Step-by-step explanation:
what was his starting balance ?
Since it's a multiple of 24, it has to be a multiple of the factors of 24.
Factors of 24:
2,3,4,6,8,12
You can use some of this knowledge to help create the number.
Since the # needs to be a multiple off 2, the last digit needs to be an 8
All numbers that are multiples of 3 have the property that all of their digits added together have to be a number that is evenly divisible by 3.
so your number will look like:
_ _ _ _ _ 8
so start trying combinations for the other 5 digits that give you a number that is a multiple of 3: 3,6,9,12,15, ect. If you can't find one, then it's impossible
If you sketch the path of the boat, you will form a right triangle towards the port. The distance from the port to the present position is the hypotenuse since it is opposite from the right angle formed by the 12 miles north and 5 miles east movement. Since it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the hypotenuse.
Solution:
h² = o² + a²
h² = 12² + 5²
h² = 144 + 25
h² = 169
√h² = √169
h= 13
The present distance of the boat from the port is 13 miles.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
17 / 12
(12 + 5) / 12
12/12 + 5/12
1 5/12
