Question

Radha takes some flowers in a basket and visits three temples one by one at each Temple she offer one half of the flowers from the basket if she is left with three flowers at the end find the number of flowers she had in the beginning​

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

She visits 3 temples one by one

She offers 1/2 of what she has in the baske

• So 1/2 to the first
• 1/2 of 1/2 to the second =1/4
• And 1/2 of 1/2 of 1/2 to the third 1/8

She is left with 3 flowers

If she gave 1/2 of what she had left to the 3rd, and the other half was 3

Then it means she gave the 3rd 3 flowers

So 3 is 1/8th of what she had at the beginning

Multiply 3*8 and you get 24

Hope this helps ^_^
