Answer:
80 KPH
Step-by-step explanation:
The total trip was 280*2 (the trip to perry and then to come back home)
divide this by the 7 hours it took him, and you get your answer. Enjoy!
Well, we could try adding up odd numbers, and look to see when we reach 400. But I'm hoping to find an easier way.
First of all ... I'm not sure this will help, but let's stop and notice it anyway ...
An odd number of odd numbers (like 1, 3, 5) add up to an odd number, but
an even number of odd numbers (like 1,3,5,7) add up to an even number.
So if the sum is going to be exactly 400, then there will have to be an even
number of items in the set.
Now, let's put down an even number of odd numbers to work with,and see
what we can notice about them:
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 .
Number of items in the set . . . 8
Sum of all the items in the set . . . 64
Hmmm. That's interesting. 64 happens to be the square of 8 .
Do you think that might be all there is to it ?
Let's check it out:
Even-numbered lists of odd numbers:
1, 3 Items = 2, Sum = 4
1, 3, 5, 7 Items = 4, Sum = 16
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 Items = 6, Sum = 36
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 . . Items = 8, Sum = 64 .
Amazing ! The sum is always the square of the number of items in the set !
For a sum of 400 ... which just happens to be the square of 20,
we just need the <em><u>first 20 consecutive odd numbers</u></em>.
I slogged through it on my calculator, and it's true.
I never knew this before. It seems to be something valuable
to keep in my tool-box (and cherish always).
Copy the expression.
Then copy the expression again, but replace c with 8.
Then do the operations.
7/8 * c =
= 7/8 * 8
= 1/8 * 7 * 8
= 1/8 * 8 * 7
= 1 * 7
= 7
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percentage, multiply by the number of total cookies by the decimal conversion of the percentage. Sugar cookies are 30% since 60% is oatmeal and 10% is chocolate chip.
30% is 0.30. The number of sugar cookies is 200*0.30 = 60.
