Answer:

At least 3 bags will be required to pack the fruit in equal amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of apples she buys =15

Number of oranges she buys = 18

Number of mangoes she buys = 21

we need to find the least possible number of bags used.

Solution:

To find the least possible number of bags required we will find the prime common factor.

Multiples of 15 = 3\times 5

Multiples of 18 = 3\times 3\times 2

Multiples of 21 = 3\times 7

so we can say that;

Highest common prime factor in all three numbers is 3.

Hence At least 3 bags will be required to pack the fruit in equal amount.

Exterior of scalene triangle sides are 25 and 15 and x. solve x.
Lyrx [107]

-- All three sides of a scalene triangle have different lengths.
So 'x' can't be 15 and it can't be 25.

-- 'x' must be 10 or more in order to reach between the ends
of the 25 and the 15.

-- 'x' must be less than 40 in order for the 25 and the 15 to reach
between its ends. 

So the value of 'x' must satisfy these conditions:

<em>0 < x < 15</em>
<em>15 < x < 25</em>
<em>25 < x < 40</em>

Any number that satisfies these conditions is an acceptable value for 'x'.
