Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given,

Let the two digits that Chen writes down to be p and q

where,

q will be in the unit place and p will be in the tens place.

So, the value of the digit = 10p + q

So, if he swapped the number, he will have 10q + p

However,

the new number determined is thrice more than the 1/3 pf the original number.

i.e

the 1/3rd of the original number = $\dfrac{1}{3}(10p+q)$

= $\dfrac{10p+q}{3}$

thrice more than that will be = $\dfrac{10p+q}{3} + 3$

∴

$\dfrac{10p+q}{3} + 3 = 10q+p$

multiply through by 3, we have :

10p+q + 9 = 30q + 3p

collecting the like terms, we have:

10p - 3p +q -30q +9 = 0

7p - 29q +9 = 0

7p - 29q = -9

Therefore, p,q lie between 0 and 9

Therefore, the possibility of the original number is p = 7 and q = 2

a study designed to determine if there is an association between an adverse effect in a large population and exposure to a particular agent is an Epidemiological study.

Epidemiology is the observation of the distribution of diseases and other fitness-related situations in populations, and the utility of this study is to manipulate fitness issues. The time period epidemiology is now broadly carried out to cover the description and causation of not the most effective epidemic, infectious ailment, but of sickness in preferred, along with associated situations. some examples of topics examined via epidemiology consist of excessive blood stress, mental illness, and weight problems. Saving Lives. shielding human beings. Saving cash via Prevention. Epidemiology is the examination of the starting place and reasons for diseases in a network.

Cohort studies are fine for analyzing the herbal progression of ailment or chance elements for sickness; case-manipulate studies are lots quicker and less pricey. Qualitative research methods are a key component of discipline epidemiologic investigations due to the fact they are able to offer insight into the perceptions, values, critiques, and community norms in which investigations are being carried out (1,2).

Which equations show you how to find 16-9?

Pie

The correct answer is B.
16-9=7
So, 7+9=16.

If we add to 9 only 1 (out of those 7) we have then 10, remaining 6.
9+1=10

Now, if to 10 we add the remaining 6 we will have the final 16.
10+6=16

16-9=7 <=> 9+7=16 <=> (9+1)+6=16

Learning Task 3

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

1. The sides are: 38.5, 39.5, 40.5 and 41.5

2. Presently, Inzo is 15 years old and Miz is 10 years old

3. $Distance = 3682km$

4. Possible pairs are: (12, 14), (16, 18) and (20, 24)

5. $L < 38m$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has lots of missing details. See the comment section for complete question

Solving (a):

Given

Shape: Quadrilateral

Sides: Consecutive

$Perimeter = 160$

Let one of the sides be x. The other sides will be x + 1, x + 2 and x + 3.

So, the perimeter is:

$Perimeter = x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3$

This gives:

$160 = x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3$

Collect Like Terms

$160 -1-2-3= x+x+x+x$

$154= 4x$

Divide both sides by 4

$38.5 = x$

$x =38.5$

<em>So, the sides are: 38.5, 39.5, 40.5 and 41.5</em>

<em></em>

Solving (b):

Given

Presently: $Inzo = 10 + Miz$

Five years ago: $Miz - 5= \frac{1}{3} * (Inzo-5)$ --- (Missing from the question)

Required: Determine their present ages

Substitute $10 + Miz$ for Inzo in the second equation

$Miz - 5 = \frac{1}{3} * (10 + Miz - 5)$

$Miz - 5 = \frac{1}{3} * (Miz + 5)$

Multiply both sides by 3

$3Miz - 15 = Miz + 5$

Collect Like Terms

$3Miz -Miz = 15 + 5$

$2Miz= 20$

Divide both sides by 2

$Miz = 10$

Substitute 10 for Miz in $Inzo = 10 + Miz$

$Inzo = 10 + 5$

$Inzo = 15$

<em>So presently, Inzo is 15 years old and Miz is 10 years old</em>

Solving (3):

Given

Express Train:

$Speed = 100kph$

$Time = t$

Local Train:

$Speed = 45kph$

$Time = t + 45$

Required: Determine the distance between A and B

Distance is calculated as:

$Distance = Speed * Time$

For the express train:

$Distance = 100 * t$

For the local train

$Distance = 45 * (45 + t)$

Distance between both stations are equal; So,

$100 * t = 45 * (45 + t)$

$100 t = 2025 + 45t$

Collect Like Terms

$100 t -45t= 2025$

$55t= 2025$

Divide by 55

$t = 36.82$

Substitute 36.82 for t in $Distance = 100 * t$

$Distance = 100 * 36.82$

$Distance = 3682km$

Solving (4):

Let the even numbers be: n and n + 2.

Sum greater than 24: $n + n + 2 > 24$

Sum less than 60: $n + n + 2 < 60$

So, we have:

$n + n + 2 > 24$

$2n + 2 > 24$

Collect Like Terms

$2n > 24-2$

$2n > 22$

$n > 11$

$n + n + 2 < 60$

$2n + 2< 60$

Collect Like Terms

$2n < 60-2$

$2n < 58$

Divide by 2

$n$

So, we have:

$n > 11$ and $n < 29$

So, possible pairs are: (12, 14), (16, 18) and (20, 24)

Solving (5):

Given

$Perimeter < 152m$

Required: Find the possible lengths

Let the length be L.

Perimeter is calculated as:

$Perimeter =4 * L$

$Perimeter =4 L$

So, we have:

$4L < 152m$

Divide through by 4

$L < 38m$

Hence, length is less than 38m (e.g. 37m)
