Honestly, I find Mrs. Garcia's method easier to perform mentally. It hinges on how familiar you are with your multiples of 5. (5*15 = 75 is a multiplication I often use)

Melissa's approach involves calculating 5*20 = 100 and 5*9 = 45, then combines the 3-digit result 100 with the 2-digit result 45, yielding 145. Adding 45 to 00 is simple and doesn’t require carrying digits, thus the arithmetic is fairly straightforward.

Mrs. Garcia's technique involves computing 5*14 = 70 and 5*15 = 75, then summing these two-digit results. Many people may not readily recall that 5*15=75, which complicates forming that product. The addition of 70 and 75 requires a carrying operation, making the math somewhat more complex. The resulting total is 145.

(The rationale behind my preference for Mrs. Garcia's method is that I can achieve the final sum by simply doubling 7 tens, followed by adding 5. The only 3-digit number to remember mentally is the ultimate total.)

_____Subtraction introduces a slight complication, yet reshaping it as $5(30 -1) = $150 - 5 = $145 is possible.
Or, you may reframe it as $5(28 +1) = $140 +5 = $145.
Dividing an even number by 2 to find the product of 5 is straightforward when you append a zero.
  5*14 = 10*7 = 70
  5*28 = 10*14 = 140.

Response:

Mrs. Garcia’s approach breaks down 29 by using numbers that are less straightforward for mental multiplication. Instead, 29 should be expanded using place value as Melissa demonstrated to simplify the multiplication process.

Choose the solutions of the following systems of equations x^2+y^2=6 and x^2-y=6
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

The solutions are (-√6,0) and (√6,0)

(-√5,-1) and (√5,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the equations:

{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 6

and

{x}^{2} - y = 6

Rearranging the second equation to make y the subject results in;

y = {x}^{2} - 6

Substituting into the first equation gives us:

{x}^{2} + ({x}^{2} - 6 )^2= 6

x = \pm \sqrt{6}

and x = \pm \sqrt{5}

The solutions remain as (-√6,0) and (√6,0)

(-√5,-1) and (√5,-1)

There was 5/8 of a pie left in the fridge. Daniel are 1/4 of the left over pie. How much of a pie did he eat
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

vvvv

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert 1/4 into eighths to be able to subtract it from 5/8.

1/4 x 2 = 2/8

2. Deduct 2/8 from 5/8.

5/8 - 2/8 = 3/8

Daniel consumed 2/8 of the remaining pie, and now there are 3/8 left.

If m<9=97° and m<12=114°, find each measure. I have to show my work.
Leona [12618]

Solution/Step-by-step breakdown:

Information provided:

m<9 = 97°

m<12 = 114°

a. m<1 = m<9 because they are corresponding angles, which are equal.

m<1 = 97° (using substitution)

b. m<2 + m<1 = 180° (since they form a linear pair)

m<2 + 97° = 180° (substitute the value)

m<2 = 180 - 97 (subtracting 97 from both sides)

m<2 = 83°

c. m<3 = m<11 (as they are corresponding angles)

m<11 + m<12 = 180° (linear pair)

m<11 + 114° = 180° (substituting the known angle)

m<11 = 180 - 114

m<11 = 66°

m<3 = m<11 = 66°

d. m<4 + m<3 = 180° (linear pair)

m<4 + 66° = 180° (substituting the known angle)

m<4 = 180 - 66

m<4 = 114°

e. m<5 = m<2 as vertical angles are equal.

m<5 = 83° (using substitution)

f. m<6 = m<1 (vertical angles are equal)

m<6 = 97° (using substitution)

g. m<7 = m<4 (as vertical angles are equal)

m<7 = 114° (using substitution)

h. m<8 = m<3 (due to vertical angles being equal)

m<8 = 66° (using substitution)

i. m<10 = m<2 (corresponding angles are equal)

m<10 = 83° (using substitution)

j. m<11 = m<3 (because they are vertical angles)

m<11 = 66° (using substitution)

k. m<13 = m<5 (corresponding angles)

m<13 = 83° (applying substitution)

l. m<14 = m<9 (as vertical angles)

m<14 = 97° (applying substitution)

m. m<15 = m<12 (as vertical angles)

m<15 = 114° (applying substitution)

n. m<16 = m<11 (because they are vertical angles)

m<16 = 66° (applying substitution)

A low-strength children’s/adult chewable aspirin tablet contains 81 mg of aspirin per tablet. How many tablets may be prepared f
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

From 1 kg of aspirin, a total of 12,345 tablets can be produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

This query mentions that low-strength chewable aspirin tablets for children and adults contain 81 mg of aspirin each, asking how many tablets can be made from 1 kg of aspirin.

Considering the weight of a tablet measured in kg, we start by converting 81 mg to kg.

Each kg equals 1,000,000 mg. Hence

1 kg - 1,000,000 mg

x kg - 81 mg.

1,000,000x = 81

x = \frac{81}{1,000,000}

Therefore, x = 0.000081 kg.

Each tablet essentially contains 0.000081 kg of aspirin. To find out how many tablets this yields from 1 kg of aspirin:

1 tablet - 0.000081 kg

x tablets - 1 kg

0.000081x = 1

x = \frac{1}{0.000081}

Thus, x = 12,345 tablets.

Therefore, a total of 12,345 tablets can be manufactured from 1 kg of aspirin.
