Salama makes fruit baskets with oranges and bananas.

vovangra [49]

The ratio for problem is:

oranges : bananas = 9 : 6 or oranges : bananas = 6 : 4

Solution:

Given that, Salama makes fruit baskets with oranges and bananas

She uses between 8 and 16 oranges and bananas in a ratio of 3 oranges to 2 bananas

Given ratio is:

Ratio of orange to bananas = 3 : 2

They add up to 5 fruits, so some possible values are 5, 10, 15 , 20, 25, etc

But we need a value between 8 and 16 oranges and bananas

So we can choose 15 or 10

Now let us choose 15 and solve

Let the oranges be 3x

Let the bananas be 2x

Therefore,

3x + 2x = 15

5x = 15

x = 3

Thus oranges = 3x = 3(3) = 9

Bananas = 2x = 2(3) = 6

Thus the ratio for problem is:

oranges : bananas = 9 : 6

Similarly solve for 10

3x + 2x = 10

5x = 10

x = 2

Thus oranges = 3x = 3(2) = 6

Bananas = 2x = 2(2) = 4

Thus the ratio for problem is:

oranges : bananas = 6 : 4

F(x)=2^x evaluate f(5)

Helen [10]

Hey there!

To solve this, we will first replace x with 5 anytime we see it in the equation.

f(5) = 2^5

Now, we simplify 2^5.

The base is 2 and the exponent is 5 in this case.

The exponent is the number of times you multiply the base by itself. In oour case:

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 32

f(5) = 32

Hope this helps!

Amanda is 25 years old. in 5 years she will be twice as old as simone how old i simone

Nadya [2.5K]

We could use Algebra for this question but it’s quite simile so won’t need it. If Amanda is 25, when we add on 5 years she’ll be 30. Now it says when she’s 30, she will be twice as old as Simone. Implying that Simone will be half of Amanda’s age. In this case 30/2 = 15. So Simone must be 15.
