Directions: Using the digits 1 to 9, at most one time each, fill in the boxes to find the largest or smallest possible values fo
12345 [234]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  smallest: 8x -3 = 4; 1y +9 = 2. total = -49/8

  largest: 1x -9 = 8; 2y +3 = 7. total = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use variables to represent the box contents, we can write ...

  • ax -b = c
  • dy +e = f

Then the values of x and y are ...

  x = (c +b)/a

  y = (f -e)/d

For positive integer values of the variables, x will always be positive, and y may or may not be negative.

<h3>Smallest sum</h3>

For the sum to be the smallest, we must have x be as small as possible and the ratio (f-e)/d be as negative as possible.

x will be small for large 'a' and for (c+b) small. For y to be as negative as possible, we want 'd' and 'f' small and 'e' large. Best results are obtained for

  • 8x -3 = 4   ⇒   x = 7/8
  • 1y +9 = 2   ⇒   y = -7

For these coefficients, the sum is -6 1/8 = -49/8.

(note that the values of 'b' and 'c' can be swapped with no net effect)

<h3>Largest sum</h3>

For the sum to be the largest, we must have x as large as possible: (b+c) large and 'a' small. At the same time we must have y be positive and as large as possible: (f-e) positive and large, 'd' small. Best results are obtained for

  • 1x -9 = 8  ⇒   x = 17
  • 2y +3 = 7   ⇒   y = 2

For these coefficients, the sum is 19. Again, 'b' and 'c' can be swapped with no effect.

<em>Additional comment</em>

These extreme values are verified by examination of the 60,480 possible permutations of the coefficients.

The ratio of pencils to erasers is 4:1. If there are 20 pencils, how many erasers are there.
Leokris [45]

Answer: 5 Erasers

Step-by-step explanation: It's quite simple, really. You divide 20 by 4, (the number of pencils and the ratio number) and then you multiply whatever the quotient was by the ratio number for erasers.

Josh borrowed $50,000 from the bank to buy a new truck. The bank is going to charge him an interest rate of 6.9%. If his loan la
Neko [114]

Answer:

<em>The simple interest is $11,212.5 and the equation to determine Josh's simple interest is I = PRT/100</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating simple interest is expressed as;

SI = Principal * rate * time/100

SI = 50,000 * 6.9*39/100*12

SI = 500*6.9*39/12

SI = 134,550/12

SI = 11,212.5

<em>Hence the simple interest is $11,212.5 and the equation to determine Josh's simple interest is I = PRT/100</em>

P is the amount borrowed

R is the interest rate

T is the time in years
