Answer:

Possible values for X include;

15, 30, 45, 60, and so on

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters provided are

Number of chocolates Tanmay possessed = X

Number of chocolates given to Akash = 1/3 × X

Number of chocolates given to Sharad = 1/5 × X

Consequently, since both 3 and 5 divide X,

3 × 5 = 15 is the smallest single factor of X.

Thus, the values of X based on this minimum factor are as follows;

15 × 1 = 15

15 × 2 = 30

15 × 3 = 45

15 × 4 = 60

Therefore, potential values for X form an arithmetic series: a + (n - 1) × d

Where:

a = 15

n = 1, 2, 3, 4,...

d = 15

This results in;

15, 30, 45, 60

Zina [3917]
100 plus 70 equals 170

170 divided by 10 equals 17

That makes 17 trains of 10 cubes

A local pizzeria offers 15 toppings for their pizzas and you can choose any 3 of them for one fixed price. How many different ty
Svet_ta [4341]

Answer:

It could either be 455 or 680, based on assumptions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the three choices are distinct, we can calculate...

  15C3 = 15·14·13/(3·2·1) = 35·13 = 455

ways to create the pizza.

___

In the case where two or more of the toppings may be identical, this would lead to...

  2(15C2) + 15C1 = 2·105 + 15 = 225

additional combinations, resulting in a grand total of...

  455 + 225 = 680

unique pizza varieties.

__

There is a multiplication factor of 2 for the two-topping selections, since it allows for variations like double anchovies and tomatoes or double tomatoes and anchovies when the topping choices are anchovies and tomatoes.

_____

nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!)

A truck with a heavy load drove from Boston to New York at 50 mph. After dropping of the load, it returned from New York to Bost
Zina [3917]

Answer:

175/3 or 58.333...

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be complex, but I'll simplify it. I apologize for the challenges involved in formatting fractions correctly. To ensure accuracy, I've added several parentheses that may seem unnecessary.

Let d denote the distance between the two cities.

The time it takes can be expressed as d/r, where r represents the speed; thus, from B to NY, it is d/50.

In the same manner, from NY to B, it's d/70.

The average velocity can be determined as 2d divided by the sum of d/50 and d/70, representing the average time.

Next, eliminate d from the equation to reach (d/d)*2/(1/50+1/70).

Now, you can multiply by the Least Common Multiple (LCM) over itself, which is 350/350.

The result after performing this calculation will yield 700/12, equating to 58.333...(This is how you would enter it into your RSM browser) I hope this clarification is useful. My apologies for the delay.
