Marlene is solving a number puzzle involving three rational numbers a, b, and c. Here are her clues:

1 answer:

5 0

A/c = 8.....a = 8c
a * c = 2 ...a = 2/c
a/b = -16 ...a = -16b
a * b = -1....
b/c = -0.5

2/c = 8c
2 = 8c^2
1/4 = c^2
sqrt 1/4 = c
0.5 (or 1/2) = c <===

a * c = 2
0.5a = 2
a = 2/0.5
a = 4 <===

a = -16b
4 = -16b
4/-16 = b
-1/4 (or - 0.25) = b <===

1001112 = [ ? ]10<br> ?<br> what number belongs where the question mark is

EleoNora [17]

I suppose you're supposed to convert 100111 from base 2 to base 10. We have

$100111_2=2^5+2^2+2^1+2^0=32+4+2+1=39_{10}$

so the missing number is 39.

A family built a house in a beach resort area. In 1990, the house was 430 ft from the water. With erosion, the house was 400 ft

neonofarm [45]

We develop an equation for the given situation by first writing the general equation for lines,

y = mx + b

Substituting to this given the values given above,

(1990) 430 = b

(2000) 400 = m(10) + 430

The value of m from the equation in 2000 is -3. Thus, the equation of that relates the variables is,

y = -3x + 430
