There was a shipwreck at sea and Doug, Steve, and Phil got washed ashore on a small, isolated island. They were exhausted and fe

ll asleep on the beach. Doug woke up and saw a box of bananas had washed ashore. He ate 1/3 of bananas and went back to sleep. Steve woke up and also ate 1/3 of what was left of the bananas, and went back to sleep. Next, Phil woke up and assuming no one had eaten the bananas, ate only 1/3 of what was left. When he was finished, there were only 8 bananas left. Can you guess how many bananas were in the box?

Answer:

27

Explanation:

When Philn finished, the remaining 8 bananas represented 2/3 of the amount that had existed when he started (so each 1/3 = 4). Therefore there were 12 bananas (4 + 4 + 4)when he started, and when Steve

Following the same logic, the remaining 12 bananas represented 2/3 of the amount that had existed when Steve started (and each 1/3 = 6). Therefore there were 18 bananas (6 + 6 + 6) when he started, and when Doug finished.

Again, following the same logic, the remaining 18 bananas represented 2/3 of the amount that had existed when Doug started (and each 1/3 = 9). So, there must have been 27 (9 + 9 + 9) bananas originally.

1. Compare and contrast Bernini's sculpture David to earlier sculptures of David. What are the similarities and differences?
Shtirlitz [24]
Donatello’s sculpture of David was made out of bronze and stood 5 feet 2 ½ inchestall. Donatello’s version of David shows little muscle structure. It seems as though this versionof David has a more girlish figure. For example, the way David is standing with hips slightlytilted and a curled wrist placed on his hip, appears to me to be more of a ladies pose. A couplemore examples are the way he placed the curly looking hair, the leaves around the hat that iscurled upward and the forward position of one of his legs. This sculpture, to me, does not depict<span>strength.</span>
