Jody and her friends are playing a game in which the person who scores closest to zero points after three rounds wins! Jody's friend Robyn scored 5 points in the first round, lost 8 points in the second round, and scored 4 points in the third round. Jody scored 10 points in the first round and lost 4 points in the second round. What will Jody need to score in the third round to win the game? (3 points)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Jody needs to lose the third round by 6 points to win the game.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of the game is the person who scores closest to zero points after three rounds win.

Robyn scored 5 points in the first round, lost 8 points in the second round, and scored 4 points in the third round.

So, total points for Robyn = 5-8+4=1

So, the magnitude of the closeness of Robyn's score from zero

=|1-0|=1

Jody scored 10 points in the first round and lost 4 points in the second round.

Let Jody score x point in the third round.

Total points for Jody= 10-4+x=6+x

So, the magnitude of the closeness of Jody's score from zero

=|6+x-0|=|6+x|

The condition for Jody to win the game is his points must be closer to zero than Robyn's points, i.e

|6+x|<1

Case 1: If  [tex]x\geq -6[/tex],

6+x<1

[tex]\Rightarrow x<-5[/tex], which is not possible for this case.

Case 2: If  [tex]x\leq -6[/tex],

-(6+x)<1

[tex]\Rightarrow x+6>1[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x>-5[/tex]

For this case [tex]x= -6[/tex] is the only possibility.

So, Jody must score -6 in the third round to win the game. i.e Jody needs to lose the third round by 6 points.

X/2+3/8=1
What does x equal

Answers

Answer: X = 5/4

X/2 + 3/8 = 1

Subtract 3/8 from both sides.

X/2 = 1 - 3/8

Simplify 1 - 3/8

X/2 = 5/8

Multiply both sides by 2.

X = 10/8

Simplify 10/8

X = 5/4

Answer:

x=5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3/8 from both sides.

Then simplify.

Multiply both sides by 2.

And then simplify again.

What percent of 185 is 70?
(please show work)

Answers

Answer:

37.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 185 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=185.

Step 4: In the same vein, x%=70.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=185(1).

x%=70(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left-hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100% / x% = 185 / 70

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

x% / 100% = 70/185

---> = 37.84%

Therefore, 70 is 37.84% of 185.

Jordan has 3 blue shirts, 4 red shirts and 6 orange shirts. She chooses a shirt for Monday and places it in her suitcase. Then, she chooses a shirt for Tuesday. What is the probability that she choose a red shirt for Monday and an orange shirt for Tuesday?

Answers

Answer:

30% on Monday 46% on Tuesday

Step-by-step explanation:

Well you have 3 blue shirts 4 red shirts and 6 orange shirts so what you have to do is add all them together to make it a fraction which you would do 3+4+6 which is 13/13 so the probability of her wearing a red shirt on Monday would be 4/13 since there are 4 red shirts and 13 in total so we make 4/13 as a fraction which would give us 30% chance she would choose a red shirt on Monday and for Tuesday we do the same thing but instead we use orange shirts so which is 6/13 which would give her a percentage of 46% on Tuesday it's more closer to half than the red shirts because 6 pretty much half of 13 but since 13 is a odd number it isn't  half because half of 13 is 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Sine rule in Δ QRS , that is

[tex]\frac{q}{sinQ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{r}{sinR}[/tex] , that is

[tex]\frac{15}{sinQ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{sin50.1}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

12× sinQ = 15 × sin50.1° ( divide both sides by 12 )

sinQ = [tex]\frac{15sin50.1}{12}[/tex] , thus

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Rate (r) = 8% =. 0.08

Period (t) = 25 years

Yearly withdrawal = cashflow = P= $30,000

Using the present value formula (PV) :

Present Value (PV) = P[(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]

PV = 30000((1 - (1 + 0.08)^-25) / 0.08)

PV = $320,243.29

B.) Total amount pulled out :

Yearly withdrawal * number of years

$25000 * 25 = 625,000

C.)

Interest :

$625000 - $320,243.29 = $304,756.71

problem 1: h=a/b problem 2: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First problem: a=bh

First you have to flip the equation so bh=a

Next you have to divide both sides by b.

bh/b=a/b

so h=a/b

Second problem: 45ft is the area and 9ft is the base so to find the height you have to divide the area by the base

If you only have the base and height you would multiply them to find the area. If you only have area and height you divide area by height to get base.

You have to divide 45 by 9, the answer would be 5.
