Answer:

Mo is sharing the sweets between 5 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

An important thing to note is that whichever way Mo shares the sweets, the total number of sweets he has does not change. It means that if he chooses the first method to share the sweets, or the second method, he still has the same number of sweets. This will be helpful in setting up an equation that will help us solve the problem.

If he chooses the first way to share the sweets:

7x + 2 = total number of sweets available.

<em>This is because each of his friends gets 7 sweets each, with 2 leftovers. If we add them up, it will give the total number of sweets available to be shared.</em>

<em />

If he chooses the second way to share the sweets:

6x + 7 = total number of sweets available.

<em>This is because each of his friends gets 6 sweets each, with 7 leftovers. If we add them up, it will give the total number of sweets available to be shared.</em>

<em />

because the total number of sweets do not change, we have

7x +2 = 6x +7

Grouping like terms,

7x - 6x = 7 - 2

x = 5.

Therefore, Mo is sharing the sweets between 5 friends

klemol [59]

Answer:

Between 38.42 and 49.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 43.76, standard deviation of 2.67.

Between what two values will approximately 95% of the amounts be?

By the Empirical Rule, within 2 standard deviations of the mean. So

43.76 - 2*2.67 = 38.42

43.76 + 2*2.67 = 49.1

Between 38.42 and 49.1.

Bill is 2 years older than his brother Will. If the product of their ages is one less than five times the sum of their ages, how
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Will's age = 9 years

Bill's age = 11years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let will age = x

Bill = x +2 since he is 2 years older

x(x+2) = 5( x +x+2) - 1

Opening brackets

x² + 2x = 5(2x + 2) - 1

x² + 2x = 10x + 10 - 1

x² + 2x = 10x + 9

Collect like terms

x² + 2x - 10x - 9 = 0

x² - 8x - 9 = 0

Solve quadratically using factorisation method by finding two factors of +9 that can add up to give -8, the coefficient of x.

The factors are -9 and +1

x² + x - 9x - 9 = 0

x(x + 1) -9( x +1)

x+1) (x -9) =0

x + 1 = 0 or x -9 =0

x = -1 or 9

Age can not be negative

Therefore,

Will's age = 9 years

Bill's age = x+2 = 9+2 = 11years
