Answer: 17 rows, 7 of yellow flowers and 10 of orange flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 40 orange flowers

we have 28 yellow flowers.

The total number of flowers is 40 + 28= 68

Now, we want to find the maximal comon factor between 28 and 40 (that will be the number of flowers in each row)

for this, we took the smallest number and find its factors, and then we see if those factors are also of the greater number.

28/1 = 28 ----> 40/28 is not integer, so 28 is not a factor of 40.

28/2 = 14 ----> 40/14 is not integer, so 14 is not a factor of 40.

28/3 is not integer.

28/4 = 7 ----> 40/7 is not integer, so 7 is not a factor of 40.

28/5 is not integer.

28/6 is not integer.

28/7 = 4, 40/4 = 10, so 4 is a factor of both 28 and 40.

Then the maximum number of flowers that we can put in each row is 4.

this means that we have:

28/4 = 7 rows of yellow flowers (with 4 flowers each)

40/4 = 10 rows of orange flowers (with 4 flowers each)

a total of 17 rows.

y varies jointly as x and z. y equals 80y=80 when x equals 5x=5 and z equals 4z=4. Find y when x equals 4x=4 and z equals 6z=6.

What is the value of 7 1/12 - 4 5/6
Lynna [10]
Hello!

First of all we need to get a common denominator. Therefore we multiply 5/6 by 2/2, giving us 10/12.

Now we subtract 

7 1/12-4 10/12
2 3/12=2 1/4

Therefore, our answer is A) 2 1/4.

I hope this helps!

Help me plz !!!!!!!!! >,
Viktor [21]

Answer: 21/28

Step-by-step explanation: you know 75/100 is 0.75, which means whatever is on top of 28 has to be less than 28 so the answer is less than 1. I just plugged in numbers until I got the right answer.
