To express 495g as a percentage of 16.5kg, we need to convert both values to the same units of measurement, such as grams or kilograms. We can convert 16.5kg to grams by multiplying by 1000: 16.5kg x 1000 = 16500g Now we can express 495g as a percentage of 16500g: 495g / 16500g x 100% = 0.03 x 100% = 3% Therefore, 495g is 3% of 16.5kg. So the answer is: 3%

The gradient to the curve is found by differentiating the curve equation with respect to x
So $\frac{dy}{dx}$ 2x - 2
The gradient of the curve is the same with that of the tangent.
At point (2, 0) $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = 2(2) - 2
= 4 – 2 = 2
The equation of the tangent is given by (y - y1) $\frac{dy}{dx}$ (x – x1)
At point (x1, y1) = (2, 0)
y - 0 = 2(x - 2)
y = 2x - 4

The probability of drawing a red ball on the first draw is 2/6 (since there are two red balls out of a total of six balls), and the probability of drawing a red ball on the second draw is also 2/6 (since the first ball is replaced before the second draw, and the number of balls remains the same). To find the probability of drawing two red balls, we need to multiply the probability of the first draw by the probability of the second draw, since the two events are independent of each other. So the probability of drawing two red balls is: 2/6 * 2/6 = 4/36 = 1/9 Therefore, the answer is 1/9.

The problem can be solved using algebra. Let's start by assuming that Taiwo's share is 11x and Kehinde's share is 9x. Then the total value of the store is 20x. Kehinde sells 2/3 of her share to Taiwo for ₦720.00. This means that Taiwo paid ₦720.00 for 2/3 of 9x, which is (2/3) * 9x = 6x. So we have: 6x = 720 Solving for x, we get: x = 120 Now we can find the total value of the store: 20x = 20 * 120 = ₦2,400.00 Therefore, the answer is option (B), ₦2,400.00. In summary, we used algebra to solve the problem by assuming values for Taiwo's and Kehinde's shares and finding the total value of the store. Then we used the information about Kehinde's sale to find the value of x and ultimately the total value of the store.

The locus of a distance 4cm from a given point P is a circle of radius 4cm centered at point P. To understand this, imagine drawing all the points that are exactly 4cm away from point P. These points form a circle, since they are equidistant from the center, which is point P. This circle has a radius of 4cm, since all points on the circle are exactly 4cm away from point P. So, the correct option is "a circle of radius 4cm". The other options are not correct because: - A straight line of length 4cm: This would only include points that are exactly 4cm away from point P in one direction. However, there are infinitely many points that are 4cm away from point P in all directions, so this cannot be the correct locus. - Perpendicular to point P at 4cm: This would be a line that is perpendicular to the line that passes through point P, but it would not include all points that are exactly 4cm away from point P. - A circle of diameter 4cm: This would only include points that are exactly 2cm away from point P in all directions, not points that are exactly 4cm away.

From the figure,
∠ XMN = ∠ XZY
Angle X is common
So, ∠ XNM = ∠ XYZ
Then from the angle relationship
$\frac{XM}{XZ}$ = $\frac{XN}{XY}$ = $\frac{MN}{ZY}$
XM = 8, XZ = 12 + 4 = 16,
XN = 12, XY = 8 + YM
$\frac{8}{16}$ = $\frac{12}{(8+YM)}$
Cross multiply
8(8 + YM) = 192
64 + 8YM = 192
8YM = 128
YM = $\frac{128}{8}$
= 16cm

Since they are of different base, convert to base 10
243${}_{six}$ = (2 x 62) + (4 x 61) + (3 x 60)
= 72 + 24 + 3 = 99 base 10
243${}_{six}$ = 2 x 52 + 4 x 51 +3 x 50
50 + 20 + 3 = 73 base 10
Subtracting them, 99 - 73

To answer this question, we need to add up the frequency of children in each age category. Looking at the table, we can see that there are 3 children aged 1, 4 children aged 2, 5 children aged 3, 6 children aged 4, 7 children aged 5, 6 children aged 6, 5 children aged 7, and 4 children aged 8. We can add up these numbers to find the total number of children in the hospital: 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 = 40 Therefore, there are 40 children in the hospital. The correct answer is.

The first four prime numbers greater than 10 are 11, 13, 17, and 19. To find the average of these numbers, we add them all up and then divide by the number of items in the set. So, (11 + 13 + 17 + 19) / 4 = 60 / 4 = 15. Therefore, the average of the first four prime numbers greater than 10 is 15.

