Francis works at Carlos Bakery and is making cookie trays. She has 48 chocolate chip cookies, 64 rainbow cookies, and 120 oatmea

l cookies to put on the trays. Part A: How many trays can Francis make under the following condition? Part B: How many of each type of cookie would fit on each of the trays? Justify your answer.
48 chocolate chip cookies = 1 batch

64 rainbow cookies = 1 batch

120 oatmeal cookies = 1 batch
What are the smallest number of batches of each type of cookie she would need to bake so that Francis has the same amount of chocolate chip, rainbow, and oatmeal cookies?

The number of cookies and trays are illustrations of greatest common factors.

  • The number of trays is 8
  • 6 chocolate chips, 8 rainbows and 15 oatmeal cookies would fit each tray

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{Chocolate\ chip=48}

\mathbf{Rainbow=64}

\mathbf{Oatmeal=120}

<u>(a) The number of trays</u>

To do this, we simply calculate the greatest common factor of 48, 64 and 120

Factorize the numbers, as follows:

\mathbf{48 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3}

\mathbf{64 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2}

\mathbf{120 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 5}

So, the GCF is:

\mathbf{GCF= 2 \times 2 \times 2}

\mathbf{GCF= 8}

Hence, the number of tray is 8

<u>(b) The number of each type of cookie</u>

We have

\mathbf{Chocolate\ chip=48}

\mathbf{Rainbow=64}

\mathbf{Oatmeal=120}

Divide each cookie by the number of trays

So, we have:

\mathbf{Chocolate\ chip = \frac{48}{8} = 6}

\mathbf{Rainbow = \frac{64}{8} = 8}

\mathbf{Oatmeal = \frac{150}{8} = 15}

Hence, 6 chocolate chips, 8 rainbows and 15 oatmeal cookies would fit each tray

Factor the trinomial. Factor out the GCF first.<br> 5x^2y - 30xy^2 - 35y^3
anzhelika [568]

Answer: 5x^2y - 30xy^2 - 35y^3=5y(x+y)(x-7y)

Step-by-step explanation:

GCF = Greatest common factor.

For example: 6 is the GCF of 12 and 18.

The given expression: 5x^2y - 30xy^2 - 35y^3

It can be written as

5x^2y - (5\times6)x( y\times y) - (5\times7)(y^2\times y)

Taking out common factor  5y , we get

5y(x^2-6xy-7y^2)\\\\ =5y(x^2+xy-7xy-7y^2)\  \ [\because-6xy=xy-7xy]\\\\=5y(x(x+y)-7y(x+y))\\\\= 5y((x+y)(x-7y))\\\\=5y(x+y)(x-7y)

Hence, 5x^2y - 30xy^2 - 35y^3=5y(x+y)(x-7y)

A home improvement store normally sells 20-foot extension ladders for $225. This week the ladders are discounted by 20%. What is
Fantom [35]

Answer:

The answer is 180

Step-by-step explanation:

So to start off you have to turn 20% into a decimal and that is .20.

Next  you need to mutiply 225 and .20 and you will get 45 (that means it is $45 off)

Subtract 45 fro 225 and that is your answer.

You now pay $180 for the 20 foot extension ladder.

The vertex of the parabola below is at the point (2, 4), and the point (3, 6) is on the parabola. what is the equation of the pa
Paraphin [41]

Given:

Vertex ===> (h, k) (2, 4)

The parabola passes through the point: (x, y) ==> (3, 6)

Let's find the equation of a parabola.

To find the equation, use the general equation of a parabola with vertex (h, k):

y=a(x-h)^2+k_{}

Where:

(h, k) ==> (2, 4)

(x, y) ==> (3, 6)

Substitute values into the general equation:

\begin{gathered} 6=a(3-2)^2+4 \\  \\ 6=a(1)^2+4 \\  \\ 6=a+4 \end{gathered}

Subtract 4 from both sides:

\begin{gathered} 6-4=a+4-4 \\  \\ 2=a \\  \\ a=2 \end{gathered}

Substitute 2 for a, and input the values of the vertex (h, k) in the general vertex equation:

y=2(x-2)^2+4

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is:

y=2(x-2)^2+4

ANSWER:

y=2(x-2)^2+4
