So he has to read 500 and he already read 260 500 - 260 = 240. 240 divided by 30 equals 8. So the answer will be 8 days

Anna, Beth and Colleen are softball players. This season, Anne had 65 base hits in 160 at-bats. Beth batting average was 0.399,

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Anne is the best hitter as she has the best hitting average of 0.406

Step-by-step explanation:

Anne hits 65 bases out of 160 at - bats.

Beth's betting average = 0.399

Collin's hit = 40%

Now, we need to convert all the three hitting rates into same parameters to compare them with each other.

Average hit rate of Anne = $\frac{\textrm{Total numberof base}}{\textrm{Total number of at - bats}}$

$= \frac{65}{160} = 0.406$

⇒The betting average of Anne = 0.406

Now, The hit - rate of Collin = 40%

Converting the percentage rate into decimal, we get the hit rate of Collin

= $\frac{40}{100} = 0.40$

Hence, we get that Hitting Average of :

<u>Anne = 0.406</u>, Beth = 0.3999 and Collin = 0.400

Hence, from the above data Anne is the best hitter as she has the best hitting average of 0.406.

2x+3y=19 // 6x+2y=22

zvonat [6]

Answer:

(2, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + 3y = 19 → (1)

6x + 2y = 22 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate the x- term

- 6x - 9y = - 57 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

0 - 7y = - 35

- 7y = - 35 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

2x + 3(5) = 19

2x + 15 = 19 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

solution is (2, 5 )

Find the remainder when x4 - 5x3 + x2 - 10x - 5 is divided by x + 3.

m_a_m_a [10]

Use the remainder theorem: we can decompose the given polynomial in terms of quotient and remainder polynomials $q(x)$ and $r(x)$ , respectively, such that

$x^4 - 5x^3 + x^2 - 10x - 5 = (x + 3) q(x) + r(x)$

Then letting x = -3 makes the quotient term vanish, and we're left with a remainder of

$r(-3) = (-3)^4 - 5\times(-3)^4 + (-3)^2 - 10\times(-3) - 5 = \boxed{250}$
