Answer:
4 questions
Step-by-step explanation:
90% is the same as multiplying a number by 0.9. Let's say the number of questions on the quiz is x. This means the amount she got right was 0.9x. We are given this is 36, so we can set them equal and simplify:
0.9x = 36
x = 40
She must have gotten 40 - 36, or 4 questions wrong.
Answer:
(7, 24, 26)
Step-by-step explanation:
A Pythagorean triple must have an odd number of even numbers. The triple (7, 24, 26) is not a Pythagorean triple.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
For an odd integer n, a triple can be formed as ...
(n, (n²-1)/2, (n²+1)/2)
That is, the following will be Pythagorean triples.
- (3, 4, 5)
- (5, 12, 13)
- (7, 24, 25)
- (9, 40, 41)
- (11, 60, 61)
Another series involves even numbers and numbers separated by 2:
(2n, n²-1, n²+1)
- (8, 15, 17)
- (12, 35, 37)
- (16, 63, 65)
In this list, if n is not a multiple of 2, the triple will be a multiple of one from the odd-number series.
It is a good idea to remember a few of these, as they tend to show up in Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry problems.
Answer:
-2.6, -1.7, -0.81, 0.24, 1.89
Step-by-step explanation:
I would have to say -7(1/8)x-4/3=20.
The first and the second one both result in
-23 5/7
The last one results in -24 8/21
but the third one is -22 3/8.
So your answer is either the third of the last one. I assumed the third because, it is lower than all others and the first two are closer to 24 than they are to 22. It’s your choice on how to judge it.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) 1.56×10^4 = 1.56×10000 = 15,600
(b) There are 3600 seconds in an hour, so Andrew's time was
15600 s/(3600 s/h) = 13/3 h = 4 1/3 h
1/3 hour is 20 minutes, so Evelyn's time of 4:16 is shorter than Andrew's time of 4:20.
