Finding the discriminate of a quadratic formula determines the number and type of answers.
The formula is b^2 -4(ac)
a = 6. b = -7 and c = -4
-7^2 -4(6*-4) = 145
The answer is a positive number so this means there are 2 real solutions.
We can add 1/6 & 1/3 together to find out the total amount of crackers that were eaten:
1/6 + 1/3 (Find the Common Denominator. In this case it is 6.)
= 1/6 + 2/6
= 3/6 (Now find the Lowest Terms. Both 6 & 3 divide into 3)
= 1/2 (In Lowest Terms)
This means that 1/2 of the Crackers have been eaten.
1/2 of 18 = 9
Therefore, Bob has 9 Crackers left.
Answer:
28 eggs
Step-by-step explanation:
It takes a hen and a half to lay an egg and a half in a day and a half - this means it takes 1 hen to lay 1 egg in a day and a half. Therefore, 1 hen will lay 4 eggs in 6 days, and 7 hens will lay 28 eggs in 6 days.
