For all the answers I will assume that all buttons both green and blue must be used. 

For the first question we will start by searching all the divisors of 16;

16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
We will think about the numbers of green buttons that can be used as the divisors of 16. We will check if t<span>he dividend of 16 to its divisors is a divisor for 56.
</span>
1 => 16 vests with 1 green button 56/16 = 3.5
2=> 8 vests with 2 green buttons 56/8 = 7
4=>  4 vests with 4 green buttons 56/4 = 14
8=> 2 vests with 8 green buttons 56/2 = 28
16=> 1 vest with 16 green buttons 56/1 = 56

From all the above results we concluded that Lee can make:
8 vests with 2 green buttons and 7 blue buttons
4 vests with 4 green buttons and 14 blue buttons
2 vests with 8 green buttons and 28 blue buttons
1 vest with 16 green buttons and 56 blue buttons

For the second question, the <span>greatest number of vests represents the greatest common divider of 16 and 56. 
</span>First, we break into prime factors
16 = 2^4
56 = 2^3 *7
The greatest common divider is 8.
<span>Lee can make 8 vests and each one will have 2 green buttons and 7 blue buttons (16/8=2 and 56/8=7)</span>

How do I solve 4^-3? ( four to the power of negative three)
Liono4ka [1.6K]
4^-3 

You first need to make the exponent positive. To do this put it in a fraction.

1/4^3

Now solve the exponent. 

4 * 4 * 4 =
   ^
  16*4 = 64 

1/64 is your answer

Point Fis on line segment EG. EG = 100, EF = 4x - 20, and FG = 2x + 30. Write an equation that you would use to solve for x, the
andrew-mc [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

Line segment = EG

point on a line segment = F

EG = 100

EF = 4x - 20

FG = 2x + 30

a/q, EF + FG = EG

the equation is

4x - 20 + 2x + 30 = 100

now solution for x is

→ 4x - 20 + 2x + 30 = 100

→ 6x + 10 = 100

→ 6x = 100 - 10 = 90

→ x = 90/6 = 15

therefore, value of x is 15.

and according to given information

EF = 4x - 20 = 4(15) - 20 = 60 - 20 = 40

FG = 2x + 30 = 2(15) + 30 = 30 + 30 = 60

hope this answer helps you dear..take care and may u have a great day ahead!

How do you solve for 5/6w = 2/3 (the answer is w= 4/5) I just don’t know how to show it.
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

5/6w=2/3

5/6(4/5)=2/3

20/30=2/3

20/30=10/15=2/3=2/3

Proof:

5/6w=2/3

6/5*5/6w=2/3*6/5

30/30w=2/3*6/5

w=12/15=4/5

Hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤

E3: Amab sells an article to Vivek at a profit of 15% and Vivek sells it to
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

the cost price is 27,715

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price be x

As Amab sells to Vivek at 15% profit

So the selling price be

= 115 ÷ 100 × x = 1.15x

And Vivek sells to sagar at a profit of 10%

= 1.15x × 110 ÷ 100

= 1.265x

Now sagar pays it for 35,060

So , the cost price be

1.265x = 35,060

x = 27,715

Hence, the cost price is 27,715
