question:Zack has traveled to twice the number of countries Patrick traveled to. Patrick traveled to three times the number of countries Joseph traveled to. Joseph traveled to half the number of countries George traveled to. If George traveled to 6 countries, how many countries did Zack travel to?
answer:Joseph traveled to half the number of countries George traveled to, so Joseph traveled to 6/2 = 3 countries. Patrick traveled to three times the number of countries Joseph traveled to, so Patrick traveled to 3*3 = 9 countries. Zack has traveled to twice the number of countries Patrick traveled to, so Zack traveled to 9*2 = 18 countries. Therefore, Zack traveled to 18 countries. 18 The answer is: 18
question:At a party, there are 400 students, a combination of poets, singers and tree huggers. There are 50 more poets than treehuggers at the party. If the number of tree huggers is x, There are 110 singers at the party. What is the value of unknown variable x? What is the value of unknown variable x?
answer:To solve this problem, we need to determine the value of x, which represents the number of tree huggers at the party. Let's break down the information given: Number of poets: x + 50 (50 more than tree huggers) Number of singers: 110 Total number of students: 400 We can set up the equation as follows: Number of poets + Number of singers + Number of tree huggers = Total number of students (x + 50) + 110 + x = 400 Let's simplify and solve for x: 2x + 160 = 400 To isolate x, we subtract 160 from both sides of the equation: 2x + 160 - 160 = 400 - 160 2x = 240 To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 2: x = 240 / 2 x = 120 The value of x is 120. 120 The answer is: 120
question:f the number of Dummies in each bag is the same and cannot be divided equally among 9 kids, with 7 pieces left over after each kid receives an equal number of pieces, what is the smallest number of pieces that could potentially be left over when the Dummies in three bags are divided equally among 9 kids?
answer:In the first scenario, let x be the number of Dummies in each bag. Since the Dummies cannot be divided equally among 9 kids, we know that x is not divisible by 9. We also know that there are 7 pieces left over after each kid receives an equal number of pieces. Therefore, x must be congruent to 7 modulo 9. In the second scenario, we have 3 bags, so the total number of Dummies is 3x. We want to divide these Dummies equally among 9 kids. Let y be the number of Dummies each kid receives. We want to find the remainder when 3x is divided by 9. Since x is not divisible by 9, we know that 3x is also not divisible by 9. Therefore, 3x leaves a remainder when divided by 9. Let r be this remainder. We want to find the smallest possible value of r. Since x is congruent to 7 modulo 9, we have 3x equiv 3 cdot 7 equiv 21 equiv 3 pmod{9}. Therefore, the remainder r is boxed{3}. The answer is: 3
question:What is the product of the digits in the base X representation of 6543_{10}? If we know the answer to the above question is 168, what is the value of unknown variable X?
answer:We want to find the value of X in the given situation. To find the product of the digits in the base X representation of 6543_{10}, we need to convert the number 6543 from base 10 to base X. To do this, we can divide 6543 by powers of X and keep track of the remainders. Starting with the largest power of X, we divide 6543 by X^3: frac{6543}{X^3} = a_3 Next, we divide the remainder by the next power of X, X^2: frac{a_3}{X^2} = a_2 We repeat this process until we divide the remainder by X^0 = 1: frac{a_1}{X^1} = a_0 To find the value of X, we need to determine the number of digits in the base X representation of 6543. Since the product of the digits in the base X representation is 168, we can write: 1 cdot 6 cdot 8 = 168 We can see that the digits 1, 6, and 8 are all less than X. So, the value of X must be greater than 8. Since X represents the base of the number system, it must be a positive integer. Therefore, X can be any positive integer greater than 8. The answer is: 8
