If 8 identical blackboards are to be divided among 4 schools,how many divisions are possible? How many, if each school mustrecei

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

There are 165 ways to distribute the blackboards between the schools. If at least 1 blackboard goes to each school, then we only have 35 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, this is a problem of balls and sticks. The 8 identical blackboards can be represented as 8 balls, and you assign them to each school by using 3 sticks. Basically each school receives an amount of blackboards equivalent to the amount of balls between 2 sticks: The first school gets all the balls before the first stick, the second school gets all the balls between stick 1 and stick 2, the third school gets the balls between sticks 2 and 3 and the last school gets all remaining balls.

The problem reduces to take 11 consecutive spots which we will use to localize the balls and the sticks and select 3 places to put the sticks. The amount of ways to do this is ${11 \choose 3} = 165 .$ As a result, we have 165 ways to distribute the blackboards.

If each school needs at least 1 blackboard you can give 1 blackbooard to each of them first and distribute the remaining 4 the same way we did before. This time there will be 4 balls and 3 sticks, so we have to put 3 sticks in 7 spaces (if a school takes what it is between 2 sticks that doesnt have balls between, then that school only gets the first blackboard we assigned to it previously). The amount of ways to localize the sticks is ${7 \choose 3} = 35$ . Thus, there are only 35 ways to distribute the blackboards in this case.

Oxford currently generates 45,000 tons of garbage per year. but the city is launching some recycling initiatives to bring that n

Answer:

-Exponential Decay

-Decay factor is (1-0.05)

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given that the number decreases by a defined rate each year from the initial size by 5%,

-This is an exponential decay function of the form:

$y=Ae^{-rt}$

Where:

$y$ is the quantity/size after time t

$A$ is the initial size

$r$ is the rate of decay

-Our function can the be written as

$y=45000e^{-0.05t}$

Hence, the decay rate/factor is 0.05

#Alternatively

The exponential decay can be of the form:

$y=ab^x$

Where:

y is the size at time x, a is the initial size, x is time and b is the decay factor.

b is of the form $b=(1-r),\ \ r=decay\ rate$

$y=ab^x\\\\y=45000(1-0.05)^x$

Hence, the decay factor is (1-0.05)

Help me on this question! Jake can carry 6 1/4 pounds of wood in from the barn.His father can carry 1 5/7 times as much as jake.

ioda

$\text{ Jake father can carry } 10\frac{5}{7} \text{ or } \frac{75}{7} \text{ pounds }$

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

From given question,

Number of pounds Jake carry = $6\frac{1}{4} \text{ pounds }$

Number of pounds his father carry is $1\frac{5}{7}$ times as much as jake

To find: Number of pounds Jake father can carry

<em><u>Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions</u></em>

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator

$\rightarrow 6\frac{1}{4} = \frac{4 \times 6+1}{4} = \frac{25}{4}\\\\\rightarrow 1\frac{5}{7} = \frac{7 \times 1+5}{7} = \frac{12}{7}$

<em><u>Then according to question,</u></em>

$\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{12}{7} \text{ times the pounds jake carry }\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{12}{7} \times \frac{25}{4}\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{75}{7}\\\\\text{In terms of mixed fractions, }\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{75}{7} = 10\frac{5}{7}$

$\text{ Thus, Jake father can carry } 10\frac{5}{7} \text{ or } \frac{75}{7} \text{ pounds }$

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 123 what is the smallest of the three numbers

Inga [223]

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be:

x+2, x+4, x+6.

The sum of the consecutive numbers is 123 i.e

x+2 + (x+4) + (x+6) = 123

x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 123

3x + 12 = 123

Collect like terms

3x = 123 — 12

3x = 111

Divide both side by the coefficient of x i.e 3

x = 111/3

x = 37

Now let us find the value of the three odd numbers. This is illustrated:

1st : x + 2 = 37 + 2 = 39

2nd : x + 4 = 37 + 4 = 41

3rd : x + 6 = 37 + 6 = 43

The smallest of the three consecutive odd numbers is 39
