Complete Question
Jim had 103 red and blue marbles. After giving 2/5 of his blue marbles and 15 of his red marbles to Samantha, Jim had 3/7 as many red marbles as blue marbles. How many blue marbles did he have originally?
Answer:
70 Blue marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let red marbles = R
Blue marbles = B
Step 1
Jim had 103 red and blue marbles.
R + B = 103.......Equation 1
R = 103 - B
Step 2
After giving 2/5 of his blue marbles and 15 of his red marbles to Samantha, Jim had 3/7 as many red marbles as blue marbles
2/5 of B to Samantha
Jim has = B - 2/5B = 3/5B left
He also gave 15 red marbles to Samantha
= R - 15
The ratio of what Jim has left
= Red: Blue
= 3:7
= 3/7
Hence,
R - 15/(3/5)B = 3/7
Cross Multiply
7(R - 15) = 3(3/5B)
7R - 105 = 3(3B/5)
7R - 105 = 9B/5
Cross Multiply
5(7R - 105) = 9B
35R - 525 = 9B............ Equation 2
From Equation 1, we substitute 103 - B for R in Equation 2
35(103 - B) - 525 = 9B
3605 - 35B - 525 = 9B
Collect like terms
3605 - 525 = 9B + 35B
3080 = 44B
B = 3080/44
B = 70
Therefore, Jim originally had 70 Blue marbles.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
What you want to test is if there is a difference between the number of courses taken by students of different years, you can determine 4 populations of students:
Population 1: Freshmen
Population 2: Sophomores
Population 3: Juniors
Population 4: Seniors
To each population you measured the study variable, setting 4 different variables. To compare these variables the best way is to make one test where you compare the four populations at the same time, so the hypothesis is:
H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ = μ₃ = μ₄
H₁: At least one of the population means is different from the others.
The most appropriate test to use to compare the population mean of the 4 groups is an ANOVA.
I hope you have a SUPER day!
Answer:
a1 = 0.5; common ratio = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the common ratio = r
a2 = 2.5
a3 = 2.5r
a4 = 2.5r * r = 2.5r^2
We are told a4 = 62.5, so
2.5r^2 = 62.5
Divide both sides by 2.5
r^2 = 25
r = 5
a2 = a1 * r
a1 = a2/r = 2.5/5 = 0.5
Answer: a1 = 0.5; common ratio = 5
