Write a word problem that involves combining three equal groups

2 answers:

7 0

Combining three equal groups means that we will mainly depend on multiplying the quantity by 3 to get the total

Examples are shown below:
1- Mrs Nadia teaches three classes. Each class has 25 student. How many students does Mrs Nadia teach in total?
In this problem we will be combining three equal groups of students where each group has 25 students, therefore:
Total number of students = 3 * 25 = 75 students

2- John has three bags of candies. Each bag contains 10 pieces of candies. How many candies does John has?
In this problem we will be combining three equal groups of candies where each group has 10 pieces, therefore:
Total number of candies = 3 * 10 = 30 candies

Hope this helps :)

By "three equal groups" I'm going to assume you mean three sets of different things with the same amount in each.

Word problem:

Josh went to the grocery store to buy fruit for smoothies. He bought 6 oranges, 6 apples, and 6 pears. How many fruits did he buy all together? What fraction of all of the fruits are the oranges?

Answer:

1) $n = 84$

2) $n = 78$

3) $n = 24$

4) $n = 16$

5) $n = 35$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve each proportion, we apply cross multiplication.

Question 1:

$\frac{5}{12} = \frac{35}{n}$

$5n = 35*12$

Simplifying both sides by 5

$n = 7*12 = 84$

Question 2:

$\frac{n}{52} = \frac{180}{120}$

$120n = 52*180$

Simplifying both sides by 20

$6n = 52*9$

Simplifying by 3

$2n = 52*3$

Simplifying by 2

$n = 26*3 = 78$

Question 3:

$\frac{18}{n} = \frac{21}{28}$

$21n = 18*28$

Simplifying both sides by 7

$3n = 18*4$

Simplifying both sides by 3

$n = 6*4 = 24$

Question 4:

$\frac{n}{4} = \frac{24}{6}$

$\frac{n}{4} = 4$

$n = 16$

Question 5:

$\frac{10}{16} = \frac{n}{56}$

$16n = 56*10$

Simplifying by 2, both sides

$8n = 56*5$

Simplifying by 8, both sides

$n = 7*5 = 35$

Un edificio proyecta una sombra de 7.5m.mientras que un arbol que mide 1.6 m de altura proyecta una sombra 1.85 M¿Cual es la alt

sattari [20]

Answer: The height of the building is 6.49 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be translated to:

"A building projects a 7.5 m shadow, while a tree with a height of 1.6 m projects a shadow of 1.85 m.

Which is the height of the building?"

We can conclude that the ratio between the projected shadow is and the actual height is constant for both objects, this means that if H is the height of the building, we need to have:

(height of the building)/(shadow of the building) = (height of the tree)/(shadow of the tree)

H/7.5m = 1.6m/1.85m

H = (1.6m/1.85m)*7.5m = 6.49m

The height of the building is 6.49 meters.

Aiko is finding the sum (4 + 5i) + (–3 + 7i). She rewrites the sum as (–3 + 7)i + (4 + 5)i. Which statement explains the mathema

yan [13]

In this item, it can be seen that from an expression of,
(4 + 5i) + (-3 + 7i)
Aiko transformed the equation by factoring out the i's from the expression and wrote it as,
(4 + 5)i + (-3 + 7)i
Now this is wrong because i there is not a variable but a notation that 5 and 7 are imaginary numbers. In fact, she cannot factor out the i's because it is not present in both -3 and 4. The answer therefore to this item is the last sentence, "Aiko incorrectly used the distributive property by combining ..."
