if jake loses 8 pounds , he will weigh twice as much as his sister . together they now weigh 278 pounds . what is jake ’ s present weight , in pounds ?
Let's call Jake's present weight J and his sister's weight S. According to the problem, if Jake loses 8 pounds, he will weigh twice as much as his sister. So we can write the equation: J - 8 = 2S (1) We also know that together they now weigh 278 pounds, so we can write another equation: J + S = 278 (2) Now we ha...

During an 8-hour Relay for Life event, I walked on a route with varying elevations.

To calculate the total distance covered during the event, we need to consider the pace at which you walked during each 2-hour segment and the elevation changes. For the first 2 hours, you walked at a pace of 2 miles per hour. So in 2 hours, you would have covered: 2 hours * 2 miles/hour = 4 miles After every 2 hours,...

How many integers \(n\) satisfy \((n+5)(n-9) \le 0\)?
The inequality \((n+5)(n-9) \le 0\) suggests that the product of the two factors \((n+5)\) and \((n-9)\) is less than or equal to zero.

Dr. Van Helsing opens a savings account that has an annual interest rate of 8 percent but it compounds quarterly. If this is equivalent to a bank account that compounds annually at a rate of $r$ percent, then what is $r$? (Give your answer to the nearest hundredth.)
The bank account compounds quarterly at an interest rate of $8/4 = 2$ percent per quarter. Therefore, the equivalent annual interest rate, compounded annually, must be calculated as follows: - The interest factor for each quarter is: $1 + 0.02 = 1.02$. - Therefore, over one year (four quarters), the compounded interest...

There are some players on a football team, 31 are throwers. The rest of the team is divided so one third are left-handed and the rest are right-handed. Assuming that all throwers are right-handed, there are 57 right-handed players in total. How many players are there on the football team?
Let's denote the total number of players on the football team as \( P \). We know that there are 31 throwers, and all of them are right-handed. So, the number of right-handed players that are not throwers is \( 57 - 31 = 26 \). The problem states that the rest of the team, excluding the throwers, is divided into one ...

If the real number \( x \) satisfies \( \log_{2} x = \log_{4}(2x) + \log_{8}(4x) \), then \( x = \) ?
To solve the equation involving logarithms, \(\log_{2} x = \log_{4}(2x) + \log_{8}(4 x)\), we will first convert all logarithms to have the same base, base 2. 1. **Convert the logarithms to base 2:** \[ \log_{4}(2x) = \frac{\log_{2}(2x)}{\log_{2}(4)} = \frac{\log_{2}(2x)}{2} \] \[ \log_{8}(4x) =...

If 90 percent of 600 is 50 percent of x, what is the value of x?
To find the value of x, we can set up the following equation: 90% of 600 = 50% of x First, we convert the percentages to decimals: 0.90 * 600 = 0.50 * x Now, we can solve for x: 540 = 0.50 * x To find x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.50: x = 540 / 0.50 x = 1080 Therefore, the value of x is $\boxed{1...

On a particular week, Fatima's restaurant served 25 people food and drinks, and 3/5 of that number came to buy coffee. How many people did not buy coffee in the restaurant?
To solve this problem, we start by calculating the number of customers who bought coffee in the restaurant. Since 3/5 of the customers came to buy coffee, we multiply the total number of customers by 3/5: \[ \frac{3}{5} \times 25 = 15 \] This means that 15 customers bought coffee. To find out how many customers did n...

A man rows his boat 120 km downstream and some distance upstream, taking 2 hours each time. The speed of the stream is 15 km/h. How far did he row upstream?
Let's denote the speed of the boat in still water as \(V_b\) and the speed of the stream as \(V_s\). We are given that \(V_s = 15\) km/h. When the man is rowing downstream, the effective speed of the boat is the sum of the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the stream, so the downstream speed is \(V_b +...

