Answer – True
To begin an indirect proof, you assume the inverse of what you intend to prove is true. An indirect proof takes the conclusion from a hypothesis and assumes that the inverse is true until a contradiction is reached, thus showing that if the inverse is true there would be a contradiction. In other words, indirect proof demonstrates that something else apart from the given statement (usually algebraic or geometric) would not make sense.
Since the question is asking how many pencils the teacher will have to give out, we can automatically ignore the 46 erasers from the problem because it is not relevant. The information was most likely put there to confuse you.
Each student is getting 28 pencils, so if we multiply the number of students by 28 pencils, we will find how many pencils the teacher will need to give out.
There are 42 children in the classroom, so multiply 42 by 28.
42 * 28 = 1,176
The teacher will have to give out <u>1,176 pencils</u> to her 42 children in the classroom.
Answer:
No solution because it is minus 9
182 games
24 on each shelf
basicaaly
x shelves is more than or equal to 182 games
1 shelf=24
x times 24>182
divide both sides by 24
x>7 and 4/24
x has to be a whole number since you can't have fractional shelves
you have to have more shelves since less shelves won't allow you to carry all of them
round up
7 and something rounded u is 8
8 shelves (if you are a weird store that has fractional shelves then the answer is 7 and 1/6 shelves)
