a circle graph shows how the megatech corporation allocates its research and development budget : 13 % microphotonics ; 24 % home electronics ; 15 % food additives ; 29 % genetically modified microorganisms ; 8 % industrial lubricants ; and the remainder for basic astrophysics . if the arc of each sector of the graph is proportional to the percentage of the budget it represents , how many degrees of the circle are used to represent basic astrophysics research ?
"here all percentage when summed we need to get 100 % . as per data 13 + 24 + 15 + 29 + 8 = 89 % . so remaining 11 % is the balance for the astrophysics . since this is a circle all percentage must be equal to 360 degrees . 100 % - - - - 360 degrees then 11 % will be 40 degrees . . imo option b ."

this question can be solved with the average formula and ' bunching . ' we ' re asked for the average of all of the multiples of 10 from 10 to 500 , inclusive . to start , we can figure out the total number of terms rather easily : 1 ( 10 ) = 10 2 ( 10 ) = 20 . . . 50 ( 10 ) = 500 so we know that there are 50 total numbers . we can now figure out the sum of those numbers with ' bunching ' : 10 + 500 = 510 20 + 490 = 510 30 + 480 = 510 etc . since there are 50 total terms , this pattern will create 25 ' pairs ' of 510 . thus , since the average = ( sum of terms ) / ( number of terms ) , we have . . .

in the xy - coordinate system , if ( m , n ) and ( m 1 2 , n 1 k ) are two points on the line with the equation x 5 2 y 1 5 , then k 5
step 1 : analyze the question for any question involving the equation of a line , a good place to start is the slope - intercept form of the line , y = mx 1 b . remember that if you have two points on a line , you can derive the entire equation , and if you have an equation of the line , you can calculate any points on that line . step 2 : state the task we are solving for k , which is the amount by which the y - coordinate increases when the x - coordinate increases by 2 . step 3 : approach strategically the slope of a line is the ratio between the change in y and the change in x . in other words , every time the x - coordinate increases by 1 , the y - coordinate increases by the amount of the slope . the equation of the line in the question stem is defined as x = 2 y + 5 . we must isolate y to have slope - intercept form : so the slope of this line is 1 / 2 . this means that for every change of + 1 in the x direction , there is a change of + 1 / 2 in the y direction . then we know that , because there is an increase in 2 units in the x direction when moving from m to m + 2 , there must be a change of 1 unit in the y direction when moving from n to n + k . so k = 1 . since there are variables that eventually cancel ( m and n are not part of the answers ) , we can pick numbers . let ’ s say that you choose the y - coordinate of the point ( m , n ) to be 0 to allow for easier calculations . using the equation we ’ re given to relate x - and y - coordinates , we can calculate the x - coordinate : so ( m , n ) is the point ( 5 , 0 ) . now we ’ ll plug our values of m and n into the next point : ( m + 2 , n + k ) . that yields ( 7 , k ) . all we have to do is plug an x - coordinate of 7 into the equation to solve for k , the y - coordinate : answer is b

divide(add(70, multiply(70, divide(const_1, const_2))), subtract(80, 70))
a train sets off at 9 : 00 am at the speed of 70 km / h . another train starts at 10 : 30 am in the same direction at the rate of 80 km / h . at what time will the second train catch the first train ?
in one hour and thirty minutes the first train travels 105 km . the second train catches the first train at a rate of 80 km / h - 70 km / h = 10 km / h . the second train will catch the first train in 105 / 10 = 10.5 hours , so at 9 : 00 pm . the answer is c .
a = 1 / 2 b = 70 * a c = 70 + b d = 80 - 70 e = c / d
