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.

Find the length of c using the Pythagorean theorem
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem state

a^2 +b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

5^2 + 12^2 = c^2

25+144 = c^2

169 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(169) = sqrt(c^2)

13 = c

A mexican restaurant sells quesadillas in two sizes: a “large” 12 inch-round quesadilla and a “small” 6 inch-round quesadilla. W
Mumz [18]

Answer:

"half of the 12-inch quesadilla" is larger

Step-by-step explanation:

The "inch size" is the diameter of the circular quesadilla.

The area of circle is given by  \pi r^2

We also know radius is half of diameter.

<u>HALF OF 12-INCH QUESADILLA:</u>

12in diameter = 6 inch radius, the area is:

\pi(6)^2=36\pi

Half of this is:

\frac{36\pi}{2}=18\pi

<u>ENTIRE 6-INCH QUESADILLA:</u>

6 inch diameter means 6/2 = 3 inch radius

The area of this is:

\pi(3)^2 = 9\pi

<u>So, we can say that "half of the 12-inch quesadilla" is larger.</u>

Match the solution set given in inequality notation with the solution set given in interval motion x &gt; 7.8
Maslowich

Answer:

(7.8, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality :

x > 7.8 ; the inequality can be explicitly interpreted as x greater than 8 ; this means that the inequality holds for all values of x above 7.8

The interval for which the inequality holds true is :

x > 7. 8 - - - > (7.8, ∞)
