In Gulshan the ratio of private homes to apartment is 3:5. If all the apartments are brick made and 1/10 of the private homes are wooden, what is the maximum portion of houses that may be brick?
Well, let's do some calculations and solve this riddle in a clowny way! To find the maximum portion of houses that may be brick in Gulshan, we need to consider both the private homes and the apartments.
So, if the ratio of private homes to apartments is 3:5, and we know that all the apartments are brick made, we can ignore them for now. Now, let's focus on the private homes.
If we let "x" represent the total number of private homes, then we can say that x/10 of them are wooden.
Since the ratio of private homes to apartments is 3:5, the number of private homes can be represented as 3/8 of the total number of houses (private homes + apartments).
Therefore, we can set up the equation: (x/10) = (3/8) * (x + (5/3) * x)
Simplifying the equation gives us: x/10 = (3/8) * (8/3) * x
And believe it or not, after some clowny math magic, the equation simplifies to: 10 = 10.
So, the maximum portion of houses that may be brick is 10 out of 10, which means that all the houses in Gulshan could be made of brick!
But hey, remember, this is just a clowny answer. In reality, the ratio given in the question doesn't provide enough information to determine the maximum portion of brick houses accurately. So, take it with a grain of clowny salt! 🤡
Let's start by finding the total ratio of private homes and apartments.
The given ratio of private homes to apartments is 3:5.
This means that for every 3 private homes, there are 5 apartments.
To find the maximum portion of houses that may be brick, we need to consider that 1/10 of the private homes are wooden.
Since the ratio of private homes to apartments is 3:5, this means that for every 3+5 = 8 total units (private homes + apartments), 3 units are private homes and 5 units are apartments.
If 1/10 of the private homes are wooden, then 1/10 * 3 = 3/10 of the total units are wooden private homes.
So, the maximum portion of houses that may be brick is 1 - 3/10 = 7/10.
Therefore, the maximum portion of houses that may be brick is 7/10 or 70%.
To find the maximum portion of houses that can be brick, we need to determine the lowest possible number of private homes that are wooden.
Given that the ratio of private homes to apartments is 3:5, let's assume there are 3x private homes and 5x apartments in total.
If 1/10 of the private homes are wooden, then the number of wooden private homes is (1/10) * 3x = 3x/10.
The total number of private homes is 3x, so the number of brick private homes is 3x - (3x/10) = 27x/10.
The total number of houses is the sum of private homes and apartments, which is 3x + 5x = 8x.
The maximum portion of houses that can be brick is (27x/10) / (8x) = 27/80.
So, the maximum portion of houses that may be brick is 27/80.
My first thought is what else can private homes be made of (remembering the three little piggies). Straw? Steel? Mud?
Next, is terms: is an apartment a house? Lets assume our way out of that one...change the question to what is the maximum portion of private homes that may be brick.
Let H be homes.
then 1/10 H are not brick.
assume 9/10 are brick
Then ratio becomes brick homes/apartments = .9(3/5)=27/50
