Answer:

prime factorization of 24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 = 2^3 * 3

Step-by-step explanation:

List the first several prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, ...

Now start with 2. Divide 24 by 2 as many times as possible. Then move on to 3, to 5, etc. until you end up with 1.

Divide only by prime numbers.

Start by dividing 24 by 2:

24/2 = 12 12 is divisible by 2, so divide 12 by 2.

12/2 = 6 6 is also divisible by 2, so divide 6 by 2.

6/2 = 3 Since 3 is not divisible by 2, move onto 3.

3/3 = 1 When you get to 1, stop. The prime factors are all the prime numbers in boldface that you divided by.

prime factorization of 24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 = 2^3 * 3

As per your question, total cost of watermelon should end with either 5(for odd quantity) or 0(for even quantity).

If the quantity of watermelon is odd, then the total cost value of pineapple should end with 3 and this is not possible when the cost of pineapple is ₹7.

So let's come to conclusion that the count(quantity) of watermelon should be any one of 0, 2, 4, 6.

If count of watermelon is 6: It will cost ₹30 and for remaining ₹8, we can buy 1 pineapple but still ₹1 will not be utilised. So 1 pineapple is not possible

If count of watermelon is 4: It will cost ₹20 and for remaining ₹18, we can buy 2 pineapple with ₹4 not being utilised. So 2 pineapple is also not possible.

If count of watermelon is 2: It will cost ₹10 and for remaining ₹28, we can buy 4 pineapple with all amount being utilised. We can buy 4 pineapple along with with 2 watermelon for ₹38.

If count of watermelon is 0: It will cost you ₹0 and for remaining ₹38, we can buy 5 pineapple with ₹3 being not utilised. So 5 pineapple is also not possible.

So the answer is 4 pineapple.

12.) This does not follow the rule of conservation because on the reactant side there is one Na and two Cl while the product side only has one Na and Cl. They are not equal and do not have the same number of atoms for the different elements. In the law of conservation matter cannot be created or destroyed and this does not follow the law.

13.) 2Na + Cl2 —> 2NaCl

Put a 2 in front of Na and a 2 in front of NaCl
