Answer:  Natasha = 480; Richard = 240, Stephen = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N, R, and S stand for the amounts Natasha, Richard and Stephen receive.  The problem tells us that:

N = 2R, and

R = 3S

We know that N+R+S = 800

Since N=2R and R=3S, N = 6S

N+R+S = 800

6S+3S+S=800

10S=800

S=80

R=3S or 240

N=2R or 480

Conclusion:

N gets 480

R gets 240,

and S gets 80

That adds to 800.

. . .  AND the last conclusion is that I need to meet Natasha.  Please send Stephen home.

the units digit of a two-digit number is twice the tens digit. If the digits are reversed, the new number is 9 less than the ori
Anton [14]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the correct and complete question: The units digit of a two-digit number is twice the tens digit. If the digits are reversed, the new number is 9 less than twice the original number. What is the original number?

Lets assume the original number be"10y+x". (x is unit digit and y is 10th digit)

∴ if number is reversed then resulting number be "10x+y".

As given: x= 2y

        and 10x+y= 2(10y+x)-9

Now, solving the equation to get original number.

10x+y= 2(10y+x)-9

Distributing 2 to 10y and x, then opening the parenthesis.

⇒ 10x+y= 20y+2x-9

subtracting by (2x+y) on both side.

⇒ 8x= 19y-9

subtituting the value of "x", which is equal to 2y.

∴ 8\times 2y= 19y-9

⇒ 16y=19y-9

subtracting both side by (16y-9)

⇒ 3y= 9

cross multiplying

We get, y= 3

y=3

∵x= 2y

x=2\times 3= 6

∴ x= 6

Therefore, the original number will be 36 as x is the unit number and y as tenth number.

There are three executives in an office, ages 56, 57, and 58. If a 57-year-old executive enters the room, the
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

option (c) The mean age will stay the same but the variance will decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Case I: For 3 executives of ages 56, 57 and 58

Number of executives, n = 3

Mean = \frac{\textup{56 + 57 + 58 }}{\textup{3}}

or

Mean = 57

Variance = \frac{\sum{(Data - Mean)^2}}{\textup{n-1}}

or

Variance = \frac{(56 - 57)^2+(57-57)^2+(58-57)^2}{\textup{3-1}}

or

Variance = \frac{1+0+1}{\textup{2}}

or

Variance = 1

For Case II: For 4 executives of ages 56, 57, 58 and 57

Number of executives, n = 4

Mean = \frac{\textup{56 + 57 + 58 + 57 }}{\textup{4}}

or

Mean = 57

Variance = \frac{\sum{(Data - Mean)^2}}{\textup{n-1}}

or

Variance = \frac{(56 - 57)^2+(57-57)^2+(58-57)^2+(57-57)^2}{\textup{4-1}}

or

Variance = \frac{1+0+1+0}{\textup{3}}

or

Variance = 0.67

Hence,

Mean will remain the same and the variance will decrease

Hence,

The correct answer is option (c) The mean age will stay the same but the variance will decrease

Can you tell de answer?
kodGreya [7K]
Yes, it’s D because you would have want to compare both fractions by making them have the same denominator. Since 60 is the least common denominator for 10 and 12 (the denominators), you would convert the fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator of 5/10 by 6 to get 60. 5/10 would turn into 30/60. Then you would multiply 6/12 both by 5, and then it would turn into 30/60. Now that you have equal fractions, you can guess that they are the same. Therefore, 30/60=30/60! An easier way of doing it would be just simplifying them into 1/2 and comparing them + seeing that they are both 1/2. Hope this helps!
