If seven consecutive numbers equal to 182, which one is the smallest?

Mathematics

Dafna1 [17]3 years ago

Answer:

23.

Step-by-step explanation:

My assumption: You mean when you add the numbers, they equal 182.

Let x be the smallest number. Then we are asked to solve the following equation:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) + (x + 5) + (x + 6) = 182.

Rearranging the equation gives us:

7x + 21 = 182 => x + 3 = 26 => x = 23.

So the smallest number is 23 (since our assumption was that x is the smallest number.

----

You could very well have stated that x was the middle number as a lot of cancellations would occur. That is:

(x - 3) + (x - 2) + (x - 1) + x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x - 3) = 182.

7x = 182 => x = 26 so the smallest would be 26 - 3 = 23.

Please help, I'm really confused with these two questions ):
erik [133]

Step-by-step explanation:

The die is rigged, so "not 3" is not a possibility.  Ruling out those branches of the tree, there are 4 possible outcomes, one of which is the desired outcome.  So the probability is 1/4.

A fair die has six sides that are equally likely, so the probability of rolling more than 2 is always 4/6.  The outcome of the first roll does not effect the outcome of the second roll.

A population of a particular yeast cell develops with a constant relative growth rate of 0.4225 per hour. The initial population
Ksju [112]

Answer: The population after 3 hours is 13.9 mill.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have an exponential with:

A  = initial population.

r = constant relative growth rate:

t = time.

The function that models this is:

P(t) = A*e^(k*t)

In this case we know that:

A = 3.9 mill.

r = 0.4225 1.

Then the function that models the population of this yeast cell is:

P(t) = (3.9 mill)*e^(0.4225*t)

where t represents the time in hours.

Then if we want to know the population after 3 hours, we should replace t by 3.

P(3) = (3.9 mill)*e^(0.4225*3) = 13.85 mill.

And we want to round our answer to one decimal place, then we must look at the second decimal place, we can see that is a 5, so we should round up.

The population after 3 hours is 13.9 mill.
