Tua wanted to teach his pet raven to count because they are very smart birds. He used various fruits and nuts to represent numbers. A peanut = 1 A grape = 2 peanuts 14 is represented by an acorn and 3 grapes. An acorn is worth half a plum. What is the value in fruits and nuts, of two plums and a peanut, divided by a grape and a peanut?

Answer 1

The value of two plums and a peanut, divided by a grape and a peanut is 11

How to solve the expression?

The given parameters are:

• Peanut = 1
• Grape = 2
• Acorn + 3 grapes = 14
• Acorn = 1/2 Plum

Substitute Grape = 2  in Acorn + 3 grapes = 14

Acorn + 3 *2  = 14

Acorn + 6  = 14

Subtract 6 from both sides

Acorn  = 8

Substitute Acorn  = 8 in Acorn = 1/2 Plum

8 = 1/2 Plum

Multiply both sides by 2

Plum = 16

So, we have:

Peanut = 1

Grape = 2

Acorn  = 8

Plum = 16

The value of two plums and a peanut, divided by a grape and a peanut is:

(2 plums + peanut)/(grape + peanut)

This gives

(2 * 16 + 1)/(2+ 1)

Evaluate

11

Hence, the value of two plums and a peanut, divided by a grape and a peanut is 11
