ijezie has twice as many apples as Mohammed,and Mohammed has three times as many apples as bamidele. if the three men have a total of 360 apples,find the number owned by Mohammed. |

Nelsonmoney:Let ijezie's apples be represented as i, Mohammed's rep. as m and bamidele's as b from the first expression; i = 2m ..........* second expression; m = 3b, therefore, b = m/3 .........** third expression; i + m + b = 360 .........*** putting eqn* and eqn** in eqn***: i + m + b = 360 .........*** 2m + m + m/3 = 360, 3m + m/3 = 360, (9m + m)/3 = 360, 10m / 3 = 360, 10m = 360 × 3, 10m = 1080, dividing both sides by 10; m = 108 therefore, Mohammed has 108 apples 34 Likes 5 Shares |

[quote author=dejt4u post=72164884] Let ijezie's apple is represented by i, Mohammed's rep. by m and bamidele's by b from the first expression; i = 2m ..........* second expression; m = 3b, therefore, b = m/3 .........** third expression; i + m + b = 360 .........*** putting eqn* and eqn** in eqn***: i + m + b = 360 .........*** 2m + m + m/3 = 360, 3m + m/3 = 360, (9m + m)/3 = 360, 10m / 3 = 360, 10m = 360 × 3, 10m = 1080, dividing both sides by 10; m = 108 According to his textbook your answer is correct, but i was wondering if there's diff.or another method I mean simple solution to this please 5 Likes 1 Share |

Assume the quantity of apple each has is X, there for BIMEDELE HAS X Mohammmed has 3 time X of Bamidele = 3X Ijezie has 2 (3X) of Mohammed = 6X total apples is 360 there X+3X+6X = 360 10X= 360 x= 360/10 x= 36 Mohammed is 3* (36)= 108 19 Likes 3 Shares |

I rembered I was solving maths for people back then in secondary school and people were hailing me but now I can see that those mathematics I solved then couldn't fetch me money now so what's the need? 3 Likes |
Re: Quickly Guys; My Cousin Brought This One For Me To Solve by Festy4u(m): 4:05pm On Oct 17, 2018 |
Nelsonmoney: My approach is thus: Let Mohammed apples = x :. Ijezie's apples = 2x. (Ijezie has twice as many apples as Mohammed) :. Bamidele's apples = x/3 (Mohammed has 3 times as many apples as Bamidele) Since the the sum of their apples = 360 :. X + 2x + x/3 = 360 Multiply throughout by 3 to rationalise the equation -> 3x + 6x + x = 1080 :. 10x = 1080 Divide through by 10 :. X = 108 Therefore, Mohammed share of apples = 108 2 Likes |

Mankosi:Bros I know of a man that tutors people's children math only and he is living fine with family and a nice ride. Math teachers are needed any day any time it's just that you have to present your self where they are needed 1 Like |

Mankosi:Solving maths or any subject generally does not necessarily means it's gonna bring funtune to your bank account but of course to some persons it does. I'm come to realise that all courses are of paramount use in our day to day lives especially mathematics. And again it's widen our horizon. 1 Like |

Festy4u:Y did you multiply the equation by 3? |
Re: Quickly Guys; My Cousin Brought This One For Me To Solve by Festy4u(m): 4:38pm On Oct 17, 2018 |
Nelsonmoney: I did to take off the fractional term (x/3) NB: When solving equations involving fractions, it's simpler multiplying throughout the equation by the denominator value (in this case 3). In that way, you will rationalise the equation and make it easier to solve. 5 Likes |
