Answer:
You can create the fewest centerpieces for the smallest number of any color, which is 2 centerpieces using the white flowers. Therefore, you will have 2 centerpieces with an equal number of each color of flower in each centerpiece.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the GCD of 90, 54, and 36:
Find the GCD of 90 and 54:
GCD(90, 54) = 18
Find the GCD of the result (18) and 36:
GCD(18, 36) = 18
So, the GCD of 90, 54, and 36 is 18.
Now, you can create centerpieces with 18 flowers of each color (yellow, red, and white) in each centerpiece. To find out how many centerpieces you can create, divide the total number of each color by 18:
Number of yellow flowers / 18 = 90 / 18 = 5 centerpieces
Number of red flowers / 18 = 54 / 18 = 3 centerpieces
Number of white flowers / 18 = 36 / 18 = 2 centerpieces
You can create the fewest centerpieces for the smallest number of any color, which is 2 centerpieces using the white flowers. Therefore, you will have 2 centerpieces with an equal number of each color of flower in each centerpiece.
increasing at a rate that will supply food for an additional 10,000 people per year.
c. At what point does the population exceed the food supply? Justify your response.
Answer:
After 5 years (2015)
Step-by-step explanation:
The population is increasing 5% per year, so the first year it will be 1.05 of the initial, the next year 1.05x1.05 of the initial, and then successively, so, for n years:
P(n) = 600,000*(1.05)ⁿ
The food suply increase 10,000 people per year, so the first year will be 10,000 + the initial, the next year 10,000 + 10,000 + the initial, and then successively, so, for n years:
F(n) = 70,000 + 10,000*n
So
P(n) > F(n)
600,000*(1.05)ⁿ > 70,000 + 10,000*n
(1.05)ⁿ > 1.167 + 0.0167n
Solving in a computer:
n > 4.42
So, after 5 years the population exceed the food supply.
Answer:
a)3/12 = 1/4
b)6/12 = 1/2
c)9/12 = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance traveled by the hour hand, subtract the beginning position from the ending position. For example, in a, the distance traveled between 4:00 and 7:00 is three hours. Since there are 12 total hours on a clock, the fraction would be 3/12 (traveled/whole revolution). Simplify further to get 1/4.
The other two problems are very similar to the explanation above. Treat the second problem's ending time as 14:00, since it is two hours after 12:00.
Hope this helps!
