An eccentric baseball card collector wants to distribute her collection among her descendants. If she divided her cards among he

r 17 great-great-grandchildren, there would be 3 cards left over. If she divided her cards among her 16 great-grandchildren, there would be 10 cards left over. If she divided her cards among her 11 grandchildren, there would be 4 cards left over. If she divided her cards among her 7 children, there would be no cards left over.
What is the smallest possible number of cards in her collection?

If we let x as the total number of baseball cards
and yn be the quotient per operation, then

x/17 = y1 + 3

x/16 = y2 + 10

x/11 = y3 + 4

x/7 = y4

Based on Equation 1, x must be greater than 17
Based on Equation 4, x must be divisible by 7
y1, y2, and y3 must all be whole numbers
The smallest possible number of cards is 70

What is the volume and how is it measured? 3 1/4 ft 3 ft and 3 3/4 ft.​
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

36  \frac{9}{16}  cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If these are the width, length and height of a rectangular box (such details were not specified in the question), the volume is calculated by multiplying the three quantities because the volume of a rectangular prism is : width x height x length.

The easiest way to do it when mixed numbers are involved (specially when the denominators of the fractions are "4" like in your case), is to convert them to decimal form and then do the multiplication:

3 1/4 = 3.25

3 3/4 = 3.75

now do the product of the three quantities:

3 x 3.25 x 3.75 = 36.5625 = 36 + 0.5625

now convert 0.5625  into fraction form: 9/16 and you get the final answer (remember to include the cubic form of the units "ft" since each quantity you multiply carries a feet unit:

36  9/16  cubic feet

Review the following information about vectors q and r.
Vitek1552 [10]
<h3>Answer:  a = -1  (fourth choice)</h3>

==========================================

Work Shown:

q = (-4, 1) is one vector

r = (a,3) is another vector

The resultant vector is

q+r = (-4,1)+(a,3)

q+r = (-4+a,1+3)

q+r = (-4+a,4)

Multiply both sides by 7

7(q+r) = 7*(-4+a,4)

7(q+r) = (7*(-4+a),7*4)

7(q+r) = (-28+7a, 28)

---------------

Since 7(q+r) = (-35, 28), we know that,

(-28+7a, 28) =  (-35, 28)

which leads to

-28 + 7a = -35

when we equate the x components of each vector. Let's solve for 'a'

-28 + 7a = -35

7a = -35+28

7a = -7

a = -7/7

a = -1

--------------

Check:

q = (-4,1)

r = (a,3) = (-1,3)

q+r = (-4,1)+(-1,3)

q+r = (-4+(-1), 1+3)

q+r = (-5, 4)

7*(q+r) = 7*(-5, 4)

7*(q+r) = (7*(-5), 7*4)

7*(q+r) = (-35, 28)

The answer is confirmed.

Dan draws a circle with a radius of 8 inches. Question 1 Part A: What is the circumference of Dan's circle, inches? If needed, r
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The circumference of Dan's circle is approximately 50.27 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the circumference (s), measured in inches, is determined by the formula:

s = 2\pi\cdot r (1)

Where r is the radius, measured in inches.

If we know that r = 8\,in, then the length of the circumference is:

s = 2\pi\cdot (8\,in)

s \approx 50.27\,in

The circumference of Dan's circle is approximately 50.27 inches.