Lucy put sixty-eight shells in her bucket. She found some more shells and now she has eighty-nine shells. How many more shells did she find?
Lucy originally had 68 shells and now has 89 shells. To find out how many more shells she found, subtract the original number of shells from the new total: 89 (total shells now) - 68 (original shells) = 21 shells Lucy found $\boxed{21}$ more shells.

two tains are running in opposite directions with the same speed . if the length of each train is 120 metres and they cross each other in 12 seconds , then the speed of each train ( in km / hr ) is :
When two trains are running in opposite directions and cross each other, the relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds. Since both trains have the same speed, let's denote the speed of each train as 'v'. The total distance covered when the trains cross each other is the sum of their lengths. So, the total d...

There are 40 students in a class. If 1/10 are absent, a certain fraction of the students who are present are in the classroom, and the rest are in the canteen. There are 9 students in the canteen. What fraction of the students who are present are in the classroom?
First, let's find out how many students are absent. Since 1/10 of the students are absent, we can calculate this as: Absent students = 1/10 * 40 = 4 students Now, let's find out how many students are present: Present students = Total students - Absent students Present students = 40 - 4 = 36 students We know that th...

If $\frac{1}{8}$ of $2^{36}$ is $8^x$, what is the value of $x$?
We start by simplifying $\frac{1}{8} \cdot 2^{36}$: \[ \frac{1}{8} \cdot 2^{36} = \frac{2^{36}}{2^3} = 2^{36-3} = 2^{33} \] Next, we express $8^x$ as a power of 2: \[ 8^x = (2^3)^x = 2^{3x} \] Setting these equal gives: \[ 2^{33} = 2^{3x} \] Equating the exponents leads to: \[ 3x = 33 \implies x = \frac{33}{3} = \boxed...

Paul had 78.0 strawberries in his basket. He ate 42.0 of them. How many strawberries does he now have.
Paul had 78.0 strawberries and ate 42.0 of them. To find out how many strawberries he has now, we subtract the number of strawberries he ate from the number he had originally: 78.0 - 42.0 = 36.0 Paul now has $\boxed{36.0}$ strawberries left in his basket.

Paige was helping her mom plant flowers in 8 flowerbeds. They planted 32 seeds altogether. If they put same number of seeds in each flower bed. How many seeds did they plant in each flowerbed?
To find out how many seeds they planted in each flowerbed, you divide the total number of seeds by the number of flowerbeds. Total seeds = 32 Number of flowerbeds = 8 Seeds per flowerbed = Total seeds / Number of flowerbeds Seeds per flowerbed = 32 / 8 Seeds per flowerbed = 4 So, they planted $\boxed{4}$ seeds in e...

One fourth of one third of two fifth of a number is 16. What is the value of one third of two fifth of that number?
Let's call the number we're looking for "N". According to the problem, one fourth of one third of two fifth of N is 16. We can write this as an equation: (1/4) * (1/3) * (2/5) * N = 16 To find N, we need to solve for it. First, let's simplify the left side of the equation by multiplying the fractions: (1/4) * (1/3)...

If ( a + b ) = 11 , ( b + c ) = 9 and ( c + d ) = 3 , what is the value of ( a + d )?
To find the value of (a + d), we can use the given equations: (a + b) = 11 (b + c) = 9 (c + d) = 3 We want to eliminate b and c to find a relationship between a and d. To do this, we can subtract the second equation from the first and the third equation from the second: (a + b) - (b + c) = 11 - 9 (a - c) = 2 (b + c...

A sum was put at simple interest at a certain rate for 9 years. Had it been put at a higher rate, it would have fetched $1,350 more. The sum is $3,000. What is the difference in percentage between the original rate and the higher rate?
Let's denote the original rate as R% and the higher rate as H%. We know that the sum of money is $3,000 and it was put at simple interest for 9 years. The simple interest formula is: Interest (I) = Principal (P) * Rate (R) * Time (T) / 100 Using the original rate, the interest earned would be: I_original = $3,000 * R...
