Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume each person in the group must have 1 pencil AND 1 eraser each.

Since you have more pencils than erasers, then the limiting factor is the number of erasers. So a group of 56 people will have 1 pencil And 1 eraser and Clare will have 24 pencils left over (assuming Clare has her own pencil and eraser - if not then the group size is 55 assuming Clare is not in the group)

sorry if it's too confusing

Volume (to the nearest tenth)
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

913

Step-by-step explanation:

cylinder:

radius=5.6 height=7

first lets find the volume of the cylinder the formula for the volume of a cylinder is pi times radius squared times height. so after plugging in the height and radius you get 689.64242

cone:

radius=5.6 height=6.8

now the volume of the cone, the formula for the volume of a cone is pi times radius squared times height/3. so after plugging in the height and radius of the cone you get 223.31278

so 689.64242 + 223.31278= 912.9552 and that rounded to the nearest tenth is 913

Lucy writes down her phone number by breaking it down into the format (949) 205-6630 instead of as a continuous 10-digit string
Klio2033 [76]

The strategy that Lucy uses to recall her phone number is what is known as Chunking.

<h3>What is Memory?</h3>

This refers to the place where information is stored for future use and can either be a short or long-term memory.

Hence, we can see that based on the breaking down of her phone numbers of Lucy into a particular format that separates them using country/state code, she is making use of chunking.

This method of chunking is effective because it would help Lucy to recall her number quite easily.

Find m and n if the remainder when 8x^3+mx^2-6x+n if divided by (x-1) and (2x-3) are 2 and 8 respectively
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

we have:

8x³ + mx² - 6x + n

= 8x³ - 8x² + (m + 8)x²- (m + 8)x + (m + 2)x - (m + 2) + m + 2+ n

= 8x²(x - 1) + (m + 8)x(x - 1) + (m + 2)(x - 1) + (m + n + 2)

= (x - 1)[8x² + (m + 8)x + m + 2] + (m + n + 2)

because the remainder if divided by (x-1) is 2

=> m + n + 2 = 2

⇔ m + n = 0 (1)

we also have:

8x³ + mx² - 6x + n

= 8x³ - 12x² + (m + 12)x² - 3/2.x.(m + 12) + ( 12 + 3/2.m)x - (9/4.m +  18) + n +9/4m + 18              

= 4x²(2x - 3) + 1/2.(m + 12)x(2x - 3) + (3/2m + 12).1/2.(2x - 3) + 9/4m + n + 18

= (2x - 3)(4x² + (m + 12)/2.x + 3/4m + 6) + 9/4m + n + 18

 because the remainder if divided by  (2x - 3) is 8

=> 9/4m + n + 18 = 8

⇔ 9/4m + n = -10 (2)

from (1) and (2), we have:

m + n = 0

9/4m + n = -10

=> m = -8

      n = 8
