Answer:
Mr. Garcia had 5 kilograms of blueberries at first
Step-by-step explanation:
to make this easiest, we can imagine that we're undoing mr. garcia's actions.
So, we can start by 'unpacking' mr garcia's bags
we know that each of the nine bags had 1/4 kilograms, so we can multiply 1/4 by 9 to find the collective mass packed into bags
(remember, multiplication is repeated addition. we could also add 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4... nine times, but this would take a while)
so,
1/4 x 9 = 9/4
(9 = 9/1 [if that is how you're used to multiplying a fraction])
Then, he also sold 2 3/4 kilograms
so, we can add 2 3/4 + 9/4 to find the total mass of the blueberries at first
2 3/4 + 9/4 = 2 + 12/4
(12/4 = 3)
2 + 3 = 5
So, Mr. Garcia had 5 kilograms of blueberries at first
6.5 - 3 = 3.5
11 - 6.5 = 4.5
16.5 - 11 = 5.5
23 - 16.5 = 6.5
From this, you can see that the number being added is increasing by 1 each time.
Therefore, the pattern is adding 3.5, then 4.5, then 5.5, then 6.5, and so on.
The equation has 0 real solutions.
If an equation has a negative discriminant, than there are no real solutions. We know this because the quadratic formula requires you to take the square root of the discriminant and therefore you would have all imaginary numbers.
Answer:
<em>It will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Least Common Multiple (LCM)</u>
Three events keep James from sleeping: his clock ticking every 20 seconds, a tap dripping every 15 seconds, and his dog snoring every 27 seconds.
All three events happened together at midnight. They will happen together again the first time the numbers 20, 15, and 27 have a common multiple. This is the LCM.
List the prime factors of each number:
20: 2,2,5
15: 3,5
27: 3,3,3
Now multiply all the factors the maximum number of times they appear:
LCM=2*2*3*3*3*5=540
(a) All the events will happen together again after 540 minutes.
(b) Since 540 minutes = 9 hours, this event won't happen again until 9 am. Thus, it will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.
