Three sailors were marooned on a deserted island that was also inhabited by a band of monkeys. The sailors worked all day to col

lect coconuts but were too tired that night to count them, They agreed to divide them equally the next morning. During the night, one sailor woke up and decided to take his share. He found that he could make three equal piles, with one coconut left over, which he threw to the monkeys. Thereupon, he put his own share in a pile down the beach, and left the remainder in a single pile near where they all slept. Later that night, the second sailor awoke and, likewise, decided to take his share of coconuts. He also was able to make three equal piles, with one coconut left over, which he threw to the monkeys. Somewhat later, the third sailor awoke and did exactly the same thing with the remaining coconuts. In the morning, all three sailors noticed that the pile was considerably smaller, but each thought that he knew why and said nothing. When they then divided what was left of the original pile of coconuts equally, each sailor received seven and one was left over, which they threw to the monkeys. How many coconuts were in the original pile

I have a math problem does anyone know what is. <br> 18 is 50% of____
ohaa [14]
Remember:  50% means 1/2.  So, if 18 is 50%, or 1/2, of a number, the number must be double 18.

18 x 2 = 36

18 is 50% of 36.

a) A battalion of soldiers wanted to have a parade forming a square design with 1,536 soldiers. Is it possible ? If not how many
Dmitrij [34]
A square with 1,536 soldiers are not possible, i.e. the square root of 1,536 is about 39.191, which means that 1,536 is not a square a number. In order for it to be a square number, we have to round up 39.191 (because it says "how many more soldiers") to 40 and 40×40=1,600 and 1,600-1,536, so we need 64 more soldiers.

The greatest 4 digit number is simple. If the square root of 10,000 is 100, than, one can assume that because 100-1=99, the resulting answer of 99×99 is less than 10,000, meaning that is is 4 digits. 99×99=9,801.
