Prime only has two factors one and its self a composite number has more factor than one and its self
exsample: 12 - 1,2,3,4,6,12 = 12 is a composite number
7 - 1,7 =prime number
# of apples
3/8(a)=# of oranges
p=# of pears
3/4(p)=# of oranges
(3/8)a=(3/4)p
(3/8)/(3/4)=p/a
(3/8)(6/8)=p/a
3/6=p/a
1/2=p/a
the ratios of pears to apples is 1 to 2
for every 1 pear there are 2 apples
if there are 4 pears there are 8 apples
there are 8 apples
(3/8)(8)=3 oranges
there are 4 pears
(3/4)(4)=3 oranges again
8 apples, 3 oranges, 4 pears
15 pieces of fruit and 3 are oranges
ratio is 3/15=1/5

The answer is ....1.237149 x 10^18
You don't have a question in there but I can tell you that the quadratic formula that is shown is not quite correct.
<span>x = -b ± √b2 - 4ac 2a
For one thing, the first 3 terms should ALL be divided by 2a
The square root symbol should be extended from b^2 through 4ac
The division symbol is missing.
So the quadratic formula SHOULD read:
x = [-b +- sq root (b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a
Also I have attached a graphic of the quadratic formula.
