The greatest number of fruit baskets they can make is 2 with each one having 44 peaches, 30 bananas and 27 kiwis

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Jim’s fruit basket has 88 peaches, 60 bananas and 54 Kiwis to  use.

If each basket have same number of each type, we have to determine the greatest number of fruit baskets they can make  

We need to find greatest common factor of 88, 60 and 54

When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.

<em><u>Greatest common factor of 88, 60 and 54:</u></em>

The factors of 54 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54

The factors of 60 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

The factors of 88 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 22, 44, 88

Then the greatest common factor is 2

On dividing the number of fruits by 2 we get

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Apples in each basket }=\frac{88}{2}=44} \\\\ {\text { Bananas in each basket }=\frac{60}{2}=30} \\\\ {\text { Kiwis in each basket }=\frac{54}{2}=27}\end{array}

Hence, there can be 2 basket with each one having 44 peaches, 30 bananas and 27 kiwis

Aiden wrote a riddle: Five less than 1/5 times a number is the same as the sume of the number and 1/3. Find the number.
Brrunno [24]

The number is -6.67

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "n" be the number

From given,

\text{ Five less than 1/5 times a number } = \frac{1}{5}n - 5 = \frac{5}{n} - 5

\text{Sum of number and 1/3 } = n + \frac{1}{3} =\frac{3n+1}{3}

Given that,

Five less than 1/5 times a number is the same as the sum of the number and 1/3

Therefore, we get,

\frac{n}{5} - 5 = n + \frac{1}{3}\\\\Simplify\ the\ expression\\\\n - 25 = 5(n + \frac{1}{3})\\\\n - 25 = 5n + \frac{5}{3}\\\\n - 25 = \frac{15n + 5}{3}\\\\3n - 75 = 15n + 5\\\\12n = -80\\\\n = -6.67

Thus the number is -6.67

A jar of alphabet tiles contains 10 unique consonant tiles and 5 unique vowel tiles.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: Probability that 3 are consonants and 2 are vowels is 0.3996.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of unique consonant tiles = 10

Number of unique vowel tiles = 5

Total number of tiles = 10+5=15

we need to pick 5 tiles randomly,

So, Probability that 3 are consonants and 2 are vowels is given by

\frac{^{10}C_3\times ^5C_2}{^{15}C_5}\\\\=\frac{\frac{10\times 9\times 8}{3\times 2\times 1}\times \frac{5\times 4}{2\times 1}}{\frac{15\times 14\times 13\times 12\times 11}{5\times 4\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1}}\\\\=0.3996

Hence, Probability that 3 are consonants and 2 are vowels is 0.3996.
