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.

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

Replace x and y with the given values:

2(1/8 + 4) - (3/16*8)

Use distributive property:

1/4 + 8 - (3/16 * 8)

Simplify to get final answer:

8 1/4 - 1 1/2 = 6 3/4

The intercepts of the equation x^2 + 4y^2 = 16 are ___<br> PLEASE HELP
Eva8 [605]
Yintercepts are where x=0
set to zero to solve

0^2+4y^2=16
4y^2=16
divide 4
y^2=4
sqrt both sides
y=+/-2

xintercept is where y=0

x^2+4(0)^2=16
x^2+0=16
x^2=16
sdqrtboth sides
x=+/-4

yintercepts are (0,2) and (0,-2)
xintercepts are (4,0) and (-4,0)

Which circle has a central angle that measures 40°?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the circle that has a central angle that measures 40°.

In all options, the center of circle is U. It means central angle must be on center, i.e., U.

In option A,the angle VXZ is at point X which is not the center. So, angle VXZ is not a central angle.

In option B,the angle VUZ is at point U which is the center. So, angle VUZ is a central angle with measure 40°.

In option C,the angle XZV is at point Z which is not the center. So, angle XZV is not a central angle.

In option D,the angle VXZ is at point X which is not the center. So, angle VXZ is not a central angle.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
