Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai and then answer the question.

The strangers leaped out of their boats and pulled them up on the small beach. By signs, they made it clear the castaways should climb aboard.

The fishermen exchanged frightened glances and whispered to one another,

“What about Denzo and Jusuke?”

Gesturing, Manjiro communicated to the strangers about the two men in the cave. Denzo and Jusuke were retrieved, both of them so weak they had to be carried to the boats. Everyone found a place and the sailors shoved off. The two boats rowed away from the island toward an unknown future.

The sun flickered on the restless waves just as it always did. The wind blew just as steadily as it always had. Yet everything had changed. They had been rescued from the island, only to be taken captive by barbarians.

Manjiro stared at the strangers when he thought they weren’t looking. Sometimes he caught them staring at him when they thought he wasn’t looking.
What do the details in this excerpt help readers to infer about the barbarians?
A. They are just as mean and monstrous as the fishermen expect them to be.
B. They are suspicious creatures who seem to be from a place other than Earth.
C. They have a plan to humiliate the fishermen and are waiting for the right time.
D. They are just as curious about the fishermen as the fishermen are about them.

Find a probable next term for the sequence 9,20,39,72,125,204,315

Answers

Answer:

464

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is 9.

The difference between the second and first term = 20 - 9 = 11

The difference between the third and second term = 39 - 20 = 19

The difference between the fourth and third term = 72 - 39 = 33

The difference between the fifth and fourth term = 125 - 72 = 53

The difference between the sixth and fifth term = 204 - 125 = 79

The difference between the seventh and sixth term = 315 - 204 = 111

The differences are 11, 19, 33, 53, 79, 111

From the difference: 19 - 11 = 8, 33 - 19 = 14, 53 - 33 = 20, 79 - 53 = 26, 111 - 79 = 32

We can see from the first difference (8), if we add 6 we get 14, if we add another 6 we get 20, if we add 6 we get 26, if add 6 we get 32

We get the eight term using:

32 + 6 = 38

let x be the difference between the eight term and the seventh term, hence:

x - 111 = 38

x = 111 + 38

x = 149

Therefore:

eighth term - seventh term = 149

eighth term - 315 = 149

eighth term = 149 + 315

eighth term = 464

The next probable term is 464

WHERE IS THE QUESTION

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 1-50 are placed in a bag. What is the probability of selecting:

A) a number greater than 50______
B) multiple of 5________
C) a prime number _________
D) a composite number_______

Answers

A: 0

B: 10/50

C: 15/50

D: 34/50

Answers:

A)  0B)  1/5 = 0.2C) 3/10 = 0.3D) 17/25 = 0.68

Nearly all of those answers involve a fraction form and an equivalent decimal form.

===========================================

Work Shown:

Part A

The largest number in the bag is 50, so we cannot select anything larger than that. The probability of getting something larger than 50 is 0% which converts to the decimal form 0

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

Part B

List out the multiples of 5 to get {5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50}

Note how 50/5 = 10, which shows there are 10 multiples listed above.

We have 10 items in that set out of 50 items in the set {1,2,3,...,49,50}. The probability of getting a multiple of 5 is 10/50 = 1/5. This converts to the decimal form 0.2

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

Part C

The prime numbers between 1 and 50 are:

{2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47}

There are 15 items in that list out of 50 items in the bag, so 15/50 = (5*3)/(5*10) = 3/10 is the answer. Converting to decimal form gets us 3/10 = 0.3

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

Part D

There are 50 items in the bag and 15 primes. This means there are 50-15 = 35 composite items. Well this is close to the actual count. It turns out that the number "1" is not composite, and it's not prime either. So we really have 35-1 = 34 composite values.

We get 34/50 = (17*2)/(25*2) = 17/25 as the answer. That converts to 17/25 = 0.68

19. 132

20. 55

21. 120

22. 129.5

23. 61.3

Step-by-step explanation:

First look at the lines arrangment

angle 1+angle 5=180 and according to corresponing angles theorem angle 5 and angle 2 are equivalent. Angle 1+4=180

180-124=56

Angle 2+3=180

180-48=132

According to corresponding angles

angle 4=angle 7 and angle 7=angle 2 meaning angle 4=5

so angle 5=2

Like everything opposite to each other is conr=gruent

angle 8=angle 1 and angle 1=angle 6

means both angle 6 and 8 are congruent.

