OFFER A is cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

OFFER A

Pack of 5

£2.75

Pay for 3 packs get 1 free

And

OFFER A

Pack of 5

£2.75

Pay for 3 packs get 1 free

To find which offer is cheaper.

For OFFER A

For 4 Packets he needs to pay £2.75

He needs to buy 40 batteries.

He needs to buy 40÷(4×5) = 2 packets.

Total cost = £2.75 ×2 = £5.5

For OFFER B

For 4 Packets he needs to pay £2.52

He needs to buy 40 batteries.

He needs to buy 10 packets.

After discount he has to pay = £2.52 -(£2.52 × $\frac{1}{3}$ ) = £1.68

Total cost = £1.68×10 = £16.8

Hence,

OFFER A is cheaper.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

48 designs

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pieces of clothes = 3

Area covered by each design on a piece of cloth = 1/16

How many types of designs can Alice embroider on the three pieces of cloth

Number of designs Alice can embroider on 3 pieces of cloth = Total pieces of cloth / area covered by each embroidery

= 3 ÷ 1/16

= 3 × 16/1

= 48

Therefore, Alice can embroidery 48 types of designs on the 3 pieces of clothes

You have 480 grams of a radioactive kind of samarium. If its half-life is 90 years,

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

120 grams will be left after 180 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

A radioactive half-life refers to the amount of time it takes for half of the original isotope to decay and its given by

$N(t)=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}$

where,

$N(t)$ = quantity of the substance remaining

$N_0$ = initial quantity of the substance

$t$ = time elapsed

$t_{1/2}$ = half life of the substance

From the information given we know that:

The initial quantity is 480 g,
The half-life is 90 years,
180 years is the time elapsed.

And we want to find how much will be left. For this we use the above formula.

$N(t)=480\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{180}{90}}\\\\N(t)=480\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2\\\\N(t)=480\cdot \frac{1}{2^2}=120$

120 grams will be left after 180 years.

Four polynomials are shown below:

7nadin3 [17]

C. It is fifth degree because the highest power in it is 5. It is a binomial because there are two terms in it.

A is also 5th degree, but it has three terms. D is a binomial, but its degree is 3.

B is neither a binomial nor fifth degree.
