Question
Joe’s age is 16 years less than 5 times Jim’s age. Find Jim’s age if Joe is 9 years old.
- 25
- 5
- 1
Hint:
frame the equations based on given conditions .Substitute the value of age of jeo to get the age of jim .
The correct answer is: 5
Explanation :-
Let Jim’s age be x
Then joe age = 16 less than 5x = 5x - 16
Given, joe age = 9
Then we get 5x - 16 = 9 5x = 25
∴x = 5
We get jims age = 5 years.

One hundred park-district members will be selected to participate in a survey about selecting a new park-district coordinator. Which of the following methods of choosing the 100 members would result in a random sample of members of the park district?
Note:
The method given is option A is called simple random sampling. Some other methods of random sampling are stratified random sampling, cluster random sampling and systematic random sampling.
Infact, there is further categorisation of simple random sampling- probability and non-probability sampling.

Two polygons are considered to be congruent if the sides and angles match. When two sides or angles have the same length are considered to be congruent. We demonstrate that the angles are congruent by inserting the same slash marks through each one.
The symbol for congruence is ≅ and can be written as △ABC ≅ △DEF. ∠A is equivalent to ∠D, ∠B to ∠E, and ∠C to ∠F. Side AB corresponds to DE, BC to EF, and AC to DF.
Two triangles are formed with three sides that are congruent. Triangles are congruent if all three pairs of corresponding sides are congruent.

A physician prescribes a treatment in which a patient takes 2 teaspoons of a medication every 6 hours for 5 days. According to the prescription, how many teaspoons of the medication should the patient take in a 24-hour period?
Note:
It may confuse some students but the fact that the medication needs to be taken for 5 days is not necessary to solve this question.