To find the equation of a line parallel to another line, we need to use the fact that parallel lines have the same slope. The given line 7x + 5y = 12 can be rearranged into slope-intercept form, which is y = (-7/5)x + (12/5), where the slope is -7/5. Since the line we want to find is parallel to this line, it must also have a slope of -7/5. We also know that the line passes through the point (5,7). To find the equation of this line, we can use the point-slope form, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1,y1) is the given point and m is the slope. Substituting in the values we know, we get: y - 7 = (-7/5)(x - 5) Simplifying this equation, we get: y = (-7/5)x + (49/5) So the equation of the line through (5,7) parallel to the line 7x + 5y = 12 is y = (-7/5)x + (49/5), which is option (A) 5x + 7y = 20.

Taking the cube of both sides of the equation give
P${}^3$ = $\frac{Q(R-T)}{15}$
Cross multiplying
15P${}^3$ = Q(R - T)
Divide both sides by Q
$\frac{15P^3}{Q}$ = R - T
Rearranging gives
T = R - $\frac{15P^3}{Q}$

Let the monthly expenditure angle for school fees is x, then that of housing will be 2x. Since the total angle in the circle is 360.
Using 90 as the angle for transport
So, x + 2x + 120 + 90 = 360
3x + 210 = 3605
3x = 360 - 210
= 150
x = $\frac{150}{3}$ = 50
So the angle for housing is 2x = 2 × 50
= 100
Amount spent on housing = $\frac{100}{360}$ × 7200
= ₦2000

First we convert the numbers to base ten
23${}_{five}$= 2 x 51 + 3 x 50
= 10 + 3 = 13
101${}_{five}$ = (1 x 32) + (0 x 31) + (1 x 30)
= 9 + 0 + 1 = 10
So, y = 13 + 10 = 23
To convert 23 to base 2 (as in the diagram above)
y = 23
= 10111${}_{five}$

The probability of obtaining a tail on a coin is 1/2 since there are two possible outcomes (either a head or a tail) and they are equally likely. The probability of obtaining an even number on a die is 3/6 or 1/2 since there are three even numbers (2, 4, 6) and six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and they are equally likely. Since the events of obtaining a tail on the coin and an even number on the die are independent (i.e., the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other), we can multiply their probabilities to find the probability of obtaining both: P(tail and even) = P(tail) x P(even) = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4 Therefore, the probability of obtaining a tail on the coin and an even number on the die is 1/4 or 0.25.

Sin(5x - 28) = Cos(3x - 50)………..i
But Sinα = Cos(90 - α)
So Sin(5x - 28) = Cos(90 - [5x - 28])
Sin(5x - 28) = Cos(90 - 5x + 28)
Sin(5x - 28) = Cos(118 - 5x)………ii
Combining i and ii
Cos(3x - 50) = Cos(118 - 5x)
3x - 50 = 118 - 5x
Collecting the like terms
3x + 5x = 118 + 50
8x = 168
x = $\frac{168}{8}$
x = 21${}^o$

To find the distance between P and R', we first need to determine the location of R'. R' is the reflection of R across the point P. Since R is 5km due West and 12km due South of P, we can draw a diagram to represent their positions.

           R
            |
            | 12km
            |
            P------5km------->
            |
            |

To find R', we draw a line that connects R and P, then draw a perpendicular bisector to that line at point P. The intersection of the perpendicular bisector and the line RP is the point R'.

           R'
            |
            | 
            |
            P------5km------->
            |
            |

The distance between P and R' is the length of the line segment PR'. To find this distance, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In this case, we have a right triangle with sides of length 5km and 12km. The hypotenuse, which is the distance between P and R', is given by:

sqrt(5^2 + 12^2) = sqrt(169) = 13km

Therefore, the distance between P and R' is 13km.

To calculate the area of an equilateral triangle, we can use the formula: Area = (sqrt(3) / 4) * (side length)^2 Since we know that the side length is 8cm, we can substitute it into the formula: Area = (sqrt(3) / 4) * (8cm)^2 Simplifying this expression, we get: Area = (sqrt(3) / 4) * 64cm^2 Area = (16sqrt(3)) cm^2 Therefore, the area of the equilateral triangle is 16sqrt(3) square centimeters. So the answer is 16√3.
