Simplify \(\frac{1\frac{7}{8} \times 2\frac{2}{5}}{6\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{3}{4}}\) A. 9 B. 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) C. 2 D. \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Show Content
Detailed Solution\(\frac{1\frac{7}{8} \times 2\frac{2}{5}}{6\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{3}{4}}\)from numerator \(1 \frac{7}{8} \times 2 \frac{2}{5}\) = \(\frac{15}{8} \times \frac{12}{5}\) = \(\frac{3 \times 3}{2 \times 1} = \frac{9}{2}\) from denominator \(6\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{3}{4}\) = \(\frac{27}{4} \div \frac{3}{4}\) = \(\frac{27}{4} \times \frac{4}{3}\) = \(\frac{9 \times 1}{1 \times 1} = \frac{9}{1}\) \(\frac{9}{2} \div \frac{9}{1} = \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{1}{9}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) |

If Un = n(n2 + 1), evaluate U5 - U4 A. 18 B. 56 C. 62 D. 80
Show Content
Detailed SolutionUn = n(n2 + 1)U5 = 5(2 + 1) = 5(25 + 1) = 5(26) = 130 U4 = 4(42 + 1) = 4(16 + 1) = 4(17) = 68 U5 - U4 = 130 - 68 = 62 |

If \(\sqrt{50} - K\sqrt{8} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\), find K A. -2 B. -1 C. 1 D. 2
Show Content
Detailed Solution\(\sqrt{50} - K\sqrt{8} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\)\(\sqrt{50} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\) = K\(\sqrt{8}\) = \(\sqrt{2} \times 25 - \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\) = K \(\sqrt{4 \times 2}\) \(\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{1} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\) = 2K\(\sqrt{2}\) \(\frac{5\sqrt{4} - 2}{\sqrt{2}} = 2K\sqrt{2}\) \(\frac{10 - 2}{\sqrt{2}} = 2K \sqrt{2}\) \(\frac{8}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{2K\sqrt{2}}{1}\) = 2k\(\sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2}\) = 8 2k \(\sqrt{4}\) = 8 2k x 2 = 8 4k = 8 k = \(\frac{8}{4}\) k = 2 < |

A sales boy gave a change of N68 instead of N72. Calculate his percentage error A. 4% B. 5\(\frac{5}{9}\)% C. 5\(\frac{15}{17}\)% D. 7%
Show Content
Detailed Solution% error = \(\frac{error}{\text{actual value}} \times 100\)error = N72 - N68 = 4 actual value = N72 %error = \(\frac{4}{72} \times 100\) = \(\frac{100}{18} = \frac{50}{9}\) = 5\(\frac{5}{9}\)% |

Four oranges sell for Nx and three mangoes sell for Ny. Olu bought 24 oranges and 12 mangoes. How much did he pay in terms of x and y? A. N94x + 6y) B. N(6x + 4y) C. N(24x + 12y) D. N(12x + 24y)
Show Content
Detailed Solution4 oranges sell for Nx, 1 orange will sell for \(\frac{Nx}{4}\)24 oranges will sell for: \(\frac{Nx}{4} \times 24\) = n6x 3 mangoes sell for Ny, 1 mango will sell for \(\frac{Ny}{3}\) 12 mangoes will sell for \(\frac{Ny}{3} \times 12\) = 4Ny total money pay N6x + N4y = N(6x + 4y) |
