Answer:
Convert the decimal number to a fraction by placing the decimal number over a power of ten. Since there is
1
number to the right of the decimal point, place the decimal number over
10
1
(

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 and 2 are linear pairs
1 and 3 are verticle
4 and 5 are adjacent
Let's begin by listing the first few multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 38, 40, 44. So, between 1 and 37 there are 9 such multiples: {4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36}. Note that 4 divided into 36 is 9.
Let's experiment by modifying the given problem a bit, for the purpose of discovering any pattern that may exist:
<span>How many multiples of 4 are there in {n; 37< n <101}? We could list and then count them: {40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100}; there are 16 such multiples in that particular interval. Try subtracting 40 from 100; we get 60. Dividing 60 by 4, we get 15, which is 1 less than 16. So it seems that if we subtract 40 from 1000 and divide the result by 4, and then add 1, we get the number of multiples of 4 between 37 and 1001:
1000
-40
-------
960
Dividing this by 4, we get 240. Adding 1, we get 241.
Finally, subtract 9 from 241: We get 232.
There are 232 multiples of 4 between 37 and 1001.
Can you think of a more straightforward method of determining this number? </span>
Answer:
The number of horses that can eat 4 stacks of hay in 8 days = 56 horses
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The time it takes 16 horses to eat 5 stacks = 35 days
Therefore;
The time it takes 16 horses to eat 5/5 stacks (1 stack) = 35 days/5 = 7 days
The time it takes 16 horses to eat 1 stack of hay = 7 days
The time it takes 16 horses/16 to eat 1 stack of hay = 7 days × 16 = 112 days
Therefore;
The time it takes 1 horse to eat 1 stack of hay = 112 days
The time it takes 1 horse to eat 4 × 1 stack of hay = 112 days × 4 = 448 days
The time it takes 1 horse to eat 4 stacks of hay = 448 days
Therefore, given that (448 days)/(8 days/horse) = 56 horse, we have;
The number of horses that will eat 4 stacks of hay in 8 days = 56 horses.
Your answer will be X = 11 over 2, if that's a 2 over 5 in the beginning of the problem
