AI Thread Summary
To calculate the number of multiples of 6 between 65 and 391, start with the first multiple of 6 after 65, which is 66. Use the equation (391 - 65)/6 + 1 to determine the total count, resulting in 55 multiples. The "+1" accounts for the starting point, while the term "between" indicates that 65 and 391 are not included in the count. Therefore, the actual range for counting is from 66 to 390. Understanding the precise wording of the question is crucial for accurate calculations.

What equation should I use? Are there terms and information that is 'hidden'?

There are two questions that are very simmilar I'll only post one and try the second one myself.

"How many multiples of 6 are there between 65 and 391?"
 
Physics news on Phys.org
the first multiple of 6 after 65 is obviously 66 which is 6x11, then you divide 391 by 6 find out what the last multiple in the range is, and by what you have to multiply 6 by to get it. Then subtract 11 from the factor that gets you closest to 391 to find out how many multiples are in your range. hope that was clear enough...
 


To solve this problem, you can use the equation: (391 - 65)/6 + 1 = 55

This equation takes into account the range of numbers (391-65) and divides it by the multiple (6). The +1 is added to account for the starting number of 65. This equation is commonly used for finding the number of multiples within a given range.

As for hidden terms or information, it is important to pay attention to the wording of the question. In this case, the word "between" indicates that the starting and ending numbers are not included in the count. So, while the range is from 65 to 391, the actual count is from 66 to 390. It is always important to carefully read and understand the question before using an equation to solve it.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
