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)

it takes electricians 36 days to wire a new housing subdivision. how many days would 32 electricians take to do the same job?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

The 32 electricians will take 1 day and 3 hours to complete the wiring.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it takes electricians 36 days to wire a new housing subdivision, to determine how many days would 32 electricians take to do the same job the following calculation must be performed:

36/32 = X

1.125 = X

1 = 24

0.125 = X

0.125 x 24 = X

3 = X

Therefore, the 32 electricians will take 1 day and 3 hours to complete the wiring.
