Given:
A number when divided by 780 gives remainder 38.
To find:
The reminder that would be obtained by dividing same number by 26.
Solution:
According to Euclis' division algorithm,
...(i)
Where, q is quotient and
is the remainder.
It is given that a number when divided by 780 gives remainder 38.
Substituting
in (i), we get

So, given number is in the form of
, where q is an integer.
On dividing
by 26, we get




Since q is an integer, therefore (30q+1) is also an integer but
is not an integer. Here 26 is divisor and 12 is remainder.
Therefore, the required remainder is 12.
After 12 hours the pound would have 720 pounds of algae.
Answer:
The coefficient is "12"
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Encircle the variable along with its power whose coefficient we are finding.
Step 2: Leave that variable and consider all other numbers or variables written with it. That will be the coefficient.
425/1700 = 0.25
