77 unicorns, because yesterday the ratio was 6:5 and today it is 3:4. If you add the numbers for both ratios together, you get 11 and 7. Finding the LCM of these two gives 77 (because 7 and 11 are both prime).

You find the LCM of the sums because when you find values based on ratios, you divide value by the sum of the ratio.

e.g. I have 100 fruits. The ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. How many apples are there?

To solve this you'd add 2 and 3 (5), divide 100 by 5 (20), multiply that by 2 (40) because that's the ratio of apples to oranges.

In this case, you do the reverse. So If I have 77 unicorns, then yesterday there were (77/11 = 7, 7*6= 42, 7*5= 35) 42 green unicorns and 35 yellow. The sum of 42 and 35 is 77. If you do this process with the other ratio you'll get similar results as well.

The average of four different positive integers is 9. What is the greatest value for one of the integers?
saul85 [17]

From the given information; Let the unknown different positive integers be (a, b, c and d).

An integer is a set of element that are infinite and numeric in nature, these numbers do not contain fractions.

Suppose we make an assumption that (a) should be the greatest value of this integer.

Then, the other three positive integers (b, c and d) can be 1, 2 and 3 respectively in order to make (a) the greatest value of the integer.

Therefore, the average of this integers = 9

Mathematically;

\mathbf{\dfrac{(a+b+c+d)}{4} =9}

\mathbf{\dfrac{(a+1+2+3)}{4} =9}

\mathbf{\dfrac{(6+a)}{4} =9}

By cross multiplying;

6+a = 9 × 4

6+a = 36

a = 36 - 6

a = 30

Therefore, we can conclude that from the average of four positive integers which is equal to 9, the greatest value for one of the selected integers is equal to 30.
