How many bananas are needed to make the third scale balance?

Mathematics

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.

Divide.
algol13

Answer:

Answer in simplified form is - 10 1/2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

(5 1/4) ÷ (- 2 1/2)

This can be simplified as :

(5 1/4) ÷ ( -2 1/2)

Since 5 1/4 = 21/4  and -2 1/ 2 = -5/2

So we can write,

(5 1/4) ÷ ( -2 1/2) = 21/4 ÷ ( - 5/2)

or (21/4) / (-5/2)

or ( 21/4) * (-2/5)

or -42/20

or -21/10

or - 10 1/2 , this is the answer

Hence we get answer in simplified form as -10 1/2

Airida [17]

Answer:

About 8595 students

Step-by-step explanation:

If approximately 9/20 of the students are male, multiplying this by the total number of students enrolled will give a good approximation of the total number of enrolled males. 9/20 * 19100=8595. Hope this helps!

water enters a pool at an increasing rate given by W(t)=1+3t gallons per minute from t=0 to t=5 minutes. Find the amount of wate
Scorpion4ik [409]

The amount of water that has entered the pool over these five minutes is 42.5 gallons.

Given the rate at which water enter the pool W(t). To calculate the amount of water that has entered the pool over these five minutes, we integrate W(t) over the interval t = 0 to t = 5.

Amount\ of \ water=\int\limits^0_5 {W(t)} \, dt \\\\\\Amount\ of \ water=\int\limits^0_5 {(1+3t)} \, dt \\\\\\Amount\ of \ water=[t+1.5t^2]_0^5\\\\\\Amount\ of \ water=42.5\ gallons

The amount of water that has entered the pool over these five minutes is 42.5 gallons.
