I agree with the other person. <u>The answer is 5.</u>

Here's how we can check to see if a number is divisible by 7.

  • Step 1) Remove the units digit to form a truncated (aka shrunken) number.
  • Step 2) Double the digit we removed.
  • Step 3) Subtract that result from the truncated number.

If the result of the third step is a multiple of 7, then so is the original value itself. We can repeat the steps to progressively shrink the values down so we have something more manageable.

---------------

Let's use those steps to see if 20,258 is a multiple of 7

  • Step 1) Remove the '8' from 20258 to to get 2025
  • Step 2) Double the 8 to get 16
  • Step 3) Subtract 16 from 2025 to get 2025 - 16 = 2009

It's not clear if 2009 is a multiple of 7 or not; however, we can apply the same three steps to shrink the number down. This process can be repeated as many times as you like.

  • Step 1) Remove the 9 from 2009 to get 200
  • Step 2) Double the 9 to get 18
  • Step 3) Subtract to get 200-18 = 182

Like before, the result 182 is fairly big and it's not clear if we have a multiple of 7. Luckily, we only need to do one more round of those steps.

  • Step 1) Remove the 2 from 182 to get 18
  • Step 2) Double that value we removed to get 4
  • Step 3) Subtract to get 18-4 = 14

The result 14 is a multiple of 7, which means that 182 is also multiple of 7. By a domino-like chain reaction, the values 2009 and 20258 are also multiples of 7.

Notes:

  • 182 = 26*7
  • 2009 = 287*7
  • 20258 = 2894*7

---------------

We've just verified that 20258 is a multiple of 7. Let's go over an example a non-multiple of 7. I'll add 1 to the number 20258 so we are guaranteed that it cannot possibly be a multiple of 7. Doing the round of steps as shown above should get us to some smaller non-multiple of 7.

  • Step 1) Remove the 9 from 20259 to get 2025
  • Step 2) Double the 9 to get 18
  • Step 3) Subtract: 2025 - 18 = 2007

Repeat the steps until we get something more manageable

  • Step 1) Remove the 7 from 2007 to get 200
  • Step 2) Double the removed digit: 7*2 = 14
  • Step 3) Subtract: 200-14 = 186

Let's do one more round

  • Step 1) Remove the 6 from 186 to get 18
  • Step 2) Double the digit removed: 2*6 = 12
  • Step 3) Subtract: 18-12 = 6

The value 6 is not a multiple of 7, and neither are 186 and 2007 and 20259.

If you have your calculator with you, then you should see that dividing any of those values over 7 will not lead to a whole number result.

  • 186/7=26.57
  • 2007/7=286.71
  • 20259/7=2894.14

This is a fairly quick and efficient way to check divisibility by 7 if you are in a hurry.

Answer:

20258. The missing digit is a 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, let's write the number in a more creative way.  That's 21 000 - 700 = 20 300,  minus something else. That something else has to be a multiple of 7, be less than 100, and has to end with a 2. Now start writing down the multiplication table for 7 and find how many of them ends with 2. 42 comes to mind, and that's the only one. (you can go up to 7x14=98 before having one digit too many).

That brings your number to be written as 21000-700 -42 = 20258.

In theory there was a criteria to see if a number was divisible by 7, but I've never learned it.

Where v is the final velocity (in m/s), u is the initial velocity (in m/s), a is the acceleration (in m/s²) and s is the distanc
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The final velocity v is 21.74 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\textrm{initial velocity} = u = 9\ m/s\\\textrm{acceleration} = a = 7\ m/s^{2}\\\textrm{distance} = s = 28\ m

To find:

\textrm{final velocity} = v = ?

Solution:

As we know the third equation of motion is represented as

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2\times a\times s\\

Substituting the values u, a and s in the above equation we get

v^{2} = 9^{2} + 2\times 7\times 28\\ =81 + 392\\=473\\

v =\±\sqrt{473} \\v =\sqrt{473} \ \textrm{as acceleration is positive v is also positive}\\v = 21.74\ m/s

please help :) Which number is greater than 3.14159 × 10 to the 4 power? A. 5,678,889 B. 9.897752 x 10 to the 6 power C. 71,224,
BARSIC [14]

Answer: C. 71,224,900

Based on the power, move the decimal point that many spaces to the right. (e.g., If it's 7.9 × 10^3, then move the decimal three spaces to the right, and you'd get 7900.)

3.14159 × 10^7 = 31415900

9.897752 × 10^6 = 9897752

2.468 × 10^7 = 24680000

Out of all the numbers mentioned in the question, 71,224,900 is the only one that's greater than 3.14159 × 10^7 = 31415900.

What is the selling price of a set of scrubs if the markup is 80% of the cost, and the cost is $37.99?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Discount = Original Price x Discount %/100

Discount = 37.99 × 80/100

Discount = 37.99 x 0.8

You save = $30.39

Final Price = Original Price - Discount

Final Price = 37.99 - 30.392

Final Price = $7.60
