Answer:

60 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

There are some number of apples in the box which is less than 80.

Now, it is given in the condition that all the apples can be divided evenly among 3, 4, and 5 children.

Therefore, the number of apples is a common multiple of 3, 4, and 5 which is less than 80.

Now, multiples of 3 less than 80 are 78, 75, 72, 69, 66, 63, 60, etc.

And, multiples of 4 less than 80 are 76, 72, 68, 64, 60, 56, etc.

Again, multiples of 5 less than 80 are 75, 70, 65, 60, 55, etc.

Therefore, the common multiple less than 80 is 60.

Hence, there were 60 apples in the box. (Answer)

Which equation can you use to solve for the volume of the cake?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

C. (40 × 60 × 10) + (30 × 60 × 10) = V

Step-by-step explanation:

Picture of the cake can be found in the attachment below :

To solve, we resolve the cake into two distinct boxes :

The lower which is lateral sits parallel, whose volume, = (length * width * height) = (60 * 30 * 10)

And the other which sits vertically ;

Volume = (length * width * height) = (10 * 60 * 40)

Then, we add;

Overall volume:

(60 * 30 * 10) + (10 * 60 * 40)

Answer:

He used 6 bananas at .50 which cost $3.00

12 oranges at .75 which cost $9.00 and

3 papayas at $1.25 which cost $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations using the information given.

b for banana, r for orange, p for papaya

b + r + p = 21. Also given r = 2b So substitute to simplify for calculating two unknowns:

b + 2b + p = 21 The number of items.

50b + 75(2b) +125p = 1575 The cost.

<em>I </em><em>multiplied</em><em> </em><em>everything</em><em> </em><em>by </em><em>100 </em><em>to </em><em>eliminate</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>decimals</em><em>.</em>

To solve by substituion, rewrite the first equation to get a value for p in terms of b

p = 21 - 3b

Substitute this value in the second equation and solve for b.

50b + 150b + 125(21–3b) = 1575

200b +2625 –375b = 1575 Subtract 2625 from both sides and combine the like terms:

–175b = 1575 –2625

–175b = –1050. Divide both sides by –175

b = 6

Substitute in the original equation to find the amount of each fruit:

b + r + p = 21

b = 6 bananas

r = 2b. 2(6) = 12 oranges. <em>I </em><em>used </em><em><u>r </u></em><em>so </em><em>as </em><em>not</em><em> to</em><em> </em><em>mix </em><em>up </em><em>o </em><em>with </em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em> </em>

6 + 12 + p = 21

p = 21 –18

p = 3 papayas
