Q:

Two numbers are such that the sum of twice the first number and thrice the second number is 36 and the sum of thrice the first number and twice the second number is 39. Find the difference between the numbers?

A) 15 B) 3
C) 9 D) 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 15

Explanation:

Let the required two numbers be a, b

From the given data,

2a + 3b = 36 .....(1)

3a + 2b = 39 .....(2)

Now, by solving 1 and 2 eqnts, we get

5a = 45

a = 9 ....(3)

Put (3) in (1), we get

2(9) + 3b = 36

=> 18 + 3b = 36

3b = 36 - 18

=> b = 18/3 = 6

 

Required, difference between the numbers = a + b = 9 + 6 = 15.

Q:

5/8 as a Decimal Equals To

C) 0.258 D) 0.147
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 0.625

Explanation:

5/8 is Nothing but to divide 5 into 8 parts.

 

 

As 5 is smaller than 8, the quotient starts with a decimal point to make 5 as 50 to be divisible by 8. (0.)

 

 

Now 50 goes for 6 times in 8 leaving a remainder 2. (0.6)

 

  

Again 2 is smaller than 8, As it already has decimal point in the quotient, now 2 becomes 20.

 

  

Now 20 goes for 2 times in 8 leaving a remainder 4. (0.62)

 

  

Again 4 is smaller than 8, As it already has decimal point in the quotient, now 4 becomes 40.

 

 

Now 40 goes for 5 times in 8 leaving a remainder 0. (0.625)

 

 

Therefore, the decimal value of 58 is 0.625.

 

Now find a decimal value of 1117 and Discuss your at Discuss.
