Answer:

  1. 9 camels
  2. 6 camels
  3. 2 camels

Step-by-step explanation:

If I add 1 camel to the herd, the first person can get (1/2)×18 = 9 camels.

The second person gets (1/3)×18 = 6 camels.

The third person gets (1/9)×18 = 2 camels.

The total number of camels distributed is 9+6+2 = 17 camels.

The one remaining is returned to me.

  • 1st person: 9 camels
  • 2nd person: 6 camels
  • 3rd person: 2 camels

_____

<em>Comment on the question</em>

This is a trick question, a joke, a riddle. 17 camels cannot be divided in the given proportions without dividing a camel. The total of camels distributed should be 1/2 +1/3 +1/9 = 17/18 of the herd. Each person actually gets 18/17 of their allotment.

Levart [38]

Answer:

The acceleration is: a = -2 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that velocity is decreasing with time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • Initial velocity u = 10 m/s
  • Final velocity v = 0
  • Time taken t = 5 seconds

To determine

Acceleration a = ?

Using the formula to determine the acceleration

a = (v - u) / t

substituting u = 10 m/s, v = 0 and t = 5

a = (0 - 10) / 5

a = -10 / 5

a = -2 m/s²

Thus,

The acceleration is: a = -2 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that velocity is decreasing with time.

Help me please!!!!! I need help with angles
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

<CFE = 28

<RPQ = 53

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

<CFE + 152 = 180

<CFE = 180 - 152

<CFE = 28

2)

Complementary means the angles add up to 90 so:

<RPQ + 37 = 90

<RPQ = 90 - 37

<RPQ = 53
