Factor, in mathematics, a number or algebraic expression that divides another number or expression evenly—i.e., with no remainder. For example, 3 and 6 are factors of 12 because 12 ÷ 3 = 4 exactly and 12 ÷ 6 = 2 exactly. The other factors of 12 are 1, 2, 4, and 12. A positive integer greater than 1, or an algebraic expression, that has only two factors (i.e., itself and 1) is termed prime; a positive integer or an algebraic expression that has more than two factors is termed composite. The prime factors of a number or an algebraic expression are those factors which are prime. By the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, except for the order in which the prime factors are written, every whole number larger than 1 can be uniquely expressed as the product of its prime factors; for example, 60 can be written as the product 2·2·3·5.

A rectangular swimming pool measures 50 meters in length and 25 meters in width. If the length in the scale drawing is 10 cm, wh

mash [69]

Answer:

The 25 m width of the actual swimming pool in the scale drawing is 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the actual swimming pool given are

Length = 50 meters

Width = 25 meters

The length of the swimming pool on the scale drawing = 10 cm

The scale of the scale drawing is therefore;

10 cm on the scale drawing is equivalent to 50 meters of the actual swimming pool

Which gives;

10 cm:50 m

However, 50 m = 5,000 cm, therefore;

10 cm:5,000 cm or 10 : 5,000

Which is 10 to 5000 or 10/10 to 5000/10 = 1 to 500

The scale of the scale drawing is 1 to 500

or 1 cm of the scale drawing = 5 meters of the actual swimming pool

Therefore, the width of 25 meters of the actual swimming pool can be given as follows;

5 m = 1 cm

1 m = 1 cm/5

25 m = 25× 1 m = 25 × 1 cm/5 = 5 cm

Therefore, the 25 m width of the actual swimming pool in the scale drawing = 5 cm.

M<A = m<C = 53
answer is B. 53
-------------
2x = 8
x = 4

answer
D. 4

--------------
y = 3x (1)
y + 12 = 6x so y = 6x - 12 (2)
from (1) and (2) you haev
3x = 6x - 12
3x = 12
x = 4
y = 4x = 4(3) = 12

answer
C. y = 12
