Answer:

Man has total $8000 money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money he had be x

Now, as he spent $\frac{15}{16}$ of his money in buying a car

and, it is also given that price of car is $7500

So, we can write it as,

$\frac{15}{16} \times x = 7500$

⇒ $x= \frac{7500 \times16}{15}$

⇒ $x=\frac{120000}{15}\\$

⇒ x = 8000

Hence, before buying car he has $8000.

TO TRANSMIT INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET, LARGE FILES ARE BROKEN INTO PACKETS OF SMALLER SIZES. EACH PACKET HAS 1,500 BYTES OF IN

stich3 [128]

Answer:

A. It would be needed 20 packets to transmit 30,000 bytes of information and B. 45'000,000 (45 million) of bytes could be transmitted in 30,000 packets.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us for solving the question:

Size of each packet of information = 1,500 bytes

Number of packets = P

Number of bytes of information = B

2. Let's answer the questions:

A. How many packets would be needed to transmit 30,000 bytes of information?

P = 30,000 ÷ 1,500

P = 20

It would be needed 20 packets to transmit 30,000 bytes of information

B. How much information could be transmitted in 30,000 packets?

B = 30,000 * 1,500

B = 45'000,000

45'000,000 (45 million) of bytes could be transmitted in 30,000 packets.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

length of scale drawing = 9 feet

width of scale drawing = 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual dimension 15 feet by 45 feet.

length = 45 feet

width = 15 feet

Dimension on drawing is 20% of actual dimension.

20% = 20/100

Thus,

20% of 15 feet = 20/100 * 15 feet = 3 feet

20% of 45 feet = 20/100 * 45 feet = 9 feet

Thus, length of scale drawing = 9 feet

width of scale drawing = 3 feet
