suppose that m and n are positive integers that are co-prime. what is the probability that a randomly chosen positive integer less than mnmn is divisible by either mm or nn?

Answers

Answer 1

Let A be the set of positive integers less than mnmn. We want to find the probability that a randomly chosen element of A is divisible by either m or n. Let B be the set of positive integers less than mnmn that are divisible by m, and let C be the set of positive integers less than mnmn that are divisible by n.

The number of elements in B is m times the number of positive integers less than or equal to mn that are divisible by m, which is [tex]\frac{mn}{m} = n[/tex]. Thus, |B| = n. Similarly, the number of elements in C is m times the number of positive integers less than or equal to mn that are divisible by n, which is [tex]\frac{mn}{m} = n[/tex]. Thus, |C| = m.

However, we have counted the elements in B intersection C twice, since they are divisible by both m and n. The number of positive integers less than or equal to mn that are divisible by both m and n is , where lcm(m,n) denotes the least common multiple of m and n. Since m and n are co-prime, we have [tex]lcm(m,n)=mn[/tex], so the number of elements in B intersection C is [tex]\frac{mn}{mn} = 1[/tex].

Therefore, by the principle of inclusion-exclusion, the number of elements in D is:

|D| = |B| + |C| - |B intersection C| = n + m - 1 = n + m - gcd(m,n)

The probability that a randomly chosen element of A is in D is therefore:

|D| / |A| = [tex]\frac{(n + m - gcd(m,n))}{(mnmn)}[/tex]

Num projeto, o desenho de um jardim tem a forma de um triângulo retângulo onde a hipotenusa mede 4,5 cm. A escala utilizada foi de 1:200. Qual é o comprimento real desse lado do jardim (hipotenusa)? Apresenta a resposta em metros.

Answers

Answer:

9 metros

Step-by-step explanation:

Da pergunta acima

Fator de escala =

Medida correspondente: Representação do objeto

= 1: 200cm

Conseqüentemente:

1 cm = 200 cm

4,5 cm = x cm

x cm = 4,5 × 200 cm

x cm = 900 cm

O comprimento real deste lado do triângulo (hipotenusa) = 900cm

Pediram-nos para converter para metros

100cm = 1 m

900cm = xm

Multiplicação cruzada

100 cm × xm = 900 cm × 1 m

xm = 900 cm × 1 m / 100cm

xm = 9m

O comprimento real deste lado do triângulo (hipotenusa) em metros = 9 metros

A set of pens sells for $5.25 and costs $1.80 to make. Forty percent of the profit (the difference between the purchase price and the amount it costs to make) from each set of pencils goes to a school. If 1200 sets are sold, what is the amount of money that will go to the school?

Answers

The amount of money that will go to the school is $ 3816.00

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

The sale price of set of pens = $ 5.25

The cost price of set of pens = $ 1.80

The profit of pens = sale price of set of pens - cost price of set of pens

                              = $ 5.25 - $ 1.80

                              = $ 3.45

Now , the equation will be

Forty percentage of profit = ( 40 / 100 ) x $ 3.45

                                           = $ 1.38

The amount that will go to the school =
Forty percentage of profit + cost price of set of pens

The amount that will go to the school for 1 set of pen = $ 1.38 + $ 1.80

                                                                                        = $ 3.18

The equation will be ,

Now , the total number of sets of pens sold = 1200

And , the total cost price of 1200 sets of pens =
cost price of set of pens x 1200

The total cost price of 1200 sets of pens = $ 1.80 x 1200

                                                                   = $ 2160

The total profit of 1200 sets of pens = Forty percentage of profit x 1200

                                                            = $ 1.38 x 1200

                                                            = $ 1656

Therefore , the amount that will go to the school for 1200 sets of pens =
total cost price of 1200 sets of pens + total profit of 1200 sets of pens

The amount that will go to the school for 1200 sets of pens
= $ 2160 + $ 1656

The amount that will go to the school for 1200 sets of pens  = $ 3816

Therefore ,

The amount that will go to the school = $ 3816.00

Hence , The amount of money that will go to the school is $ 3816.00

Shirley went shopping in a mall. She reached the mall 12.5 minutes later than her usual time. While returning she took 20 minutes more than twice her usual time to reach home. If the usual time she takes to reach the mall is 40 minutes, find the total number of minutes Shirley spent going and coming back from the mall.

Answers

Answer:

Total time Shirley spent  going and coming back from the mall= 152.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Usual time it takes to reach mall from home = 40 minutes

New time she took to reach the mall=12.5 minutes later than her usual time

= 40 minutes + 12.5 minutes= 52.5 minutes

New time she took to reach home ( lets assume she followed the same route as coming from home in which she spends 40 minutes) =20 minutes more than twice her usual time to reach home.=20 minutes + 2(40)= 20 minutes  + 80 minutes

=100 minutes

Total time  going and coming back from the mall =52.5 minutes  +100 minutes = 152.5 minutes

how to factor this expression

x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16

Answers

x²(x - 4) +4 (x - 4)

(x² + 4) (x - 4)

First find the common terms that can enter into both x³ and 4x² then write its down in this case it’s x² that can enter x³ leaving only x _since x³/x² = subtract of the indices. x² will also enter 4x² leaving only four hence you having x² (x - 4)
then do the same for the next pair of terms giving you 4 that can enter into both 4 and 16
Leaving you with +4 (x - 4)

Now you can put the common terms together like so (x² + 4) and choose get one of the other two which are the same= (x - 4)
= (x² + 4) (x - 4)

An archaeologist used string to make a grid over an area
where she was digging. She discovered a bowl buried at
(1,4) and a tool at (3, 10) on her grid. She suspected that an
item was buried at the midpoint of the segment connecting
the bowl and the tool. At which position on her grid should
the archaeologist dig to look for the buried item?

Answers

Answer:

option a c d are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

    Since, the item was burried at the midpoint of the segment joining bowl and the tool. Archaeologist should dig at the midpoint which is at (2, 7).

Mid-point of a segment joining two points: If two points (a, b) and (c, d) are joined by a line segemnt, coordinates of the midpoint will be,

        Mid-point = [tex](\frac{a+c}{2},\frac{b+d}{2})[/tex]

Given points representing a bowl and a tool are (1, 4) and (3, 10).

Since, an item is burried at the midpoint of the segment joining bowl and tool,

Use the expression for the position of the mid-point of the segment.

Position of the item → [tex](\frac{1+3}{2},\frac{4+10}{2})[/tex]

                                 → (2, 7)

       Hence, position of the burried item will be at (2, 7).
