During a chess match there are 15 pieces left on the board. the ratio of the white pieces to black pieces is 3 : 2 how many white pieces are on the white board?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:   9

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

Explanation:

The ratio 3:2 scales up to 3x:2x for some positive whole number x.

We have 3x white pieces, 2x black pieces, and 3x+2x = 5x pieces total. Set this equal to the 15 mentioned and solve for x.

5x = 15

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 3

Therefore, there are 3x = 3*3 = 9 white pieces and 2x = 2*3 = 6 black pieces, which gives 9+6 = 15 total. The ratio 9:6 reduces to 3:2 after dividing both parts by the GCF 3.

6 mm

mm

Answers

Answer:

[tex] {84mm}^{2} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of square= l×l

Area of square= 6mm × 6mn

Area if square = 36 mm²

Area of triangle 1= ½b ×h

Area of triangle 1= ½ (6mm)(8mm)

Area of triangle 1 = 24 mm²

Area of triangle 2 is the same as area of traingle 1 because they have the same base and hight

: . area of triangles is 48mm²

Area of the figure= Area of square + Area of triangles

A of figure = 36+48

A of figure = 84 mm²

Option 2

Use trapezium formula

Area of trapezium= (a+b)/2 * h

a=6 mm (base)

b=8+6=14 mm (Base)

h= 6mm (height)

[tex]area \: of \: trapezium = ( \frac{6 + 14}{2} )(6) \\ = 60mm ^{2} [/tex]

Therefore the area of triangle= 24mm² as calculated in option 1

Area of the figure= Area of trapezium +Area of triangle

Area of figure = 60+24

= 84 mm²

Answer:

The dots have a weak positive correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The values on the graph, or dots, are generally going upwards, meaning they are positive. If they were generally going downwards, or from the top left to bottom right, they would be negative.

The values are not tightly packed together. If they were, they would have a strong positive correlation. Instead, they are loosely around each other. But because they are not completely random all over the graph, the correlation is weak.

Hence, the values on the graph have a weak and positive correlation.

Answers

Answer:

3 times 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2.75 - 75 or in other words 7 is closer to 10 than 0, so well round it up to the next number, 3.

1.25 - 25 or in others words 2 is closer to 0 than 10, so we'll round it down to the nearest lowest whole number, 1.

A certain forest can support a population of 800 deer. There are currently 200 deer in the forest and their population is growing at a rate of 2% per year. Complete the sequence below that models this population growth.



Answers

It would take 70 years for the deer population to reach 800.

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

where b is the multiplier, y, x are variables and a is the initial value.

Let y represent the population and x represent the time in years.

a = 200, b = 100% + 2% = 102% = 1.02

y = 200(1.02)ˣ

For a population of 800:

800 = 200(1.02)ˣ

ln(4) = xln(1.02)

x = 70 years

It would take 70 years for the deer population to reach 800.

Suzie has made a conjecture that the sum of consecutive odd numbers is always a perfect square. The example she used to show this to Timmy is 1 + 3 + 5 + 7+ 16 = 42. However, Timmy was not convinced and made a Venn diagram to find a counter-example, Do you agree with Suzie's conjecture? Use evidence from the Venn diagram to support your response​

Answers

Answer:

Of course you don't agree with Suzie's conjecture - if there is a counterexample (and there is) to a conjecture, that conjecture is false.

Additional note:

Any sum of consecutive odd numbers starting with 1 is a perfect square. It can be proven mathematically, but the pleasant "proof" is to look at actual geometrical squares drawn from unit squares (like in your notebook).

When you have a square of NxN (N^2 unit squares), to go to the next square you need to add N on one side, N on a neighboring side, and 1 to fill the missing unit, for a total of adding 2N+1 squares and ending up with (N+1)x(N+1).

Because you can start from a 1x1 square and then add 2*1+1 = 3 to go to 2x2, then add 2*2+1=5 to go to 3x3 and so on.

Step-by-step explanation:

Timmy is not the brightest person for making this Venn diagram. He just needed to find 1 counterexample.
