This question is really simple if you focus on this part

“The sum of any two is divisible by the third”

<span>⟹⟹</span> Pairwise, the numbers must have a GCD greater than one.

Let this GCD be <span>xx</span>.

The first three easiest numbers I can think of are <span><span>x,2x</span><span>x,2x</span></span> and <span><span>3x</span><span>3x</span></span>

Because

<span><span>gcd(x,2x)=gcd(2x,3x)=gcd(3x,x)=x</span><span>gcd(x,2x)=gcd(2x,3x)=gcd(3x,x)=x</span></span>

The numbers sum to <span>9696</span>

<span><span>⟹x+2x+3x=96</span><span>⟹x+2x+3x=96</span></span>

<span><span>⟹6x=96</span><span>⟹6x=96</span></span>

<span><span>⟹x=16</span><span>⟹x=16</span></span>

The largest number is <span><span>3x=3×16=48</span><span>3x=3×16=48</span></span>

Thanks for the A2A

A baker bought 12 pounds of flour.He used 5/6 of the flour how many pounds are left​
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

2 pounds are left.

Step-by-step explanation:

12 pounds divided into 6 parts (or sixths) = 2 pounds each. 5 of those 6ths were used, so 10 pounds used. 2 pounds are left.

Alternately, multiply 12 x 5 for your numerator = 60, divide by 5, your denominator, and get 10 pounds used.
