The (greatest, least) of the common factors of 2 or more numbers is the (greatest, least) common factor of the numbers.

Liula [17]

Answer:

The greatest of the common factors of 2 or more numbers is the greatest common factor of the numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that

The greatest common factor of two or more whole numbers is the largest whole number that divides evenly into each of the numbers.

Thus, the greatest of the common factors of 2 or more numbers is the greatest common factor of the numbers.

For example, lets find the greatest common factor of $36$ and $54$ .

The possible factors of $36$ are:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36.

The possible factors of $54$ are:

1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, and 54.

The common factors of 36 and 54 are:

$1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18$

So, from the common factors, it is easy to figure out that 18 is the greatest common factor.

The number of chairs on a ski lift is inversely proportional to the distance between them a lift has 70 chairs when there’s spac

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Space between 80 evenly spaced chairs = 21m

Step-by-step explanation:

So, according to the given statement, we have the following expression:

No. of chairs ∝ $\frac{1}{Distance.Between.chairs}$

70 chairs are 24m apart, so it can be written as:

70 ∝ $\frac{1}{24}$

For, 1 chair , we divide both sides by 70

$\frac{70}{70}$ ∝ $\frac{1}{24(70)}$

1 ∝ $\frac{1}{24 (70)}$ -----------------------(Equation 1)

For 80 chairs:

Multiply both sides of Equation.1 by 80

80 ∝ $\frac{80}{24 (70)}$

80 ∝ $\frac{1}{21}$

So according to the above relation,

80 evenly spaced chairs will have a space of 21 m between them.

A plant manufactures part whose lengths are normally distributed with a mean of 16.3 centimeters and a standard deviation of 2.5

EastWind [94]

The probability that the plant manufactures a part between 10.8 and 12.8 centimeters 13%

<h3>How to find the probability that the part is between 10.8 and 12.8 centimeters</h3>

The probability is solved z scores, this measures the amount of standard deviation sample X is from mean. the formula is below

z = (X - μ) / σ

Definition of variables

mean, μ = 16.3 centimeters

standard deviation, σ = 2.5 centimeters

X = 10.8 and 12.8 centimeters

z score, z

substituting into the formula

for X = 12.8 centimeters

= (X - μ) / σ

= (12.8 - 16.3) / 2.5

= -1.4

the p value for z of -1.4 = 0.161513

for X = 10.8 centimeters

= (X - μ) / σ

= (10.8 - 16.3) / 2.5

= -2.2

the p value for z of -2.2 = 0.027807

the probability is calculated as below

0.161513 - 0.027807= 0.133706

= 0.13

=13%
