Answer: 12 friends.
Step-by-step explanation:
the data we have is:
Mei Su had 80 coins.
She gave the coins to her friends, in such a way that every friend got a different number of coins, then we have that:
The maximum number of friends that could have coins is when:
friend 1 got 1 coin
friend 2 got 2 coins
friend 3 got 3 coins
friend N got N coins
in such a way that:
(1 + 2 + 3 + ... + N) ≥ 79
I use 79 because "she gave most of the coins", not all.
We want to find the maximum possible N.
Then let's calculate:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
15 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
now we are close, lets add by one number:
55 + 11 = 66
66 + 12 = 78
now, we can not add more because we will have a number larger than 80.
Then we have N = 12
This means that the maximum number of friends is 12.

Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of any corresponding coordinates will give the scale factor.
Using the x-coordinates of C' and C, we have ...
scale factor = C'/C = 4/6 = 2/3
The dilation scale factor is 2/3.
Answer=3/10
Step wise =
Total number of student=40
student who eat Hamburger=12
now,
Probability of eating hamburger student = 12/40
=3/10
The nth term of the sequence is 2n - 8
<h3>Equation of a function</h3>
The nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as;
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
where
a is the first term
d is the common difference
n is the number of terms
Given the following parameters
a = f(1)=−6
f(2) = −4
Determine the common difference
d = f(2) - f(1)
d = -4 - (-6)
d = -4 + 6
d = 2
Determine the nth term of the sequence
Tn = -6 + (n -1)(2)
Tn = -6+2n-2
Tn = 2n - 8
Hence the nth term of the sequence is 2n - 8
