Charlie gathers apples pears and plums. the number of apples and plums are 10 partners, there are the same number of apples and pears. how many pieces of fruit could charlie gather? on both answers given no one mentions the pears: / and 10 partners means 5 apples and 5 plums because 5+5=10 plus 5 pears (10+5=15) 15 fruits. does that sound right or am i missing something?

 Yes, there is something missing.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Charlie gathers apples pears and plums. The number of apples and plums are 10 partners, there are the same number of apples and pears.

Since there are 10 partners of apples and plums, so

number of apples = number of plums = 10.

Also, number of apples and number of pears are same, therefore, number of pears = 10.

Thus, total number of fruits = 10+10+10 = 30.

Hence, Charlie couls gather 30 fruits.

So, this was missing in the calculation.

ruth is 6 years old

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
