The number of bananas required to make the third scale balance is 3.

<h3>What is a scale?</h3>

A scale is a tool used for weighting objects. If the objects on each side weigh the same the scale is balanced. Based on this, let's determine the possible weight of each fruit to balance the last scale.

Scale 1 (10 bananas/ 2 pineapples)

It is known 10 bananas weigh as much as 2 apples, but to solve this problem let's assume 10 bananas weigh a total of 1000 grams.

10 banans = 1000 grams = each banana weighs 100 grams
2 pineapples = 1000 grams = each pineapple weighs 500 grams

Scale 2 ( 1 pineapple / 2 bananas, 1 apple)

Using the same imaginary weights let's find the weight of the apple.

1 pineapple = 500 grams
2 bananas = 200 grams
1 apple = 300 grams (500 - 200 = 300)

Scale 3 (1 apple /x )

We know 1 apple is equal to 300 grams and 1 banana is equal to 100 grams. Based on this, the number of bananas to balance the scale is 3.

Answer:

for swimming his speed was 2 miles an hour

for biking his avarage was 12 miles an hour

Which of the points listed is the same distance from the y-axis as the point (−1.5, 6)?

Volgvan

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
<span>the distance from a point to line (y-axis) is the perpendicular line against y-axis, which is the absolute value of x-coordinates
</span>
in this problem
the point <span>(−1.5, 6)
the </span>absolute value of x-coordinates is 1.5
hence
the distance is 1.5

therefore

the answer is
the option B) the point (1.5,-3)
