<span>The answer is 4 baskets.Look for the highest number that all these given numbers (16, 20, and 24) can be divided by. They are all divisible by 4. In each of the 4 baskets, there will be 4 oranges, 5 apples, and 6 pears (these are the results of each division).</span>

the clerk has - 16 oranges 20 apples 24 pears

he needs to put all three fruits into baskets without any leftover fruits

each basket should have equal amounts of each fruit

so to find the largest number of baskets he can make we have to find the highest common factor for 16,20 and 24

so lets find the factors for each of these

16 - 1,2,4,8,16

20 - 1,2,4,5,10,20

24 - 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

from the given factors the common factors for all three are 1,2 and 4

from these the highest factor is 4

therefore the largest number of baskets he can make are 4

in each basket there will be

4 oranges 5 apples 8 pears


answer is 4 baskets

two trains leave stations 210 miles apart at the same time and travel tword each other. one train at 85 miles per hour while the
hodyreva [135]

recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.


let's say we have two trains, A and B, A is going at 85 mph and B at 65 mph.


they are 210 miles apart and moving toward each other, at some point they will meet, when that happens, the faster train A has covered say d miles, and the slower B has covered then the slack from 210 and d, namely 210 - d.


When both trains meet, A has covered more miles than B because A is faster, however the time both have been moving, is the same, say t hours.


\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ \textit{Train A}&d&85&t\\ \textit{Train B}&210-d&65&t \end{array}\\\\ \dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} \boxed{d}=85t\\ 210-d=65t\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ 210-\boxed{85t}=65t \end{cases} \\\\\\ 210=150t\implies \cfrac{210}{150}=t\implies \cfrac{7}{5}=t\implies \stackrel{\textit{one hour and 24 minutes}}{1\frac{2}{5}=t}

3) Mr. Brust is addicted to Red Bull and has decided that he wants to plaster his room at school with Red Bull cans.
Bogdan [553]

Mr. Brust needs 427 cans to cover the wall of dimensions 20 feet long and 9 feet tall.

<h3>What is area of rectangle?</h3>

Area of rectangle is the product of its sides

i.e., Area of rectangle = length  x breadth

<h3>What is area of circle?</h3>

The area of a circle is pi times the radius squared (A = π r²).

<h3>What is circumference of circle?</h3>

The circumference of a circle is defined as the linear distance around it.

( C= 2πr)

The can of red bull is in shape of cylinder.

If we open the cylinder it will have two circular surfaces( at bottom and top) and one rectangular sheet.

Like the given figure given.

  • The can is 6.5 inches tall and has a diameter of about 2.5 inches.

 

It shows that the two circle will have the diameter 2.5 inches.

d= 2.5 inch

 = 0.208 ft

radius, r= \frac{d}{2}

r= \frac{0.208}{2}

r= 0.104 ft

  • To get the length of the rectangle , we have to calculate the circumference of the circle.

Circumference of the circle be,

= 2πr

= 2 x 3.14 x 0.104

= 0.653 ft

The rectangular sheet will have,

length=  0.653 ft, breadth= 6.5 inches = 0.541 ft

  • Now, area of rectangular sheet be,

      = length x breadth

      = 0.653 x 0.541

      =0.3532  ft^{2}

  • Area of 2 circle( top and bottom of can) be,

       = 2 x πr^{2}

       = 2 x 3.14 x 0.104 x 0.104

       = 6.28 x 0.010816

       = 0.0679 ft^{2}

  • Total area of can be,

        = Area of rectangular sheet + Area of 2 circle( top and bottom of can)

        = 0.3532 + 0.0679

        = 0.4211 ft^{2}

Now, we have the wall of dimensions

length= 9 ft, breadth= 20 ft

  • Area of wall be,

= length x breadth

=9 x 20

= 180 ft^{2}

  • Number of cans required to cover the whole wall be,

         =\frac{area \;of\; wall}{area \;of\; can}

         =\frac{180}{0.4211}

         = 427.45 cans

         ≈ 428 cans
