Step-by-step explanation:

You have 120 bottles of Cola and 120 bottles of Sprite.

You can exchange 3 empty Cola bottles for a new bottle of Sprite.

You can exchange 4 empty Sprite bottles for a new bottle of Cola.

You can borrow empty bottles, but must return them in the end.

What is the maximal number of bottles of drink that you can drink? Prove the optimality of your result.

As this is a puzzle, please give short and clever answers rather than tedious bruteforce calculations.

What are the possible values of remainder r, when a positive integer 'a' is divided by 3

fredd [130]

Answer:

0, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Euclid's division Lemma states that for any two positive integers ‘a’ and ‘b’ there exist two unique whole numbers ‘q’ and ‘r’ such that , a = bq + r, where 0≤ r < b.

Here, a= Dividend, b= Divisor, q= quotient and r = Remainder.

According to Euclid's division lemma a 3q+r, where 0≤r≤3 and r is an integer.

Therefore, the values of r can be 0, 1 or 2.

The crosssectional areas of triangular prism and a night cylinder are congruent. The triangular prism has a helght of 5 units, a

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The volume of the triangular prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The cross sectional area of triangular prism and a night cylinder are congruent. The term 'congruent' means when two objects or shapes are placed above each other , they should both overlap exactly.

It was given that:

The triangular prism has a height of 5 units

and the right cylinder height of 3 units

The conclusion that can be drawn from this is that:

The volume of the triangular prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder.

This is because, they do not occur in the same family. A triangular prism is a three - dimensional shape that has identical, parallel ends and parallel faces.

A triangular prism has two triangles at it ends and three rectangular faces.

The volume of the triangular prism is calculate by using the formula:

$V= \dfrac{1}{2}\times b \times h\times l$

On the other hand, a cylinder is a shape with two circular ends and a curved surface.The two circular ends are congruent and both circular end posses the same cross section from one end to the other in the cylinder.

The volume of a cylinder is calculated by using the formula:

V = πr²h

Thus, we conclude that irrespective of the nature of their congruency, since the heights are different which will definitely affects their volume, the the volume of the triangular prism is not equal to the volume of the cylinder.
