MM can someone answer this riddle


Animal riddle
In reply to an inquiry about the animals on his farm, the farmer says: “I only ever keep sheep, goats, and horses. In fact, at the moment they are all sheep bar three, all goats bar four, and all horses bar five.” How many does he have of each animal?

Answers

Answer 1

Here’s the answer & how to find it! So let us suppose,

X : the no. of sheep he owns

Y : the no. of goats he owns

Z : the no. of horses he owns

This means,

X + Y + Z = Total no. of animals he owns

He says that “They are all sheep bar three.” Which means, the no. of animals other than sheep is 3, i.e.

Y + Z = 3

Similarly,

X + Z = 4 and X + Y = 5

On adding all the three equations, we get

2 ( X + Y + Z ) = 12

This implies,

X + Y + Z = 6

This means that the farmers has a total of 6 animals. And on further solving the equations we find that the he has 3 sheep, 2 goats and a horse.

Rasu made some chocolate milk. She added 3 tsp. Of cocoa mix with 2 cups of milk. Farah also made some chocolate milk. She added 5 tsp. Of cocoa mix to 3 cups of milk. Which mixture is more chocolatey flavored (stronger chocolate flavor)? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

The correct answer is Farah's mixture

Explanation:

In this situation, how strong chocolate flavor is in the mix depends on the ratio of ingredients as more cocoa leads to a stronger chocolate flavor.

Rasu:

Her ratio was 3 teaspoons of cocoa mix and 2 cups of milk. This can be expressed as 3:2  or [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]. Also, this can be simplified by dividing the amount of cocoa into the amount of milk 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5. This means for each cup of milk Rasu added 1.5 teaspoons of cocoa.

Farah:

The ratio was 5 teaspoons of cocoa mix and 3 cups of milk. So, the ratio is 5 : 3 or [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex], which is equal to 1.6. This implies for each cup of milk Farah added 1.6 teaspoons of cocoa. This ratio of cocoa vs milk is higher in Farah, which means he added more cocoa, and her mix would have a stronger chocolate flavor.

In the next several games, the pitcher threw a total of 384 pitches and used a fastball 240 times. What decimal should Juanita use to update her report? Juanita should use the decimal to update her report. How do you know that the answer is a terminating decimal?

Answers

Answer:

0.625

It has 3 digits (finite) after the decimal point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total number of pitches = 384

Total number of fasfballs = 240

To make an update :

Ratio of the number of fastballs and total number of pitches

240 : 384

240/384

= 0.625

The result is a terminating decimal as it has a known number of digits after the decimal point. In the solution above, 0.625 has 3 digits after the decimal point and it is thus a terminating decimal.

Answer:

The last choice is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Least Common Multiple (LCM)

To find the LCM we can follow this procedure:

List the prime factors of each monomial.

Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either factor.

We have two monomials:

[tex]12a^4b^2c^5[/tex]

[tex]40a^3b^7c^1[/tex]

The prime factors of the first monomial are:

[tex]2^2,3,a^4,b^2,c^5[/tex]

The prime factors of the second monomial are:

[tex]2^3,5,a^3b^7c^1[/tex]

LCM = Multiply [tex]2^3*3*5*a^4*b^7*c^5[/tex]

These are all the factors the greatest number of times they occur.

Operating:

[tex]LCM=8*15*a^4*b^7*c^5[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{LCM=120a^4b^7c^5}[/tex]

Find two consecutive integers whose sum is eleven less than three times the smaller integer.

Answers

Answer:

If you call the smaller integer "x" and the greater integer "y", then:

x+y=3x-11             The sum of the two is 11 less than 3 times the smaller

y=x+1                    Because they are consecutive, the greater must be 1 more than the smaller

Then you can solve for x:

x+(x+1)=3x-11       Substitute x+1 for y

2x+1=3x-11            Combine like terms

2x+12=3x               Add 11 to both sides

12=x                      Subtract 2x from both sides

The smaller integer is 12, thus the greater integer is 1 more or 13.

Check:

12+13=3(12)-11

25=36-11

25=25                       Yes, so the integers are 12 and 13

a.What is the length of A’A?
b.What is the length of B’B
Both in units

Answers

Answer:

A'A = 18 units, B'B = 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ ACB and Δ A'CB' are similar triangles, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{AC}{A'C}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AB}{A'B'}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{AC}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{20}{8}[/tex] ( cross-  multiply )

8AC = 240 ( divide both sides by 8 )

AC = 30

Thus A'A = AC - A'C = 30 - 12 = 18 units

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

and

[tex]\frac{CB}{CB'}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AB}{A'B'}[/tex] , that is

[tex]\frac{CB}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{20}{8}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

8CB = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

CB = 15

Thus

B'B = CB - CB' = 15 - 6 = 9 units

A cannery processed 785 pounds of strawberries in 5.5 hours. The cannery processed 1550 pounds in 10 hours. Write a linear equation to model the relationship between the weight of strawberries S and time T. How many pounds of strawberries can be processed in 8 hours?

Answers

Answer: 1240 in 8 hours

Explanation: I used my TI 84 Plus Calculator

The Equation is s = 170 t - 150 and 1210 pounds of strawberries can be processed in 8 hours.

What is Slope?

A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,

m = Δy/Δx where, m is the slope

Given:

A cannery processed 785 pounds of strawberries in 5.5 hours.

and, The cannery processed 1550 pounds in 10 hours.

let S be weight of strawberries and T be the Time.

So,

slope = (1550 - 785) / (10 - 5.5)

         = 170

Using slope- intercept form

y = mx + b

1550 = 170 (10) + b

b= -150

Then, y = 170 x - 150

and the equation is s = 170 t - 150

At t= 8 hour

s= 170x 8 - 150

s = 1210 pound.

Answers

Answer: The greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare = 4

and there will be 3 chickens and 4 rolls in each plate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Lenin is preparing dinner plates. He has 12 pieces of chicken and 16 rolls.

To make all the plates identical without any food left over, the greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare = G.C.D.(12,16)=4

The number of pieces of chicken in each plate = [tex]\dfrac{12}{4}=3[/tex]

The number of pieces of rolls in each plate = [tex]\dfrac{16}{4}=4[/tex]

So,  the greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare = 4

and there will be 3 chickens and 4 rolls in each plate.
