the sum of 2 consecutive integers is less than 55.the pair of integers sum are 26 and 27. true or false?

1 answer:

6 0

X + x + 1 < 55
2x + 1 < 55
Subtract 1 from both sides
2x < 54
Divide both sides by 2
x < 27
The integer less than 27 is 26.
26 + 27 < 55. True

8) The height of a building h varies directly as the length and inversely as the width, if h = 25m when l = 10m and w = 5m, find

shtirl [24]

Let h,l, and w represent the height, length, and width of the building respectively

Then

$\begin{gathered} h\text{ = }\frac{kl}{w} \\ \text{where k is the constant of proportionality} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow k=\frac{hw}{l} \\ \Rightarrow k=\frac{25\times5}{10}=12.5 \end{gathered}$ $\Rightarrow h=\frac{12.5l}{w}$

The new value of h = 50m, but l remains the same.

That is l = 10m

Therefore

$\begin{gathered} \frac{50}{1}=\frac{12.5\times10}{w} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{50}{1}=\frac{125}{w} \\ \text{Cross multiplying, we have} \\ 50w\text{ = 125} \\ \Rightarrow\text{ w=}\frac{125}{50}=2.5 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the width is 2.5m

Please consider the complete question.

Sebastian swan laps every day in the community swimming pool. He swam 45 minutes each day, 5 days each week, for 12 weeks. In that time, he swam 1800 laps. What was his average rate in laps per hour?

Let us convert time taken into hours as:

$\text{Days}=5\times 12=60$
