Answer:
So, its better to buy larger bag
Step By Step Explanation:
Let
Smaller bag hold = x ounces
Price of x ounce in smaller bag = $ y
Price of 1 ounce in smaller bag = ....(1
Larger bag will hold = x + 10 ounces
Price of x+10 ounces in larger bag = y + 1.5
Price of 1 ounce in larger bag = ...(2
Now equation 1 tells that 1 ounce in smaller costs , and equation 2 tells in ounce in larger bag costs .
Now as we can see, we can get equation 2 from equation 1 by increasing numerator by 1.5 and denominator by 10. In this case denominator has increased more than numerator so the value of overall fraction would be less than . It means our larger bag has less price per ounce.
So, its better to buy larger bag
Given:
long stick: 3 4/5 feet
short stick: 3 1/2 feet
convert mix fractions into improper fractions:
3 4/5 = (3*5)+4/5 = 19/5 long stick
3 1/2 = (3*2)+1/2 = 7/2 short stick
19/5 - 7/2 ⇒ (19/5 * 2/2) - (7/2 * 5/5) = 38/10 - 35/10 = (38 - 35)/10 = 3/10
3/10 feet should be cut from the longer stick so that the two walking sticks will be the same length.
3 4/5 ft = 45.6 inches long stick
3 1/2 ft = 42 inches short stick
3/10 ft = 3.6 inches to be cut from long stick
45.6 inches - 3.6 inches = 42 inches
Let's start by finding the first 15 perfect square numbers ():
Next, we just need to find the difference between the 15th perfect square number and the 8th perfect square number, which I've made bold in the list above.
