Is there something wrong with this question? I can't solve it by SE?


Stall A and Stall B had some apples and oranges. 5/7 of Stall A's fruits and 3/4 of Stall B's fruits were oranges. Stall A had 34 more apples than Stall B. If Stall A had 245 more fruits than Stall B, how many fruits did the two stalls have altogether?

This question is from one of the practice papers given by my daughter's math teacher.... unfortunately, wasn't marked as there wasn't enough time.

Please help. TIA

I think the last sentence should be \"If Stall B had 245 more fruits than Stall A, how many fruits did the two stalls have altogether?

Stall B's apples --> 1/4 of fruits = 2/8 of fruits --> 2 units,
total number of fruits in Stall B --> 8 units
Stall A's apples --> 2 units + 34 = 2 x (1 unit +17),
total number of fruits in Stall A --> 7 x ( 1unit + 17) = 7 units + 119
Stall B had 245 more fruits than Stall A

7 units + 119 + 245 = 8 units
1 unit --> 364
I believe you can continue from here... got to go for my final session with my P6s...

cheers..

Thank you, MathIzzzFun. If the last sentence is changed as you have suggested, then the question is do-able by SE. Thanks a lot.

3. Two cars race around a circular track at constant speeds starting at the same point. If they travel in opposite direction, then they meet every 30 seconds. If they travel in the same direction, then they meet every 2 min. If the track is 1800m long, what is the speed of each car? ans: 22.7m/s and 37.5m/s.

4 & 5-->LC M 20
for every group of 20 spectators,
5x1pack --> 5 packs
9x 2 packs --> 18 packs
6x4 packs --> 24 packs
total --> 47 packs
3854 ÷ 47=82 groups
total jumber of spectators --> 82x20=1640

Please help me with these two questions :


1) Jay bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Kay. Kay bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jay. Jay ate 12 sweets and Kay ate 18 chocolates and then the ratio of Jay’s sweets to chocolates became 1:7 and the ratio of Kay’s sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Jay have at first ?

2)There are more pupils in School A then School B. 30% of the pupils in School A is 45 more than 40% of the pupils in School B. If 10% of the pupils in School A leaves to join School B, there will be 200 more pupils in School A than School B. How many pupils are there in School B?

Thank you !
