Como podríamos saber cuantos camellos le corresponden a cada hermano en realidad

Eldest brother = 18 camels

2nd brother = 12 camels

Youngest brother = 4 camels

Step-by-step explanation:

Question posted:

How could we know how many camels actually correspond to each brother?

It is from "the man who calculated":

The question is incomplete without the background information.

Based on the question, It has to do with sharing an inheritance of 35 camels among 3 brothers.

"The man who calculated", by Malba Tahan.

Since the complete question isn't available, we are going to look at the following question to understand how to do the calculation.

Question:

How can an inheritance of 35 camels be divided among three brothers in such a way that the eldest brother gets half of them, the second one gets 1/3 of the total and the youngest brother gets 1/9 of the total camels?

Solution:

Total number of camels= 35

Eldest brother gets half: 1/2 of 35 gives a fraction and not an whole number

2nd brother = 1/3 of 35 (gives a fraction)

3rd brother = 1/9 of 35 (gives a fraction)

Since we can't have a camel in fraction except in whole number, we would look for the closest number to 35 that would be divided by 2, 3 and 9 respectively without giving a fraction.

Number 36 is the closest number to 35 that satisfies this condition.

1st brother = 1/2 × 36 = 18 camels

2nd brother = 1/3 × 36 = 12 camels

3rd brother = 1/9 × 36 = 4 camels

Now let's add the camels the 3 brother got together = 18 + 12 + 4 = 34 camels

Total camels - amount shared = 35 -34 = 1

Meaning one camel is remaining. The distributor would keep the remaining one as that's the way such distributions could be achieved.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
