3 out of 5 picks are orange. if 12 picks are orange haw many picks are in all
2 answers:
In this problem we'll work with fractions and equality:
So, "3 out of 5" is represented by . The numerator is the number of orange picks, and the denominator is the total number of picks.
So, if we have 12 orange picks, it means that from our original fraction () the 3 became a 12, which means it has been multiplied by 4. Finally, we multiply our denominator by the same number: 4 * 5 = 20
Therefore:
In all, there were 20 picks, 12 of them orange, or as a fraction,

In the figure below, BL, AM, and CK are medians of △ABC. If KC = 108 and OC = 2n + 10, then n=
The picture is attached below.
The value of n is 31.
The median is the line connecting the vertex and its midpoint on the opposite side of the triangle.
The intersection of all 3 medians of the triangle is called the centroid.
As we know centroid divides the median in the ratio of 2:1.
In the given picture,
Medians of triangle △ABC are AM, BL, and CK.
So the centroid of the triangle is O.
Given that KC= 108
As the centroid O divides the line KC in 2:1.
Let OC=2x
KO= X
As KC= KO+OC
⇒ 108= x+2x
⇒ 3x=108
⇒ x=108/3
⇒ x=36
Then OC= 2x= 2*36= 72
As given in the question OC= 2n+10
putting the value of OC in above equation
⇒ 72= 2n+10
⇒ 2n= 72-10
⇒ 2n=62
⇒ n=62/2
⇒n=31
Therefore the value of n is 31.
