2018-08-30 |
|
From Saranya:
Hi,
The question is to find the numbers from sum and difference.
The Sum = 14 and the difference = 2
I found in this web site some useful answers. but my kid is going second grade only. She don't know how to do a division or multiplication.
So can you please explain on how to find the answer using only the Addition and Subtraction.
Thanks in advance.

From Kenneth:
16 is 4% of what amount?
The answer can be determined by the following unusual manner:
4% = 16
1% = 4
100% = 400
Can the following solutions for the following be determined by using the
same type of calculation?
16 is ?% of 400
? is 4% of 400
I thank you for your reply.

Two intersecting tubes |
2018-08-15 |
|
From Tommy:
Hi, I am trying to determine a mathematical model for two metal tubes joining at various degrees for weld.
For instance, if I am trying to join the end of a tube to the side of another at a 90 degree angle, it will be a simple profile cut out of the joining tube.
Where it gets tricky is if you want to join the new tube at a given angle.
It would be very helpful if you could give insight as to how I can solve this problem or an equation I could work off of.
Thanks for the help!!

Two spinners |
2018-08-13 |
|
From Atina:
A spinner has four equal sectors and a number is written on each sector; 1, 2, 3 and 4. A two-digit number is formed by spinning two times. The number on the first spinning makes the first digit and the number on the second spinning makes the second digit. For example, 2 on the first spinning and 1 on the second spinning make the number 21.
(a) Give the sample space S for the experiment.
(b) Consider the following events : E = odd number; F = number smaller than 35; G = prime number.
Give the subset of outcomes in S that defines each of the events E, F, and G.
(c) Describe the following events in terms of E, F, and G and find the probabilities for the events.
• getting an even integer less than 35.
• getting an odd number or an prime.
• getting an even number greater than or equal to 35 that is a prime number.
• an odd number smaller than 35 that is not a prime number.
(d) Are E and F mutually exclusive events? Give a reason for your answer.
