ReplyDelete1/3 in the ground }
1/5 in the couch } they are 24/30
1/6 lady }
1/10 lover }
6 pearls in the neck --------------- 6/30
1/3 + 1/5 + 1/6 + 1/10 = 10/30 + 6/30 + 5/30 + 3/30 = 24/30
24/30 + 6/30= 30/30
S:there are 30 pearls.
Sumamos todas las fracciones de collar que tenemos:
ReplyDelete1/3+1/5+1/6+1/10=3/30+5/30+6/30+10/30=24/30=4/5
en total tenemos 4/5 del collar.
Las 6 perlas que quedan se corresponden con el resto sel collar,es decir,
son 1/5 del collar.
Solución: en total habrá 6x5=30 perlas.
1/3x1/5+1/6+1/10=10/30x6/30+5/30+3/30=0.333333333
