Answer:
30 fruits
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> number of plums on the plate
y ----> number of apples on the plate
we know that
The ratio of the number of plums to the number of apples was 3:2
so
----> equation A
After Ed took 6 plums from the plate, the number of plums remaining on the plate became the same as the number of apples
so
----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
solve for y
Find the value of x
therefore
Mon put on the table
<h3>Answer: 40</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
JQ is longer than QN. We can see this visually, but the rule for something like this is the segment from the vertex to the centroid is longer compared to the segment that spans from the centroid to the midpoint.
See the diagram below.
The ratio of these two lengths is 2:1, meaning that JQ is twice as long compared to QN. This is one property of the segments that form when we construct the centroid (recall that the centroid is the intersection of the medians)
We know that JN = 60
Let x = JQ and y = QN
The ratio of x to y is x/y and this is 2/1
x/y = 2/1
1*x = y*2
x = 2y
Now use the segment addition postulate
JQ + QN = JN
x + y = 60
2y + y = 60
3y = 60
y = 60/3
y = 20
QN = 20
JQ = 2*y = 2*QN = 2*20 = 40
--------------
We have
JQ = 40 and QN = 20
We see that JQ is twice as larger as QN and that JQ + QN is equal to 60.
