Answer:

23 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of children = 10

Number of marbles = 180

Since Betsy gets the most and no 2 children gets the same number of marbles

The least number of marbles Betsy could get will be x ; with the other 9 children receiving 1 less each

That is :

Betsy = x

9th child = x - 1

8th child = x - 2,... 1st child = x - 9

Hence,

(x + x - 1 + x - 2 + x - 3 + x - 4 + x - 5 + x - 6 + x - 7 + x - 8 + x - 9) = 180

10x - 45 = 180

10x = 180 + 45

x = 225 / 10

x = 22.5

x = 23

Hence, the least Betsy could get is 23 marbles

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Common Ratio = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Emily started with 12 lb at start.

She will double each day

So,

2nd day she will take up weight = 12 * 2 = 24

3rd day she will take up weight = 24 * 2 = 48

and so on

This is a geometric sequence, which is a sequence where each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant which is known as the common ratio.

Here, we are multiplying by "2" to get the next term, so we an say the common ratio is "2".

The Rule of 72 is a useful approximation for many interest rates and periods for the time it takes a lump sum to double in value
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The number of years to double the lump sum in value is;

N = 72/10 = 7.20

N = 7.20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of 72 for the approximation:

The formula for rule of 72 is;

Number of years to double = 72/interest rate in percentage

Given;

Interest rate = 10%

The number of years to double the lump sum in value is;

N = 72/10 = 7.20

N = 7.20 years
