Sarah feeds her fish every 2 days and her snake every 6 days. in 30 days, how many times will sarah feed her fish and snake on the same day?

hello mate!

Sara feeds her fish every 2 days: this means that if we took the 0 in a day that she feed both animals; then the fish gets food on the day 2, on the day 4, on the day 6, etc

And the snake gets food on days 6, 12, 18, etc.

now we want to count the number of days where both animals get food on the same day. Because 6 is a multiple of 2, we can see that every day that the snake is feed, the fish also feed, this is because the minimal common multiple between 2 and 6 is 6.

then we can see that each 6 days Sarah feeds her fish and snake on the same day. Now we need to see the number of times that this event happens in 30 days; we can see this dividing 30 days by  6 days:

30/6 = 5

Then in the span of 30 days, there are 5 times where both animals get food on the same day.

la parábola es el lugar

geométrico en el cual los puntos tienen una distancia idéntica, equidistantes,

de un punto denominado foco, f, y una recta denominada directriz

el radio vector de una

parábola es el segmento que existe entre un punto cualquiera y el foco.

por la ecuación se observa

que la parábola abre hacia la derecha, por lo cual podemos usar las siguientes fórmulas

la ecuación ordinaria de la

parábola es y^2 = 4px, donde p es la longitud desde el vértice de la parábola al

foco.

la fórmula de la directriz

es x + p = 0

resolviendo:

y^2-9x = 0

y^2 = 9x

4p = 9, entonces p = 9/4

entonces el foco tendrá la

coordenada f(9/4,0)

la directriz vendrá

expresada por

x + p = 0

x = -p

x = -9/4

el problema indica que la

ordenada es igual a 6, entonces

(6)^2=9x

x = 36/9

x = 4

entonces el punto al cual

hay que obtener la distancia será p(4,6)

calculando se tendrá: pf = 

pf = 6,25 u
