Five brothers picked 5 pounds of apples. Two of the
brothers will share 3 pounds of apples equally and the
other 3 brothers will share 2 pounds of the apples
equally. In which group does each brother get a greater
amount of the apples?
Use what you know about division and fractions to
explain why your answer is reasonable. worth 29 points will mark you.

2 brothers will share 3 pounds. Divide 3 pounds by 2 people:

3/2 = 1-1/2 pounds per person.

3 brothers will share 2 pounds. Divide 2 pounds by 3 people:

2/3 = 2/3 pounds per person.

The 2 brothers sharing 3 pounds will have more apples each.

step-by-step explanation:

9-15%

geometric series converge the common ratio r has magnitude less than one.

which is equivalent to

for the example we need

|2-x| < 1

-1 < 2-x   and 2-x < 1

x < 3 and x > 1

we can write that

answer: 1 < x < 3

1a. common ratio r=250/25=10 > 1     diverges

1b.   r=50/100=1/2 converges

when these converge they converge to

where a is the first term.

answer: 200

1c. r=-1   so it's not the case that |r| < 1.     diverges

2a. x is the common ratio so we converge when |x|< 1

2b.   r=-10x / -2 = 5x.

we converge when

|5x| < 1

|x| < 1/5

2c.   r=3-2x

-1 < 3-2x and 3-2x < 1

-4 < -2x and 2 < 2x

x < 2 and 1 < x

1 < x < 2

2d. [/tex] r=-48x^3/12 = 4x^3[/tex]

|4x^3| < 1

|x^3| < \frac 1 4

|x| < 4^{-1/3}
