You can do this using fractions. Start with 10 over 5-
10 mangoes 18 mangoes
------------------ = --------------------
5 minutes x
we put x there because that is the part of the equation we need to find out. You can do this in a couple of ways. One way is to multiply 18 by 5, and divide by 10.
18×5= 90, and 90 is divisible by 10. 90÷10=9. 9 is your answer.
There are multiple strategies, so here is another way to solve the problem. This is probably the simplest way, but it doesn't work with some
We are using fractions again, so here is what we start with:
10 mangoes 18 mangoes
------------------ = -------------------
5 minutes x
Now, you can just divide the fraction(numerator divided by denominator). For normal fractions, like 1/4 or 5/8, the answer would be the decimal version of the fraction. However, we are using improper fractions, so the answer will be greater than one.
10÷5=2, so if you divide 18 by 2, you get 9, confirming the answer we got with the other strategy.(There is one more strategy, but it takes a little longer to do.)
Hope this helped! Sorry if it's long.
The conceiver of one of mankind's coolest ideas for boundless clean energy died last week. He was 90 and first published his ideas in 1968, a year before NASA put a man on the moon. In its December 1972 issue, Popular Science described engineer Peter Glaser's proposal:
Answer:
They came to the Americas to escape poverty, warfare, political turmoil, famine and disease. They believed colonial life offered new opportunities. Virginia/Jamestown -Jamestown was the first of the 13 colonies after the failure to establish a colony on Roanoke Island.
True because not one branch has significant advantage over the other.
