Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of tiles in the design is 1 + 2 + 3 + ...
We can model this as an arithmetic series, where the first term is 1 and the common difference is 1. The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is:
S = n/2 (2a₁ + d (n − 1))
Given that a₁ = 1 and d = 1:
S = n/2 (2(1) + n − 1)
S = n/2 (n + 1)
Since S ≤ 60:
n/2 (n + 1) ≤ 60
n (n + 1) ≤ 120
n must be an integer, so from trial and error:
n ≤ 10
Mr. Tong should use 10 tiles in the final row to use the most tiles possible.
Answer:
28/9
Step-by-step explanation:
We will have to convert the given question into improper fraction before solving
So let's solve the question
3 1/9
Can be written as 28/9 which is improper fraction
Since there's nothing that can be used to divide both the numerator and denominator
Then our final answer is 28/9
But in the case where the fraction can be divided we can actually solve further
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides of a square are all the same length, so if 3 of them total 48, one of them must be 48/3 = 16.
If the length of the rectangle is 7 longer than the side of the square, it is
... 16 + 7 = 23
