Castanea received the first 2 of Christopher Paolini's books from the inheritance cycle and was very excited to start reading them over the winter break. The first book - Eragon - had 530 pages.
Castenea reads 1 page every 72 seconds How long in hours : minutes : seconds, did it take her to finish the book?

(Example: A total of 6264 seconds is equal to 1 hour 44 minutes 20 seconds)

Castanea finished Eragon on the 3rd day of her break and continued to the 2nd book "Eldest". If she continued to read at the same rate, and it took a total of 14 hours 8 minutes and 24 seconds to finish reading "Eldest", how many pages were in Eldest (the second book) ?


Answers

Answer 1

Using arithmetic operations it is found that -

It took Castenea 10 hours and 36 minutes to finish the first book Eragon.

The number of pages in Castenea's second book Eldest is 707.

What is arithmetic operation?

A subject of mathematics known as arithmetic operations deals with the study and use of numbers in all other branches of mathematics. Basic operations including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are included.

The number of pages in Eragon is = 530 pages

The rate for Castanea's reading is = 1 page/72 seconds

The time taken by Castanea to finish the first book is -

Time Taken = Number of Pages × Time taken to read 1 page

Use the arithmetic operation of multiplication.

Substitute the values in the equation -

Time Taken = 530 × 72

Time Taken = 38160 seconds

To convert seconds into minutes use the arithmetic operation of division.

38160 / 60 = 636 minutes

To convert minutes into hour use the arithmetic operation of division.

636 / 60 = 10.6 hour

Therefore, it took Castanea 10 hours 36 minutes to finish the first book.

The time took by Castanea to finish the second book = 14 hours 8 minutes and 24 seconds

To convert hours into minutes use the arithmetic operation of multiplication.

14 × 60 = 840 minutes

To convert minutes into seconds use the arithmetic operation of multiplication.

848 × 60 = 50880 seconds

Use the arithmetic operation of addition to get the total seconds -

50880 + 24 = 50904 seconds

The rate for Castanea's reading is = 1 page/72 seconds

The number of pages in Castanea's second book is -

Number of Pages = Time Taken in total/Time taken to read 1 page

Use the arithmetic operation of division.

Substitute the values in the equation -

Number of Pages = 50904/72

Number of Pages = 707

Therefore, there were seven pages in the second book.

a) Divide 260 in the ratio 1:3​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number = 260

Ratio would be 1 : 3

So, the first part is given by

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x 260

=[tex]\frac{260}{4}[/tex]

=65

And the second part is given by

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x 260

=[tex]\frac{780}{4}[/tex]

=195

Hence, the first and second part are 65 and 195 respectively.

At a local play, student tickets cost $5 each and adult tickets cost $11 each. if ticket sales were $3,000 for 300 tickets, how many students attended the play? a. 50 b. 150 c. 250d. 300

Answers

This problem can be solved used linear equations. Here there are two variables, number of students and number of adults. After calculations we get the number of students attended the play is 50.

Lets consider the number of students is x and number of adults is y.

Total tickets sold = 300

    x + y = 300  ------------ equation 1

The amount of total tickets sold is 3000.

Amount sold to students = 5x

Amount sold to adults = 11y

  So, 5x+11y =3000 ----------- equation 2

Equating the x term for equation 1

 Multiplying both sides with 5

 5 (x+y) = 5 × 300

 5x + 5y = 1500 ---------- equation 3

Subtracting equation 3 from equation 2

   5x + 11y = 3000

-  ( 5x + 5y = 1500)

    6y = 1500

    y = 1500/6 = 250

Number of adult attended = 250

From equation 1, x+y = 300

Substituting the value of y

                x + 250 = 300

                    x    = 300-250 = 50

So number of students attended is 50

Answers

The solution of the system of equations:

-2x - 10y = -2

-4y = x

is the point (-4, 1).

How to solve the system of equations?

Here we want to solve the system of equations below:

-2x - 10y = -2

-4y = x

By the substitution method, to do so, we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations and then replace that in the other equation.

We can see that x = -4y is already isolated on the second equation, then we can replace this on the first one to get:

-2*(-4y) - 10y = -2

We can solve this for y.

8y - 10y = -2

-2y = -2

y = -2/-2 = 1

And thus, the value of x is:

x = -4y

x = -4*1 = -4

Second step: multiply the place values and add the results to the table. Step 3: Add up all of the table's rows. Step 4: Add the sums of these rows.

Placing the first word in the first box and the last term in the last box is the first step in utilizing the box technique to factor a trinomial. Multiply the first and last boxes after that.

Evaluate the like terms

6x = 48

Divide by 6

x = 8

Given that

MP = 9x - 34

We have

MP = 9 * 8 - 34

Evaluate

MP = 38

Hence, the length of MP is 38 units

earle bailey has 20 songs to choose from but can play only 7 in the next half-hour on sirius xm classic.how many different (ordered) playlists are possible

Answers

Applying combination, the number of playlist is: 75,435.

How to Apply Combination to Solve a Problem?

A combination is a way of selecting a certain number of items from a larger set, without regard to the order of the items.

The number of possible playlists would be the number of ways to select 7 songs out of 20 without regard to order, which is commonly known as a combination.

The formula for combination is nCr, where n is the total number of items and r is the number of items being chosen at a time. So in this case, the number of possible playlists would be 20C7.

This can also be written as 20!/(7!*13!)

The answer is 75,435

a light post casts a shadow on a small boy. the boy, who is 4 feet 6 inches tall, notices that his shadow is 3 feet 4 inches long. he decided that if he measures how far he is from the light post, he can determine how tall the post is from the ground. explain how he can figure out the height of the light post. use mathematical reasoning.

Answers

The small boy can use the mathematical reasoning of similar triangles and the concept of ratios to determine the height of the light post.

Similar triangles are triangles that have the same shape but can have different sizes. In this case, the shadow of the boy, the boy himself, and the light post form similar triangles.

Let h be the height of the light post, x be the distance between the boy and the light post, and s be the length of the shadow, we can use the following ratios -

(boy's height) / (boy's shadow) = (light post height) / (light post shadow)

i.e. (4 feet 6 inches) / (3 feet 4 inches) = (h) / (x)

Now, we can find the height of the light post by using the above equation and the given values of the boy's height and the shadow.

The small boy can measure the distance between him and the light post, and he can use this value in the above equation to determine the height of the light post. The equation is h/x = (4.5)/(3.33)

This is the ratio of the height of the light post and the distance between the boy and the light post, so h = (4.5 * x) / (3.33)

In this way, the small boy can use the mathematical reasoning of similar triangles and the concept of ratios to determine the height of the light post.
