Given:
3 kids
72 is the product of their ages.
There is a youngest child.

This means that all three are of different ages. We need to factor 72 into 3 integers.
Let us use prime factorization:

72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
  9 ÷ 3 = 3

Prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3    OR 2³ x 3²

3 ages.

eldest      = 3³ = 9
middle     = 2² = 4
youngest  = 2¹ = 2

2 x 4 = 8
8 x 9 = 72

At the fabric store, Marisela spends $9.00 on 1 1/8 yards of fabric. How much does one yard of fabric cost?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

8 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the yards to decimals, 1/8 is equivalent to .125, therefore 1 1/8 yards is 1.125

Next, since we know that 1 1/8 yards of fabric is $9, we can divide 9 by 1.125 in order to find the cost of one yard of fabric

9/1.125=8, therefore your final answer is $8

Don't forget to put units if this is a test question (or practically in any case), the unit in this case is $(dollars)
