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>

Parcc chapter 7 pythagorean theorem
Bumek [7]
So, we know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2.  Right?  That is called the Pythagorean Theorem.

In this case.  We can say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c.
NOTE: It doesn't really matter whether 39 is a or b.  a & b are just the two legs of the right triangle.

So, if we say that 39 is a, 40 is b, and x is c.  We can plug it into the Pythagorean Theorem.

39^2 + 40^2 = x^2

I'll let you take it from there.
