She will go for 7 trips if she has 15 1/2 gallons of water

<h3>Proportion and equations</h3>

From the given information, Ellen can carry 1 3/8 gallons of water each trip, this means:

1 trip = 11/8 gallons

In order to calculate the number of trips, it will take to make 15 1/2 gallons of water, we will have:

x = 21/2 gallons

Take the ratios of both expressions:

1/x = 11/8 * 2/21

1/x = 22/168

x = 168/22

x = 7.64 trips

Hence she will go for 7 trips if she has 15 1/2 gallons of water

If (1, y) is on the graph, then y = ____________ a0.

Debora [2.8K]

If <span>y = -x + 7, and (-1,y) is on the graph, then the following is true: y=-(-1) + 7, or y=8.

Thus, y = a0 = 8.</span>

Prove the divisibility of the following numbers:

Brut [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove divisibility, we need to factor the divident such that one of its factors matches the divisor.

(I use the notation x|y to denote that x divides y)

(A)

$75^{30}|45^{45}\cdot15^{15}\\45^{45}\cdot15^{15}=3^{45}\cdot 15^{45}\cdot 15^{15}=\\=3^{45}\cdot 15^{60}=3^{45}\cdot 15^{30}\cdot 15^{30}=3^{45}\cdot (3\cdot5)^{30}\cdot 15^{30}=\\=3^{45}\cdot 3^{30}\cdot(5\cdot 15)^{30}=3^{45}\cdot 3^{30}\cdot(75)^{30}\\\implies\\75^{30}|3^{45}\cdot 3^{30}\cdot75^{30}$

(B)

$72^{63}|24^{54}\cdot 54^{24}\cdot2^{10}\\24^{54}\cdot 54^{24}\cdot2^{10}=(2^{162}\cdot 3^{54})\cdot(2^{24}\cdot 3^{72}) \cdot 2^{10}\\=2^{196}\cdot 3^{126}$

In this case, it is easier to also factor the divisor to primes:

$72^{63}=2^{189}\cdot 3^{126}$

Both of these factor must be matched in the dividend in order to prove divisibility, and that indeed turns out to be true:

$2^{189}\cdot 3^{126}|2^{196}\cdot 3^{126}\implies\\2^{189}|2^{196}\,\,\mbox{and}\,\,3^{126}|3^{126}$