LOOK angle 7+3=180 means angle 2+6=180

so if ANGLE 7=50.5

6=3

180-50.5=129.5

23. angle 6 and 3 are congruent and as you know angle 7+3=180 and angle 2+6=180

angle 3+angle 6=180

180-118.7=61.3

18. Measure of angle 1=124 then angle 4=56

19.Angle 2= 48 then angle 3=132

20.Angle 4=55 then angle 2=55

21. angle 6=120 then angle 8=120

22.angle 7=50.5 then angle 6=129.5

23.angle 3=118.7 then angle 2=61.3

What is the equation of the line that is parallel
to the line y = 2x - 1 and passes through the
point (2, 7)?

Answers

Answer:

y= 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To have a parallel line they need to have the same slope.

Then you need to plot the point (2,7).

A slope of 2x means that it goes up 2 y values for every x value it goes up by. So to find the y-intercept, you need to go down 2 x values. Meaning you need to subtract 4 y values. (0,3).

y= (slope) + y-intercept

Answer:

y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

The line y = 2x -1 is written in slope-intercept form, essentially; y = mx + b, where "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y-intercept. If two lines are parallel, then they both have the same slope. So one simply has to substitute in a point on the line to find out what the y-intercept is, and assemble the equation.

2. Slope

As mentioned above, two parallel lines have the same slope. Hence the slope of the line that one is trying to find the equations of is 2.

3. y-intercpet

Substitute in the point that is given, and solve for the y-intercept.

y = mx + b

y = 2x + b

7 = 2(2) + b

7 = 4 + b

3 = b

4. Assembling what one knows

The equation of the line is;

y = 2x + 3

Were 2 is the slope, and 3 is the y-intercept.

A plumber charges $65 to make a house call plus an additional charge of $42 per hour for labor. Write an equation to represent the total cost (y) for any number of hours (x).

Answer:

the required equation to represent the total cost with respect to every hour will be

=》y = 42x + 65

Step-by-step explanation:

total cost (y) = charge to make a house call + additional charge for every our

so, total additional charge for x hours

= 42 × x = 42x

hence y = 65 + 42x ( where 65 is charge to make a house call , y is total cost and 42x is additional charge for x hours )

To amend a country's constitution 7/9 of the 69 states in that country must approve the amendment. If 52 states approve an amendment will the constitution be amended

Answers

Answer:

Constitution will not be amended.

Step-by-step explanation:

To amend the country's constitution, number of states should approve the amendment = [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex] of 69

= [tex]\frac{7}{9}\times 69[/tex]

= 53.67

≈ 53 states

But the states who approved the amendment = 52

And 52 < 53

Therefore, constitution will not be amended.

Answer:

5x + 2y = 7

3x � y = 2

multiply the second equation by 2 and leave the first equation as is to get:

5x + 2y = 7

6x � 2y = 4

add the second equation to the first equation to get:

11x = 11

divide both sides of that equation by 11 to get:

x = 1

replace x with 11 in the first original equation to get:

5x + 2y = 7 becomes 5 + 2y = 7

solve for y to get y = 1

your solution is x = 1 and y = 1

confirm by replacing x and y with 1 and 1 in both original equations to get:

5x + 2y = 7 becomes 5 + 2 = 7 which is true.

Convert 0.55555 into a fraction

Answers

Answer:

11111/20000

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the decimal 0.55555 to a fraction, just follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:

0.55555 = 0.555551

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 5 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 100000. So,

0.555551 = (0.55555 × 100000)(1 × 100000) = 55555100000.

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) between them. In this case, GCD(55555,100000) = 5. So,

(55555÷5)(100000÷5) = 1111120000 when reduced to the simplest form.

The value of the fraction is A = ( 11111 / 20000 )

What is a Fraction?

An element of a whole is a fraction. The number is represented mathematically as a quotient, where the numerator and denominator are split. Both are integers in a simple fraction. A fraction appears in the numerator or denominator of a complex fraction. The numerator of a proper fraction is less than the denominator.

Given data ,

Let the fraction be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

Let the decimal number be represented as D

Now , the value of D = 0.55555

Multiply the number D by 100000 on both the numerator and denominator

And , the fraction is A = D x 100000 / 100000

A = 55555/100000

Divide by 5 on both the numerator and the denominator , we get

A = ( 11111 / 20000 )

Hence , the fraction is A = ( 11111 / 20000 )
