have a product of less than 40000? I am in 5th grade. This is supposed to be easy

for me, but it's not. I would greatly appreciate any help at all. Thank you, Anonymous

Answer:

There are 199 pairs of consecutive natural numbers whose product is less than 40000.

Step-by-step explanation:

We notice that such statement can be translated into this inequation:

n \cdot (n+1) < 40000

Now we solve this inequation to the highest value of n that satisfy the inequation:

n^{2}+n < 40000

n^{2}+n -40000

The Quadratic Formula shows that roots are:

n_{1,2} = \frac{-1\pm\sqrt{1^{2}-4\cdot (1)\cdot (-40000)}}{2\cdot (1)}

n_{1,2} = -\frac{1}{2}\pm \frac{1}{2} \cdot \sqrt{160001}

n_{1} = -\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \sqrt{160001}

n_{1} \approx 199.501

n_{2} = -\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \sqrt{160001}

n_{2} \approx -200.501

Only the first root is valid source to determine the highest possible value of n, which is n_{max} = 199. Each natural number represents an element itself and each pair represents an element as a function of the lowest consecutive natural number. Hence, there are 199 pairs of consecutive natural numbers whose product is less than 40000.

According to a recent​ study, 9.3​% of high school dropouts are​ 16- to​ 17-year-olds. In​ addition, 6.4​% of high school dropou
Finger [1]

Answer:

0.688 or 68.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of high school dropouts = P(D) = 9.3% = 0.093

Percentage of high school dropouts who are white = P(D \cap W) = 6.4% = 0.064

We need to find the probability that a randomly selected dropout is​ white, given that he or she is 16 to 17 years​ old. This is conditional probability which can be expressed as: P(W | D)

Using the formula of conditional probability, we ca write:

P(W | D)=\frac{P(W \cap D)}{P(D)}

Using the values, we get:

P( W | D) = \frac{0.064}{0.093} = 0.688

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected dropout is​ white, given that he or she is 16 to 17 years​ old is 0.688 or 68.8%

The sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 51. What is the second number in this sequence?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Assume the second number is x, then the other two are x - 2, x + 2

So x-2 + x + x + 2 = 51

-> 3x = 51

-> x = 17
