A municipal election committee is distributing ballots to various polling stations. When they pack the ballots in bundles of 4545, 5454, or 7272, they find that they are always left with 3838, 4747, and 6565 unbundled ballots, respectively. If the total number of ballots printed is the largest possible 4-digit number satisfying these conditions, what is the exact total number of ballots?

Cevap: 9713

Cevap

9713
The problem describes a scenario where the difference between each divisor (4545, 5454, 7272) and its respective remainder (3838, 4747, 6565) is exactly 77. This means that if 77 more ballots were added, the total would be perfectly divisible by all three numbers. Therefore, the required total is exactly 77 less than a common multiple of these divisors. The LCM of 4545, 5454, and 7272 is 10801080. The largest 44-digit multiple of 10801080 is 97209720 (1080×91080 \times 9). Subtracting the constant difference of 77 from 97209720 gives the final answer of 97139713.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the difference between each bundle size and its corresponding remainder.
4538=745 - 38 = 7, 5447=754 - 47 = 7, and 7265=772 - 65 = 7.
To identify if there is a constant difference, which allows the use of the LCM minus constant method.
2
Determine the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the bundle sizes 4545, 5454, and 7272.
LCM(45,54,72)=1080\text{LCM}(45, 54, 72) = 1080.
The LCM represents the smallest bundle size that perfectly divides by all three numbers. Prime factorizations: 45=32×545 = 3^2 \times 5, 54=2×3354 = 2 \times 3^3, 72=23×3272 = 2^3 \times 3^2. LCM =23×33×5=1080= 2^3 \times 3^3 \times 5 = 1080.
3
Find the largest 4-digit multiple of the LCM.
1080×9=97201080 \times 9 = 9720.
The problem asks for the largest 4-digit number. Dividing 99999999 by 10801080 yields 9.258...9.258..., so the largest integer multiplier is 99.
4
Subtract the constant difference from this largest multiple.
97207=97139720 - 7 = 9713.
Since each division left a remainder that was 77 short of a full bundle, subtracting 77 from a perfect multiple satisfies all three remainder conditions.

A specialized aerospace component is manufactured from a custom metal alloy weighing exactly 160160 kg. The alloy's composition by weight is 0.350.35 aluminum and 516\frac{5}{16} magnesium, with the remaining portion consisting entirely of titanium. What is the exact mass of titanium in this component?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 54

Cevap

54
To find the mass of titanium, the total proportions of the other metals must first be unified into a common format (either fractions or decimals). By converting the magnesium's share of 516\frac{5}{16} to the decimal 0.31250.3125, the combined proportion of aluminum and magnesium is 0.35+0.3125=0.66250.35 + 0.3125 = 0.6625. The titanium makes up the remaining portion of the whole, which is 10.6625=0.33751 - 0.6625 = 0.3375. Finally, multiplying this decimal proportion by the total alloy mass of 160160 kg yields exactly 5454 kg.

Adım Adım Çözüm

0.35+0.3125=0.66250.35 + 0.3125 = 0.6625
This finds the total proportion of the alloy that is NOT titanium.
3
Calculate the proportion of titanium.
10.6625=0.33751 - 0.6625 = 0.3375
The sum of all material proportions in the whole alloy must equal exactly 11.
4
Calculate the final mass of titanium.
0.3375×160=540.3375 \times 160 = 54
Multiplying the component's proportion by the total mass gives the specific weight of that component.

A civil contractor is tasked with upgrading a rural highway. In the first month, the crew successfully upgrades 0.2750.275 of the total highway length. During the second month, they upgrade 512\frac{5}{12} of the remaining length. If the crew has exactly 10.1510.15 kilometers left to upgrade in the third month to complete the project, what is the total length of the highway in kilometers?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 24

Cevap

The total length of the highway is 24 kilometers.
The correct total length is calculated by accurately determining the remaining fraction of the highway step-by-step. Converting the decimal 0.275 to a fraction (11/40) allows for clean, exact operations without repeating decimal rounding errors. By tracking the remainder accurately, we establish that the final 10.15 km represents exactly 203/480 of the total length, resulting in a total of 24 km.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the fraction of the highway remaining after the first month.
2940\frac{29}{40} of the total length remains.
The crew upgraded 0.2750.275 of the total. Converting 0.2750.275 to a fraction gives 2751000\frac{275}{1000}, which simplifies to 1140\frac{11}{40}. Subtracting this from the whole gives 11140=29401 - \frac{11}{40} = \frac{29}{40}.
2
Calculate the fraction of the total highway upgraded in the second month.
2996\frac{29}{96} of the total length.
The crew upgraded 512\frac{5}{12} of the remaining length. Therefore, multiply the two fractions: 512×2940=1×2912×8=2996\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{29}{40} = \frac{1 \times 29}{12 \times 8} = \frac{29}{96}.
3
Calculate the total fraction of the highway remaining for the third month.
203480\frac{203}{480} of the total length.
Subtract the second month's progress from the remainder after the first month: 29402996\frac{29}{40} - \frac{29}{96}. The least common multiple of 4040 and 9696 is 480480. Converting to common denominators gives 348480145480=203480\frac{348}{480} - \frac{145}{480} = \frac{203}{480}.
4
Set up the final equation and solve for the total highway length.
2424 km
The remaining fraction equals the given physical distance of 10.1510.15 km. So, 203480×Total=10.15\frac{203}{480} \times \text{Total} = 10.15. Solving for Total yields 10.15×480203\frac{10.15 \times 480}{203}. Since 10.15÷203=0.0510.15 \div 203 = 0.05, the Total is 0.05×480=240.05 \times 480 = 24 km.
