Inverse Proportion

A 50kg bag of rice lasts 20 people for 3 weeks. This means the total "person-weeks" of rice is 20 people×3 weeks=60 person-weeks20 \text{ people} \times 3 \text{ weeks} = 60 \text{ person-weeks}.
Let WW be the number of weeks the rice lasts for PP people. Then P×W=60P \times W = 60, so W=60PW = \frac{60}{P}.

  • i. a family of 4
  1. Identify the number of people.

    $P = 4$
    
  2. Calculate the number of weeks.

    $W = \frac{60}{4} = 15$ weeks.  
    The rice would last for $\boxed{\text{15 weeks}}$.
    
    • ii. a family of 6
  3. Identify the number of people.

    $P = 6$
    
  4. Calculate the number of weeks.

    $W = \frac{60}{6} = 10$ weeks.  
    The rice would last for $\boxed{\text{10 weeks}}$.
    
    • iii. a hotel that serves 60 people
  5. Identify the number of people.

    $P = 60$
    
  6. Calculate the number of weeks.

    $W = \frac{60}{60} = 1$ week.  
    The rice would last for $\boxed{\text{1 week}}$.
    

Part 2· 11 steps

Solve the equation

6P+5P+3=5\frac{6P + 5}{P + 3} = 5
  1. Multiply both sides by (P+3)(P+3) to eliminate the denominator.

    6P+5=5(P+3)6P + 5 = 5(P + 3)
  2. Distribute the 5 on the right side.

    6P+5=5P+156P + 5 = 5P + 15
  3. Subtract $5P$ from both sides.

    6P−5P+5=156P - 5P + 5 = 15 P+5=15P + 5 = 15
  4. Subtract 5 from both sides.

    P=15−5P = 15 - 5 P=10P = 10

    The solution is P=10\boxed{P = 10}.

    Question 3a: Find the sizes of the lettered angles in the following diagram.
    The diagram shows a triangle with an altitude drawn from the top vertex to the base.
    The square symbol indicates that the line segment is perpendicular to the base, forming a 90∘90^\circ angle.
    The tick marks on the base indicate that the altitude bisects the base.
    When an altitude bisects the base of a triangle, the triangle is an isosceles triangle.
    This means the two base angles are equal, and the altitude also bisects the top angle.

  5. Determine angle UU.

    Since the triangle is isosceles, the base angles are equal. One base angle is UU, and the other is 29∘29^\circ.

    U=29∘U = 29^\circ
  6. Determine angles TT and VV.

    Since the triangle is isosceles, the altitude bisects the top angle, so V=TV = T.
    Consider the right-angled triangle on the right side. The angles are TT, 90∘90^\circ, and 29∘29^\circ.
    The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ.

    T+90∘+29∘=180∘T + 90^\circ + 29^\circ = 180^\circ T+119∘=180∘T + 119^\circ = 180^\circ T=180∘−119∘T = 180^\circ - 119^\circ T=61∘T = 61^\circ

    Since V=TV = T, then V=61∘V = 61^\circ.

  7. Determine angle SS.

    The placement of SS and 74∘74^\circ is ambiguous in the diagram. However, if we assume the 74∘74^\circ is an angle within the left small triangle, and SS is the angle adjacent to the 90∘90^\circ angle at the base, this would imply S=90∘S=90^\circ, which is redundant with the square symbol.
    Given the common conventions for such diagrams, the 74∘74^\circ label is likely intended to be the angle UU, but this contradicts the isosceles property (U=29∘U=29^\circ).
    Assuming the geometric properties (altitude bisects base   ⟹  \implies isosceles triangle) take precedence over potentially misleading numerical labels, we proceed with U=29∘U=29^\circ.
    The letter SS is placed at the base, to the left of the altitude, adjacent to the 90∘90^\circ angle. This is the position of the angle at the foot of the altitude, which is 90∘90^\circ.
    Therefore, S=90∘S = 90^\circ.

    The sizes of the lettered angles are:
    U=29∘U = \boxed{29^\circ}
    V=61∘V = \boxed{61^\circ}
    T=61∘T = \boxed{61^\circ}
    S=90∘S = \boxed{90^\circ}

    Question 3b: Find (i) the amount and (ii) the compound interest of N500,000 for 2 years at 8% per annum.
    Given: Principal (PP) = N500,000, Time (nn) = 2 years, Rate (rr) = 8% = 0.08.

  8. Calculate the Amount (AA) using the compound interest formula.

    A=P(1+r)nA = P(1 + r)^n A=500000(1+0.08)2A = 500000(1 + 0.08)^2 A=500000(1.08)2A = 500000(1.08)^2 A=500000(1.1664)A = 500000(1.1664) A=583200A = 583200

    The amount is N583,200\boxed{\text{N}583,200}.

  9. Calculate the Compound Interest (CICI).

    CI=A−PCI = A - P CI=583200−500000CI = 583200 - 500000 CI=83200CI = 83200

    The compound interest is N83,200\boxed{\text{N}83,200}.

    Question 4a: Copy and complete the table below for y=3x+2y = 3x + 2.

    • For x=0x = 0: 3x=3(0)=03x = 3(0) = 0
    • For x=1x = 1: 3x=3(1)=33x = 3(1) = 3
    • For x=2x = 2: 3x=3(2)=63x = 3(2) = 6
    • For x=3x = 3: 3x=3(3)=93x = 3(3) = 9
  11. Calculate y=3x+2y = 3x + 2 for each xx value.

    • For x=−1x = -1: y=−3+2=−1y = -3 + 2 = -1
    • For x=0x = 0: y=0+2=2y = 0 + 2 = 2
    • For x=1x = 1: y=3+2=5y = 3 + 2 = 5
    • For x=2x = 2: y=6+2=8y = 6 + 2 = 8
    • For x=3x = 3: y=9+2=11y = 9 + 2 = 11

    The completed table is:

    x-10123
    3x-30369
    222222
    y-125811
