2)Mr Tan had 200 apples and oranges.
1/3 of the apples and 1/4 of the oranges were rotten. He threw away 60 rotten fruits altogether. How many rotten oranges were there?

R denotes orange

1 A + 1 R= 200
1/3 A +1/4 R = 60

multiply the second equation by 3 so that we can have 1 whole of A.
1A + 3/4R = 180

Comparing this equation with the first equation;
1/4 R --> 200 - 180 = 20

[/quote]Speed ratio
XY : YX --> 4 : 6 --> 2 : 3

Time Ratio
XY : YX --> 3 : 2

Total time --> 3units + 2 units = 5units
5units --> 45/60 h
3units --> 45/60 * 3 /5 = 9/20h

Distance --> 9/20h * 4km/h = 1 4/5km

Ans: Given answer is 80 cubic cm.

[/quote]Comparing the bottom 2 containers;
1X + 1Y = 380 - 240 = 140

Comparing the top right and bottom left containers;
3X = 380 - 200 = 180
1X = 180 / 3 = 60

Hence;
1Y --> 140 - 60= 80

Dear all


Good afternoon.

Please help me on the following P6 maths:

Anna, Belinda and Clare bought a vase and shared the cost equally among themselves. Clare did not bring her money, so Anna and Belinda paid for the vase first. Anna paid 0.25 more than what Belinda had paid. The following day, Clare paid her share to both Anna and Belinda.

a) Clare paid Belinda $6.55. How much did Clare pay Anna?

b) Clare’s brother bought a similar vase at the same shop during a sale and was given a disconunt of 20% of the price that Clare and her friends paid for. How much did Clare’s brother pay for the Vase?

Thank you
Firebird
