Answer 1

After Captain Salamander sets aside gold bars for himself, Bill, and his crew, he is left with 3 bars of gold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves Captain Salamander who has found 24 bars of gold and needs to share them accordingly. First, he keeps 1/3 of the bars for himself, which is 24 / 3 = 8 bars. Next, he gives 1/4 of the bars to his friend Bill, which is 24 / 4 = 6 bars. He then shares 7 bars with the rest of his crew. To find out how many bars he has left, we subtract the bars he has given away from the total: 24 (total) - 8 (to himself) - 6 (to Bill) - 7 (to the crew) = 3 bars left.

Answer 2

3 bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of gold bars = 24.

Fraction of bar captain allocated to himself = 1/3 of the bars

no. of bars he allocated to himself = 1/3 of 24 = 1/3 * 24 = 8

Fraction of bar captain allocated to his friend bill = 1/4 of the bars

no. of bars he allocated to his friend bill = 1/4 of 24 = 1/4 * 24 = 6

No . of bars captain allocated to rest of crew = 7

Total no of bars which are allocated altogether =

no. of bars he allocated to himself +no. of bars he allocated to his friend bill +No . of bars captain allocated to rest of crew

substituting the value of above summation variable as calculated above we have

Total no of bars which are allocated altogether = 8+6+7 = 21

No. of bars left = total no. of bars - Total no of bars which are allocated altogether = 24 - 21 = 3

Thus 3 gold bars are left.
