Given:

Daniela gives away some of her marbles every day for five days.

Each day, she has \dfrac{1}{4} the number of marbles she had a previous day.

To find:

The fraction of the original number of marbles Daniela have left after five days.

Solution:

Let the origin number of marble be x.

Number of marbles after one day = \dfrac{1}{4}x

Number of marbles after two days = \dfrac{1}{4}(\dfrac{1}{4}x)

                                                        = (\dfrac{1}{4})^2x

Similarly,

Number of marbles after three days = (\dfrac{1}{4})^3x

Number of marbles after four days = (\dfrac{1}{4})^4x

Number of marbles after five days = (\dfrac{1}{4})^5x

                                                         = \dfrac{1}{1024}x

Since, \dfrac{1}{1024} is multiplied with x, therefore, the number of marbles Daniela have left after five days is \dfrac{1}{1024} part of original number of marbles.

Consider the attached diagram, where ∠PQR is a straight angle.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

x = 22°

∠PQS = 112°

∠SQR = 68°

Step-by-step explanation:

        Since ∠PQR is a straight angle, it is equal to 180°. This means that ∠PQS and ∠SQR added together is also equal to 180°.

        ∠PQS + ∠SQR = 180°

        (6x - 20) + (3x + 2) = 180°

        6x + 3x + 2 - 20 = 180°

        9x - 18 = 180°

        9x = 198°

                 x = 22

        Now, we can substiute x into ∠PQS and ∠SQR.

        ∠PQS

        (6(22) - 20)

                 ∠PQS = 112°

        ∠SQR

        (3x + 2)

        (3(22) + 2)

                 ∠SQR = 68°
