Answer:
64 cherries
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
There are 280 pieces of fruit in a fruit salad
There are twice as many raspberries as blueberries,
three times as many grapes as cherries,
and four times as many cherries as raspberries
We need to find out the number of cherries in the fruit salad
So,
Let us assume the blueberries be x
So, the raspberries be 2x
Cherries be 8x
And, grapes be 24x
Now
x + 2x + 24x + 8x = 280
35x = 280
x = 8
hence, the No of cherries in the salad
= 8 x
= 8(8)
= 64 cherries

The answer is the C let me know if you need the work
This involves quite a lot of arithmetic to do manually.
The first thing you do is to make the first number in row 2 = to 0.
This is done by R2 = -3/2 R1 + R2
so the matrix becomes
( 2 1 1) ( -3 )
( 0 -13/2 3/2) (1/2 )
(5 -1 2) (-2)
Next step is to make the 5 in row 5 = 0
then the -1 must become zero
You aim for the form
( 1 0 0) (x)
(0 1 0) (y)
(0 0 1) ( z)
x , y and z will be the required solutions.
