Not sure what dimensions means but this is what I got out of it , hope it helps !
Let x and y be the 2 parts of 15 ==> x + y=15 (given)
Reciprocal of x and y ==> 1/x +1/y ==> 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 (given)
Let's solve 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 . Common denominator = 10.x.y (reduce to same denominator)
==> (10y+10x)/10xy = 3xy/10xy ==> 10x+10y =3xy
But x+y = 15 , then 10x+10y =150 ==> 150=3xy and xy = 50
Now we have the sum S of the 2 parts that is S = 15 and
their Product = xy =50
Let's use the quadratic equation for S and P==> X² -SX +P =0
Or X² - 15X + 50=0, Solve for X & you will find:
The 1st part of 15 is 10 & the 2nd part is 5
Answers: The page numbers are 11 and 12
==========================================================
Explanation:
Consecutive integers are ones that follow immediately after another. For example, the set {7,8,9,10} are consecutive.
Let,
- x = first page, some positive whole number
- x+1 = second page, follows immediately after page x
Adding those two said pages will lead to 23
first + second = 23
(x) + (x+1) = 23
2x+1 = 23
2x = 23-1
2x = 22
x = 22/2
x = 11 is the first page
x+1 = 11+1 = 12 is the second page
Check: 11+12 = 23 which confirms the answers.
Ok so
since we h ave
3.5=1 day's morning
and
2.3=1 day's afternoon
we need to add them to find 1 day and multiply by 6 (number of days)
that answer is not listted so we make into anohter form
this wold be
6 times (3.5 +2.3)
if we distributed
a(b+c)=ab+ac
6(3.5+2.3)=6 times 3.5+6 times 2.3
this is D
The answer is
4(2)+41=2+5
49
X=2
