Answer:

Eldest brother = 18 camels

2nd brother = 12 camels

Youngest brother = 4 camels

Step-by-step explanation:

Question posted:

How could we know how many camels actually correspond to each brother?

It is from "the man who calculated":

The question is incomplete without the background information.

Based on the question, It has to do with sharing an inheritance of 35 camels among 3 brothers.

"The man who calculated", by Malba Tahan.

Since the complete question isn't available, we are going to look at the following question to understand how to do the calculation.

Question:

How can an inheritance of 35 camels be divided among three brothers in such a way that the eldest brother gets half of them, the second one gets 1/3 of the total and the youngest brother gets 1/9 of the total camels?

Solution:

Total number of camels= 35

Eldest brother gets half: 1/2 of 35 gives a fraction and not an whole number

2nd brother = 1/3 of 35 (gives a fraction)

3rd brother = 1/9 of 35 (gives a fraction)

Since we can't have a camel in fraction except in whole number, we would look for the closest number to 35 that would be divided by 2, 3 and 9 respectively without giving a fraction.

Number 36 is the closest number to 35 that satisfies this condition.

1st brother = 1/2 × 36 = 18 camels

2nd brother = 1/3 × 36 = 12 camels

3rd brother = 1/9 × 36 = 4 camels

Now let's add the camels the 3 brother got together = 18 + 12 + 4 = 34 camels

Total camels - amount shared = 35 -34 = 1

Meaning one camel is remaining. The distributor would keep the remaining one as that's the way such distributions could be achieved.

Define four symbolic constants that represent integer 25 in decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal formats
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

1) Decimal    25= (25)_{10}

2) Binary    25= (11001)_2

3) Octal   25= (31)_8

4) Hexadecimal   25= (19)_{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Integer is 25                      

To find : Represent integer in decimal, binary, octal, and hexadecimal formats.

Solution :

1) Integer into decimal - To convert into decimal the base goes to 10.

So, 25= (25)_{10}

2) Integer into binary - To convert into binary the base goes to 2, it form in 0 and 1 and we divide integer by 2.

Divide 25 by 2 and note down the remainders.

2 | 25

2 | 12    R=1    ←

2 | 6     R=0   ↑

2 | 3      R=0  ↑

2 | 1  →   R=1   ↑

So,   25= (11001)_2

3) Integer into octal - To convert into octal the base goes to 8 and we divide integer by 8.

Divide 25 by 8 and note down the remainders.

8 | 25

  | 3 →   R=1    

So,   25= (31)_8

4) Integer into hexadecimal - To convert into hexadecimal the base goes to 16 and we divide integer by 16.

Divide 25 by 16 and note down the remainders.

16 | 25

   | 1 →   R=9    

So,   25= (19)_{16}
