Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two digits be x and y, where x is the tens digit and y is the units (ones) digit.

Then the number is 10x + y.

From the question,

The sum of the digits in a two digit number is 14,

That is, x + y = 14 ....... (1)

Also, from the question,

If you reverse and double the original number, and then add the result to the original number, the sum is 222

If the number is reversed, the new number will be 10y + x; and if this is doubled, we will get 2(10y + x).

Now, if this is added to the original number (10x + y), the sum is 222.

That is,

2(10y + x) + (10x + y) = 222

Then,

20y + 2x + 10x + y = 222

12x + 21y = 222 ........ (2)

Now, we will bring the two equations together and solve simultaneously.

x + y = 14 ....... (1)

12x + 21y = 222 ........ (2)

From equation (1)

x + y = 14

Then, x = 14 - y ...... (3)

Substitute the value of x in equation (3) into equation (2)

12x + 21y = 222

12(14 - y) + 21y = 222

168 - 12y + 21y = 222

168 + 9y = 222

9y = 222 - 168

9y = 54

∴ y = 54/9

y = 6

To determine x, substitute the value of y into equation (3)

x = 14 - y

∴ x = 14 - 6

x = 8

∴ x = 8 and y = 6

Recall that, the two digits are x and y, where x is the tens digit and y is the units (ones) digit.

Hence, the original number is 86.

Two-fifths of the girls signed up to play softball. An equal number of girls signed up to play pitcher, infield, and outfield. W
Natali [406]
Okay so lets look at this.

So we have 5/5 girls.

2/5 of them are playing softball.  An equal number of girls signed up to play pitcher, infield, and outfield.  This means that each one is 1/3.

So out of 2/5 of the girls, there is 1/3 of the 2/5 that signed up to play outfield.

The answer can be solved with multiplication of fractions.

2/5 * 1/3 is 2/15.  So 2/15 of the girls in the school signed up to play outfield.

Answer: 2/15 or 0.133

How is volume calculated for a triangular prism?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of any prism whose height is perpendicular to the base is

V = B * h

The base can be anything, even a 17 sided figure. As long as the base has an area that can be found, and the height is perpendicular to it, the volume can be calculated.
