Answer:

Number of apples remaining with him will be 2 when we combined both the conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Number of apples Jack Picked =76

Number of apples sold to Juanita = 4y

Number of apples sold to Sylvia = 3t

We need to find the Number of apples remaining with him.

Solution:

To find the Number of apples remaining with him we will Subtract Number of apples sold to Juanita and Number of apples sold to Sylvia from Number of apples Jack Picked.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of apples remaining with him = 76-4y-3t

Now Given:

Condition 1 : y ≥ 15 and t = 2

So we can assume y =16 and t =2

Number of apples remaining with him = 76-4\times16-3\times2 = 76 -64 -6 = 6

Also we can say that y =17 and t =2

Number of apples remaining with him = 76-4\times17-3\times2 = 76 -68 -6 = 2

So the Given data is Insufficient to find the Number of apples remaining with him.

Condition 2 : y = 17

Number of apples remaining with him = 76-4\times17-3t = 76 -68 -3t = 8-3t

Since value of t is not given we can say that;

Given data is insufficient to find the number of apples remaining with him.

Condition 3 : Combined i.e y = 17 and y≥ 15 t = 2

Number of apples remaining with him = 76-4\times17-3\times2 = 76 -68 -6 = 2

Hence we can say that Number of apples remaining with him will be 2 when we combined both the conditions.

Answer: 5/6 ÷ 5/12 = 5/6 x [12]/[5] = [60]/30 =2

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to this is knowing that when you divide anything by a fraction, it is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction, or the flipped version. In this case, we are given 5/6 divided by 5/12, which equals 5/6 x12/5. Then you can so normal fraction multiplication to get 60/30, which is 2.

How do you solve this?? Please help!
Aleks04 [339]

f = (f1 f2) / (f1 + f2)

f(f1 + f2) =  f1 f2

f f 1 + f  f 2 = f1 f 2

f1 f2 - f f2 = f f1

f2 (f1 - f)  = f f1

f2 = (f f1) / (f1 - f) <==== solution
