Answer:

8gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If Joe drinks 10 liters of water every week, then;

10liters = 1 week

After 3weeks;

x litres =3 weeks

Divide both expressions

10/x = 1/3

x = 3*10

x = 30litres

This means he consumes 30litres in 3 weeks

If there are approximately 19 liters in 5 gallons, the;

19litres = 5gallons

To determine the number of gallons consumed in 3 weeks;

30litres = y

Divide both expressions

19/30 = 5/y

Cross multiply

19 * y = 30*5

19y = 150

y = 150/19

y = 7.89

y ≈ 8 (to nearest whole number)

Hence Joe drinks 8gallons of water in 3weeks

We know: The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is equal 180°.

We have: m∠A =65°, m∠B = (3x - 10)° and m∠C = (2x)°.

The equation:

65 + (3x - 10) + 2x = 180

(3x + 2x) + (65 - 10) = 180

5x + 55 = 180 <em>subtract 55 from both sides</em>

5x = 125 <em>divide both sides by 5</em>

x = 25

m∠B = (3x - 10)° → m∠B = (3 · 25 - 10)° = (75 - 10)° = 65°

m∠C = (2x)° → m∠C = (2 · 25)° = 50°

<h3>Answer: x = 25, m∠B = 65°, m∠C = 50°</h3>

If n is a positive integer, how many 5-tuples of integers from 1 through n can be formed in which the elements of the 5-tuple ar

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

$\frac{(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n}{120}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5 tuples implies that:

$n = 5$

$(h,i,j,k,m)$ implies that:

$r = 5$

Required

How many 5-tuples of integers $(h, i, j, k,m)$ are there such that $n\ge h\ge i\ge j\ge k\ge m\ge 1$

From the question, the order of the integers h, i, j, k and m does not matter. This implies that, we make use of combination to solve this problem.

Also considering that repetition is allowed: This implies that, a number can be repeated in more than 1 location

So, there are n + 4 items to make selection from

The selection becomes:

$^{n}C_r => ^{n + 4}C_5$

$^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)!}{(n+4-5)!5!}$

$^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)!}{(n-1)!5!}$

Expand the numerator

$^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)!(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n*(n-1)!}{(n-1)!5!}$

$^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n}{5!}$

$^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n}{5*4*3*2*1}$

$^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n}{120}$

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5, find the ratio of the smaller number to the larger nu

IgorC [24]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x,y, where x>y

The geometric mean is

$\sqrt{xy}$

The Arithmetic mean is

$\frac{x + y}{2}$

The ratio of the geometric mean and arithmetic mean of two numbers is 3:5.

$\frac{ \sqrt{xy} }{ \frac{x + y}{2} } = \frac{3}{5}$

We can write the equation;

$\sqrt{xy} = 3$

or

$xy = 9 - - - (2)$

l

and

$\frac{x + y}{2} = 5$

or

$x + y = 10 - - - (2)$

Make y the subject in equation 2

$y = 10 - x - - - (3)$

Put equation 3 in 1

$x(10 - x) = 9$

$10x - {x}^{2} = 9$

${x}^{2} - 10x + 9 = 0$

$(x - 9)(x - 1) = 0$

$x =1 \: or \: 9$

When x=1, y=10-1=9

When x=9, y=10-9=1

Therefore x=9, and y=1

The ratio of the smaller number to the larger number is

$\frac{1}{9}$
