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.

For every 1/4 metric ton it takes 1/8 hours
then multipling by 8 to make the hours =1
for every 2 metric tons it take 1 hour
so the quotient is 2 metric tons per 1 hour

Which statements are true about these lines? Select three options.
shepuryov [24]
RS is perpendicular to MN and PQ.


We can use the slopes of these lines to determine the answer.
Slope is given by the formula
m=.

Using the coordinates for M and N, we have:
m=.

Since PQ is parallel to MN, its slope will be as well, since parallel lines have the same slope.

Using the coordinates for points T and V in the slope formula, we have
m=.

This is not parallel to MN or PQ, since the slopes are not the same.
We can also say that it is not perpendicular to these lines; perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals (they are opposite signs and are flipped). This is not true of TV either.

Using the coordinates for R and S in the slope formula, we have
m=. Comparing this to the slope of RS, it is flipped and the sign is opposite; they are negative reciprocals, so they are perpendicular.

A cube has side length a. The side lengths are decreased to 20% of their original size. Write an expression in simplest form for
Travka [436]

Answer:

0.512a³ cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a cube of length, a, then when decreased by 20%, what's left is actually 80% of the original. So, for this case, we have a cube with a length of 80%(a) = 0.80a.

Now, to compute for the volume of a cube, we multiply the length three times to itself. Or, in other words, raise the length to the third power. That means the volume of the new cube is (0.8a)³ = 0.512a³ cubic units.
