Three consecutive integers are n, n+1, and n+2 so

n+n+1+n+2=243

3n+3=243

3n=240

n=80

So the integers are 80,81, and 82

Diana had a large stack of playing cards. She knew that 17 of them were kings. She took a sample of 30 cards and found 4 kings.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Diana approximately had 128 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of cards Diana had. She knows that

there are 17 kings among n cards
4 kings among 30 cards

Write a proportion:

$\dfrac{17}{n}=\dfrac{4}{30}$

Cross multiply:

$4n=17\cdot 30\\ \\4n=510\\ \\n=\dfrac{510}{4}=127.5\approx 128$

There are 15 red, 14 green, and 9 yellow balls in a dark room. What is the minimum number of balls that Alicia needs to take so

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you take 12 balls, 9 could be yellow and 3 could be red. We want at least 12 of the same color, so 30 balls isn't a good minimum

2. If you take 30 balls, 9 could be yellow, 10 could be red and 11 could be green. We want at least 12 of the same color, so 30 balls isn't a good minimum.

3. If you take 31 balls, 9 could be yellow, 11 could be red and 11 could be green. We want at least 12 of the same color, so 31 balls isn't a good minimum.

4. If you take 32 balls, 9 could be yellow, 11 could be red and 12 could be green or 9 could be yellow, 12 could be red and 11 could be green or 7 could be yellow, 13 could be red and 12 could be green or 9 could be yellow, 11 could be red and 12 could be green.

We want at least 12 of the same color, and we have it from the different samples of the 4th trial.

So, 32 balls is the minimum number of balls
