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.

Describe your favorite outfit. What design choices did the designer make that you really appreciate?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

My favorite outfit is one with some black khakis, a blazer, a white shirt and a belt. The Designer made my pants not tight to my skin but kinda loose, he also made my belt a perfect fit around my waist, another thing is the shirt is easy to slip in and out, and finally my balizer is not tight and it has a little pocket for a kerchief. Thank you for your time.

which piece of legislation requires employers to eliminate or minimize exposure to contaminated sharps?
KIM [24]
The answer to this is needlestick safety and prevention.

The Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act(Public Law 106 - 430) is made by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) from US Department of Labor. It is made because many pathogens are bloodborne. The accidental sharp injuries in the medical field also are frequent and dangerous. This act will help protect the healthcare and prevent disease spread by needlestick.
Hope this helped :)
