Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets gets started.

First day, she saves nickels = 2

As we know, she doubles the number of nickels she saves each day.

Means second day she saves nickels = 2*2 = 4

Third day she saves nickels = 2*4 = 8

Fourth day she saves nickels = 2*8=16

Hence we have 2 + 4 + 8 + 16...

It is like a geometric series, the sum of nickels she needs more than 500.

So, lets see how many days she will take to save 500 nickels first

Using the sum formula for geometric series

s=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{(1-r)}

where s is sum, r is multiplication factor, that is 2 in this case and a is first term of series that is 2 also

500=\frac{2(1-2^n)}{(1-2)}

Simplifying, dividing 2 in both sides

250=\frac{(1-2^n)}{(1-2)}

250=\frac{(1-2^n)}{-1}

Cross multiplying

-250=1-2^n

2^n-1=250

2^n=251

Taking log on both sides

nlog2=log251

n=\frac{log251}{log2}=7.971

It means it will take 8 days to save mmore than 500 nickels.   :  Answer

Hope it will help :)

Answer:

b = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

C x D = A x B

15(11x - 91) = 7(2x + 10)

165x - 1365 = 14x + 70

add 1365 to both sides of the equation:

165x = 14x + 1435

subtract 14x from both sides:

151x = 1435

divide both sides by 151:

x = 9.5

b = 2(9.5) + 10 = 29

Victor has 861 marbles he’s putting into bags with twenty five in each bag. How many marbles will have in the bag that isn’t ful
Rashid [163]
11 since you’d divide 861 by 25, but you’d still not get a whole number so you’d get that as a remainder. then you’d divide .44 by 25 and get 11, cause there was 25 marbles in each bag.
