Answer:

1. Diego is incorrect because 2.375 divided by 0.025 does not equal 500.

2. 2.375 / 500 = 0.00475 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We take the thickness of the stack and divide it by the thickness of each piece of paper to get how many pieces of paper are in the stack. In this case, Diego's guess indicates that there are only 95 pieces of paper in the stack.

2. The proper formula for this would question would be 2.375 / x = 500.

x represents the thickness of each piece of paper. We can solve for x by multiplying both sides by x to get 2.375 = 500x then we divide both sides by 500 to isolate x.

2.375 / 500 = x

0.00475 = x

For both problems, we can use the section formula.

1) $P=\left(\frac{(1)(1)+(5)(-9)}{6}, \frac{(1)(8)+(5)(3)}{6} \right)=\boxed{\left(-\frac{22}{3}, \frac{23}{6} \right)}$

2) $Z=\left(\frac{(2)(7)+(1)(1)}{3}, \frac{((2)(5)+(1)(2)}{3} \right)=\boxed{(5, 4)}$

Patrick’s luck had changed over night – but not his skill at mathematical reasoning. The day after graduating from college he us

Verdich [7]

Answer:

I assume Josh and Peyton are his friends and both gave him advice on what to do with half of the money from the big lottery win.

Let's say Josh said "save it or invest it for your retirement" and Peyton said "use it to keep playing the lottery.

We will now look at the sense in each piece of advice!

Step-by-step explanation:

JOSH

By investing the $250,000 (half of the money won), Patrick will be sure that the money is available for him anytime and would even have gotten interest, by the time he's ready to use it.

PEYTON

By playing the lottery continuously, Patrick could get lucky once in a while and win big again. How big though?

Analyzing with the figures given,

$20 gets Patrick a lottery ticket.

$250,000 will get him 12,500 lottery tickets!

Whether he's buying the tickets at once or he'll play the lottery once in a while, I'll say he has good chances of winning big again.

So if the probability of winning big after purchasing up to 12,500 tickets is close to 1, Patrick should play the lottery with the $250,000

If the probability of winning big after purchasing 12,500 lottery tickets is close to 0 (closer to 0 than it is to 1) then Patrick should invest the $250,000 in retirement.

I'm given that log4=0.602 and log12=1.079

Rudiy27

log(3) = log(12/4)

Use the quotient rule [ $\text{log}_a\frac{x}{y}=log_ax-log_ay$ ] to simplify.

log(12/4) = log(12) - log(4)

Simplify using the given values for 12 and 4.

1.079 - 0.602

0.477

Therefore, log(12) ≈ 0.477

Best of Luck!
