If you have 3 boxes of fruit apples oranges and both They all have labels that are not right You pick 1 fruit from 1 box How can you label the boxes correctly?
You would choose to draw from the box labeled "Apples and Oranges"...Whatever fruit you draw is the fruit from that box. (you know this is the case because the boxes are mislabeled) You then proceed to relabel the box with "Apples" if that is what you drew. Then you relabel the original "Apples" box to "Oranges" and the original "Oranges" box to "Apples and Oranges".
How many pieces of fruit are there if all but 4 are apples and all but 4 are bananas and all but 4 are oranges?
Total = 6 fruits. 2 Apples = all but 4. 2 Bananas = all but 4. 2 Oranges = all but 4.
The fruit bowl is 12 apples and 13 bananas the rest of the fruit is oranges what fraction of the fruit is oranges?
It depend upon how many oranges there are, which gives the total number of pieces of fruit in the bowl. Let the number of oranges be x, then the total number of fruit is 12 + 13 + x = x +25 Thus the fraction of the fruit that is oranges is number_of_oranges/total_number_of_fruit = x/(x+25) If you do not know the number of oranges x, but do know the total number of fruit in the bowl (call it t), then the number of oranges = t - (12 + 23) = t - 25, giving the fraction of oranges as (t-25)/t. The above formulae give a general form of the fraction of the fruit that are oranges; if you know the number of oranges, or the total number of fruit, you can substitute for x or t in the above formulae to get the fraction for the quantity you have as you have not told us them.
Three boxes are labels apples oranges and apples and oranges you can only select one fruit from onle one box from which box should you pick and how will that help you to correctly label the ot?
I believe this question should also stipulate that the boxes are incorrectly labelled, then my solution works (I think)! It's easier if you number the boxes:- The box labelled the oranges is box no.1 " " " " apples " " " 2 " " " " apples & oranges is box no. 3 Now remembering that box no.1 is incorrectly labelled "oranges" Box no.2 is incorrectly labelled "apples" and Box no.3 is incorrectly labelled "apples & oranges". Take a sample from box no.3....if it is an apple, then box no.3 holds apples. Box no.2 labelled "apples" is wrong so this box must contain oranges and this leaves box no1 which must hold apples& oranges. This works in reverse (if you pick an orange from box no.3), so you always start with box no.3
