There was a total of 18 apples

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let us consider the total no. of apples be 'a'.

Patriarca took 1/6 of the apples. So the remaining apples is,

   a - (1/6) a= (5/6) a

Step 1:

His wife takes (1/5) of the rest of the apples. So after she takes the apples the remaining apples will be,

   (5/6) a - (1/5) (5/6) a

   (5/6) a - (1/6) a = (4/6) a

Step 2 :

Her elder son takes (1/4) of the remaining apples. So,

   (4/6) a - (1/4) (4/6) a

   (4/6) a - (1/6) a = (3/6) a

Step 3:

Middle son takes (1/3) of the remaining apples. So,

   (3/6) a - (1/3) (3/6) a

   (3/6) a - (1/6) a = (2/6) a

Step 4:

Younger son takes (1/2) of the remaining apples. So,

   (2/6) a - (1/2) (2/6) a

   (2/6) a - (1/6) a = (1/6) a

After work she takes the remaining 3 apples. So the remaining apples were 3

So,

   (1/6) a = 3

       a = 3 x 6

      a = 18 apples

There were a total of 18 apples.

1. y-23=55 2. x-14= -8
leva [86]

Answer:

1. y = 32

2. x = 6

3. -33 = n

4. a = -15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

y-23=55

 +23  +23          (23 cancels)

y = 32

2.

x - 14 = -8

 +14      +14           (-14 cancels)

   x = 6

3.

-15 = n + 18

    -18       -18          (18 cancels)

    -33 = n

4.

18.3 + a = 2.7

-18.3        -18.3        (18.3 cancels)

         a = -15.6

Drag and drop the constant of proportionality into the box to match the table.
NemiM [27]

Answer: it is NOT proportional

Step-by-step explanation: it doesn’t stick to 1 number going up if that makes sense, it’s adding 1 each time it goes up but it has to stick to one number going up making this NOT proportional

Elio makes candles that are 14 cm tall. Each candle burns 8 hours before going out. He is wondering how many hours a 21 cm tall
MAXImum [283]
Elio is right in assuming the relationship between the height and the hours it burns is proportional.

Find the unit rate

14 ÷ 8 = 1.75 cm/h

Divide

21 ÷ 1.75 = 12

You can set this up as an algebraic equation to check the answer.

If the candle is 21 cm tall, it will burn for 12 hours.

Hope this helped you! :)
