Problem 1

<h3>Answer:   26/32</h3>

-----------------------

Work Shown:

There are is 1 way to get 0 tails (aka 5 heads)

There are 5 ways to flip the coins so that exactly one coin shows tails and the rest are heads.

We have 1+5 = 6 ways of getting at most 1 tail. The phrasing "at most 1" means "1 is the largest number we can get".

There are 2^5 = 32 ways to flip five coins, so there are 32-6 = 26 ways of getting at least two tails. Note the events "getting at most 1 tail" and "getting at least 2 tails" are complementary events. One or the other must happen.

The probability of getting two or more tails is therefore 26/32.

========================================================

Problem 2

<h3>Answer: 56 total villages</h3>

-----------------------

Work Shown:

We'll work our way backwards starting with the last (7th) son

x = number of villages left before the 7th son gets his share

x/8 + 7 = number of villages the 7th son gets

x - (x/8+7) = 7x/8 - 7 = number of villages left after the 7th son gets his share

This amount should be 0, so,

7x/8 - 7 = 0

7x/8 = 7

7x = 7*8

7x = 56

x = 56/7

x = 8

There are 8 villages left before the 7th son gets his share; this means he gets x/8+7 = 8/8+7 = 1+7 = 8 villages. Or you can note that if there are 8 villages left, and he's the last in line, then he gets the remaining 8.

Plugging x = 8 into 7x/8 - 7 leads to 0.

----------

y = amount of villages left before the 6th son gets his share

y/8 + 6 = amount of villages the 6th son gets

y - (y/8+6) = 7y/8 - 6 = amount of villages left after 6th son gets his share

We match up the x = 8 found earlier with this new expression and we solve for y. This is because x represents the number of villages leftover after the 6th son gets his share. After the 6th son gets his share, that leftover x is then handled for the 7th son as discussed above.

7y/8 - 6 = x

7y/8 - 6 = 8

7y/8 = 14

7y = 14*8

7y = 112

y = 112/7

y = 16

There are 16 villages leftover before the 6th son gets his share.

This means the 6th son gets y/8 + 6 = 16/8 + 6 = 2+6 = 8 villages.

----------

z = amount of villages left before the 5th son gets his share

z/8 + 5 = amount of villages the 5th son gets

z - (z/8+5) = 7z/8 - 5 = amount of villages left after 5th son gets his share

You can probably spot the pattern by now. We'll follow the same idea as before. Set 7z/8-5 equal to the 16 villages and we get

7z/8-5 = y

7z/8-5 = 16

7z/8 = 16+5

7z/8 = 21

7z = 21*8

7z = 168

z = 168/7

z = 24

There are 24 villages before the 5th son gets his share.

He gets z/8 + 5 = 24/8 + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8 villages.

------------

I'll do one more iteration

w = amount of villages left before the 4th son gets his share

w/8 + 4 = amount of villages the 4th son gets

w - (w/8+4) = 7w/8 - 4 = amount of villages left after 4th son gets his share

Set that equal to the previous value 24 and solve for w

7w/8-4 = z

7w/8-4 = 24

7w/8 = 24+4

7w/8 = 28

7w = 28*8

7w = 224

w = 224/7

w = 32

There are 32 villages before the 4th son gets his share.

He gets w/8 + 4 = 32/8 + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8 villages.

------------

The rest of the steps to find the other village counts will follow this template. You should find that each son gets 8 villages. There are 7 sons, so that means there are 7*8 = 56 villages total.

------------

It makes sense that the answer is some multiple of 8 because when taking 1/8 of the value leads to an integer. In other words, (1/8)*x is an integer.

Furthermore, it also makes sense that each son gets a multiple of 8 villages because if let's say the first son gets 9 villages (some non-multiple of 8), then 56-9 = 47 is not a multiple of 8. Plugging that into x/8+2 for the second son will lead to some non-integer result. So it's a bit nice that everything is a multiple of 8.

A stronger verification is shown in the table below. The table keeps track of how many leftover villages there are for any given son, whether its before or after they get their share. At the top we start with 56 and then slowly make our way down to 0 villages.

slega [8]

Answer: 0.548

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to remember the formula for PEMDAS(Parenthesis,exponents,multiplication,divison,addition,subtractio)

you can do either multiplication or divison whichever comes first, same with addition+subtraction.

the underlined means to simplify

Can anybody teach me how to solve this pls​
wel
Answer is 10 and 170, complementary angles are 90°, while supplementary angles are 180 in total, if angle A is 80 then you subtract 90 by 80 and you get 10, so that is angle B, So then you are asked what is angle C. Which is part of the supplementary angle so you take the 10° that you got from B and then you subtract 180 by the 10, And thats how you get 170 and that's how you know that C is 170 (hope this explanation helps)

.Given the functions f(n) = 500 and g(n) = (nine tenths)n _ 1, combine them to create a geometric sequence, an, and solve for th
weeeeeb [17]
The original functions are: f(n) = 500 and g(n) = [9/10]^(n-1)

A geometric sequence combining them is: An = f(n)*g(n) = 500*[9/10]^(n-1):

Some terms are:
A1= 500
A2 = 500*[9/10]
A3 = 500*[9/10]^2
A4 = 500*[9/10]^3
....
A11 = 500*[9/10]^10 ≈ 174.339

Answer: the third option, An = 500[9/10]^(n-1); A11 = 174.339

Mr. Jones jogs the same route each day. The amount of time he jogs is inversely proportional to his jogging rate.
german

Answer is option C

Mr. Jones jogs the same route each day. The amount of time he jogs is inversely proportional to his jogging rate.

time= \frac{k}{rate}

k is the constant of proportionality

We check with each option and identify which option gives us same K value

(a) 4 mph for 2.5 hours and 6 mph for 3.75 hours

2.5= \frac{k}{4} so k = 10

3.75= \frac{k}{6} so k = 22.5

K values are not same

(b) 3 mph for 2 hours and 4.5 mph for 3 hours

2= \frac{k}{3} so k = 6

3= \frac{k}{4.5} so k = 13.5

K values are not same

(c) 4 mph for 2.5 hours and 5 mph for 2 hours

2.5= \frac{k}{4} so k = 10

2= \frac{k}{5} so k =10

K values are  same .

Answer is option C
