question:Barney can perform 45 situps in one minute. Carrie can do some situps per minute as compared to Barney. And Jerrie can do 5 more situps per minute than Carrie can do. If Barney does situps for 1 minute, and Carrie does situps for two minutes, and Jerrie does situps for three minutes, the combined total number of situps performed is 510. What is the ratio of the number of situps Carrie can do per minute to the number of situps Barney can do per minute?

answer:Let's denote the number of sit-ups Carrie can do per minute as ( C ) and the number of sit-ups Jerrie can do per minute as ( J ). According to the problem, Jerrie can do 5 more sit-ups per minute than Carrie, so we have: ( J = C + 5 ) We know that Barney can do 45 sit-ups in one minute. The total number of sit-ups performed by all three is 510. We can write this as: ( 45 times 1 + C times 2 + J times 3 = 510 ) Substituting ( J ) with ( C + 5 ), we get: ( 45 + 2C + 3(C + 5) = 510 ) Expanding the equation, we get: ( 45 + 2C + 3C + 15 = 510 ) Combining like terms, we get: ( 5C + 60 = 510 ) Subtracting 60 from both sides, we get: ( 5C = 450 ) Dividing both sides by 5, we get: ( C = 90 ) So, Carrie can do 90 sit-ups per minute. Now, we need to find the ratio of the number of sit-ups Carrie can do per minute to the number of sit-ups Barney can do per minute. Since Barney can do 45 sit-ups per minute, the ratio is: ( frac{C}{45} = frac{90}{45} ) Simplifying the ratio, we get: ( frac{90}{45} = 2 ) Therefore, the ratio of the number of sit-ups Carrie can do per minute to the number of sit-ups Barney can do per minute is boxed{2:1} .

question:Given positive numbers a and b satisfying a+b=3, if a^{5}+b^{5}geqslant lambda ab always holds, then the range of real number lambda is () A: ({infty,frac{81}{2}}] B: ({infty,frac{27}{4}}) C: ({infty,frac{81}{4}}] D: ({infty,frac{27}{2}}]

answer:To solve the given problem, we start with the given condition that a+b=3 and the inequality a^{5}+b^{5}geqslant lambda ab. We aim to find the range of lambda for which this inequality always holds. First, we rewrite the given inequality in a more manageable form. We have: [ frac{a^5}{b} + frac{b^5}{a} geq lambda ] Given that a+b=3, we can manipulate the left-hand side of the inequality as follows: [ frac{a^5}{b} + frac{b^5}{a} = frac{(frac{a^5}{b} + frac{b^5}{a})(a+b)}{3} = frac{frac{a^5}{b} + frac{b^5}{a} + a^4 + b^4}{3} ] Applying the AM-GM inequality, we get: [ geq frac{2sqrt{frac{a^5}{b} cdot frac{b^5}{a}} + a^4 + b^4}{3} = frac{a^4 + b^4 + 2a^2b^2}{3} = frac{(a^2 + b^2)^2}{3} ] Further simplifying, we use the fact that the arithmetic mean is greater than or equal to the geometric mean: [ = frac{(frac{a^2 + b^2}{2} + frac{a^2 + b^2}{2})^2}{3} geq frac{(frac{a^2 + b^2}{2} + frac{2ab}{2})^2}{3} = frac{(a+b)^4}{12} = frac{27}{4} ] Thus, we have shown that frac{a^4}{b} + frac{b^4}{a} geq frac{27}{4}, and equality holds when a = b = frac{3}{2}. This means that the range of lambda for which the original inequality always holds is (-infty, frac{27}{4}]. Therefore, the correct answer is boxed{D}.

question:Let B be the product of the divisors of 60. How many distinct prime factors does B have?

answer:First, find the divisors of 60. 60 = 2^2 cdot 3 cdot 5, so the divisors are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60. These can be paired off into six pairs, where the product of each pair is 60: begin{align*} {1&, 60}, {2&, 30}, {3&, 20}, {4&, 15}, {5&, 12}, text{and} {6&, 10}. end{align*} Therefore, B = 60^6. Simplifying, [ 60^6 = (2^2 cdot 3 cdot 5)^6 = 2^{12} cdot 3^6 cdot 5^6. ] B has three distinct prime factors, which are 2, 3, and 5. Conclusion: B has boxed{3} distinct prime factors.

question:Use the proof by contradiction to prove the proposition: For a, b in mathbb{N}, ab cannot be divided by 5, then neither a nor b can be divided by 5. The assumption for the proof should be ( ) A: Both a and b can be divided by 5 B: Not both a and b can be divided by 5 C: At least one of a and b can be divided by 5 D: At most one of a and b can be divided by 5

answer:According to the steps and methods of proving mathematical propositions by contradiction, we should first assume that the negation of the proposition is true. The negation of the proposition "neither a nor b can be divided by 5" is "at least one of a and b can be divided by 5", Therefore, the correct choice is boxed{text{C}}.
