The polynomial is not factorable with rational numbers
If they saved £29 all together, and if each of them saved the same amount,
then each saved £29/4 = £7.25 or £7 and 25p.
(Before decimalization in 1971, £7.25 would have been £7 and 5s .)
Answer:
4 consecutive goals
Step-by-step explanation:
If 3 of last 10 field goals = 30%
Which is equivalent to
(Number of goals scored / total games played) * 100%
(3 / 10) * 100% = 30%
Number of consecutive goals one has to score to raise field goal to 50% will be:
Let y = number of consecutive goals
[(3+y) / (10+y)] * 100% = 50%
[(3+y) / (10+y)] * 100/100 = 50/100
[(3+y) / (10+y)] * 1 = 0.5
(3+y) / (10+y) = 0.5
3+y = 0.5(10 + y)
3+y = 5 + 0.5y
y - 0.5y = 5 - 3
0.5y = 2
y = 2 / 0.5
y = 4
Therefore, number of consecutive goals needed to raise field goal to 50% = 4
To solve this problem, let us first assign variables. Let
us say that:
A = runner
B = cyclist
d = distance
v = velocity
time = t
The time in which the cyclist overtakes the runner is the
time wherein the distance of the two is the same, that is:
dA = dB
We know that the formula for calculating distance is:
d = v t
therefore,
vA tA = vB tB
Further, we know that tA = tB + 2, therefore:
vA (tB + 2) = vB tB
4 (tB + 2) = 14 tB
4 tB + 8 = 14 tB
10 tB = 8
tB = 0.8 hours = 48 min
Therefore the cyclist overtakes the runner after 0.8
hours or 48 minutes.
