Answer: yes, it is
Step-by-step explanation:
A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 2 and 3 simultaniously.
n = k(k+1)(k-1)
If k-1 is a multiple of 3, n is divisible by 3, so one of the requirements is ok.
Now, if k-1 is a multiple of 3, it can be even or odd.
if k-1 is even, then it is divisible by 2 and as it is divisible by 3 as well, n is divisible by 6
if k-1 is odd, then k and k+1 is even, hence, divisible by 2.
As n = k(k+1)(k-1), n is also divisible by 6.
So, we have 4 cups of flour and 6 cups of sugar and we need to know how many cups of sugar per cup of flour does the recipe require. Because it is requested to know how many cups of sugar per cup of flour does the recipe require, we need to divide the amount of flour and sugar by the amount of flour, and we will know what we need to know.
4 cups of flour / 4 = 1 cup flour
6 cups of sugar / 4 = 6/4 = 3/2 = 1 1/2 cups of sugar per cup of flour is the solution
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
We need 60 dollars, we have 16
60-16 = 44
We need to earn 44 more dollars
At 4 dollars a pound
The money earned = lbs * dollars per pound
44 = lbs *4
Divide each side by 4
44/4 = lbs
11 = lbs
We must sell 11 more lbs
Answer:
e = 4796
Step-by-step explanation:
given,
mean of five distinct positive number = 1000
median of the number = 100
100 is median means two number will be less than 100 and two number will be greater than 100.
let five number be
a , b, c, d, e
'e' should be the largest number
As 100 is median so 'c' = 100.
'a' and 'b' should be as small as possible and d should be the number nearest to 100.
As all the number are distinct so the least number be equal to 1 and 2
now d will be equal to 101 (nearest to 100)
now,
sum of the five number = 5 x 1000 = 5000
a + b + c + d + e = 5000
1 + 2 + 100 + 101 + e = 5000
e = 5000 - 204
e = 4796
hence, the largest number will be equal to e = 4796
