Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
11
Discussion:
Let "n" be the smaller number. Then
n * (n+5) = 176.
My first reaction to this problem was to factor 176 in my head. That's 176 = 16 * 11 and 16 is 5 more than 11. So that's the solution!.... Now let's solve it using the brute force approach:
n(n+5) = 176 =>
n^2 + 5n - 176 = 0 => use the quadratic formula
n = ( -5 +\- sqrt( 5^2 - 4(1)(-176)) ) /2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt( 25 + 704) )/ 2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt (729) ) /2 => as sqrt(729) = 27
= (-5 +\- 27) / 2 =>
= (-5 + 27)/2 or ( -5 -27)/2 =>
= 22/2 or -32/2 =>
= 11 or -16
But -16 is not allowed as the question wants a positive value.
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
The area of the shaded portion of the figure is
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
The shaded area is equal to the area of the square less the area not shaded.
There are 4 "not shaded" regions.
step 1
Find the area of square ABCD
The area of square is equal to

where
b is the length side of the square
we have

substitute

step 2
We can find the area of 2 "not shaded" regions by calculating the area of the square less two semi-circles (one circle):
The area of circle is equal to

The diameter of the circle is equal to the length side of the square
so
---> radius is half the diameter
substitute


Therefore, the area of 2 "not-shaded" regions is:

and the area of 4 "not-shaded" regions is:

step 3
Find the area of the shaded region
Remember that the area of the shaded region is the area of the square less 4 "not shaded" regions:
so
---> exact value
assume

substitute
Answer:
10 batches
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 cups = 1 muffins
15/2 cups = x muffins
For x muffins,
3/4 × X = 15/2 × 1
3x × 2 = 15×4
6x = 60
Divide both sides by 6
6x/6 = 60/6
X = 10
Hence 10 batches of muffins will be made from 15/2 cups of nuts.
Answer:
The answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Winnona took 5 tests and retake Test 5. So the mean score for this question is Total number of scores divide by Total number of tests is equals to 87 :
Let Test 5's score be x,
Let mean score be 87,

Next you have to solve the value of x :

C. the three in the hundredths place is ten times greater than the 3 in the tenths place
