A basket contains 12 apples and some other fruit
40% of the total fruit are apples...so 40% of the total fruit is 12..

0.40x = 12....with x being the total fruit in the basket <== ur equation
x = 12 / 0.40
x = 30....and u have 30 pieces of fruit in the basket

A number has only 1 factor pair. One of its factors is twice the other factor. What is the number? Explain.
Mrrafil [7]
<h3>Answer:  2</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

If a number only has one factor pair, then that number must be prime. This is because prime numbers only have factors of 1 and the number itself.

For instance, the value 7 is prime because the only factors of this are 1 and 7.

For something like the number 32, it is composite and not prime because it has the factors {1,2,4,8,16,32} and it leads to these three factor pairs: 1*32, 2*16, 4*8. This is one example showing why the answer isn't composite.

-----------

Let's say that p is the unknown prime we want to find. The factors of this are 1 and p. We're told that "one of the factors is twice the other factor", so that must mean p = 2*1 = 2. We can see that 2 is twice that of 1.

This is urgent, please answer!

1/2 = 0.5

12 & 1/2 = 12 + 1/2 = 12 + 0.5 = 12.5

4 & 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5

Refer to the diagram below. Note how I divided the figure into two rectangles.

The larger red rectangle is 12.5 feet by 10 feet. It has area 12.5*10 = 125 square feet.

The smaller blue rectangle has dimensions 4.5 feet by 5 feet (the 5 is from 15-10 = 5), so it has area 4.5*5 = 22.5 square feet

Now add up those individual areas to get the total area

125+22.5 = 147.5

Then convert that to a mixed number

147.5 = 147 + 0.5 = 147 + 1/2 = 147 & 1/2

<h3>The correct area is 147 & 1/2 feet</h3>
