William is planning to create a rectangular mosaic which measures 120 cm by 144 cm. The mosaic will be covered completely with s

quare pieces of colored glass. William has decided that he will purchase only one size of glass squares, and he does not plan to cut any of the pieces. If the art supply store only sells the glass squares in whole-number side lengths (measured in centimeters), find the smallest number of squares which William could use for his mosaic.

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the greatest common factor of 120 and 144.

First, write the prime factorization of both:

120 = 2³×3×5

144 = 2⁴×3²

Both have 2³ and 3 in common, so the GCF is:

GCF = 2³×3

GCF = 24

So the side length is 24 cm.  The number of squares along the width is:

120 / 24 = 5

And the number of squares along the length:

144 / 24 = 6

So the number of squares need to fill the entire area is 5×6 = 30.  This is the least number of squares with whole-number side lengths that he can use.

Mr. Soto plans to open a savings account. Four banks offer the annual interest rates shown. Which list shows these interest rate
Delvig [45]
Ok, so IDK if I'm about to do this problem right, but here we go;


so first, lets change these all to decimals (I more of a decimal gal)

3 1/2 = 3.5
3 2/3 = 3.6666 (repeating)
3 3/5 = 3.6
3 3/8 = 3.375

So now, just order them from greatest to least.  

3.66666, 3.6, 3.5, 3.375.  

Now, change them back to fractions.  
3 2/3, 3 3/5, 3 1/2, 3 3/8


So, if I'm correct, the answer is 3 2/3%, 3 3/5%, 3 1/2%, 3 3/8%
Hopefully I solved your problem!

URGENT ! HELP ! Question is in photo below.
kifflom [539]

\frac{3(x+5)}{2} \cdot 2=21\cdot 2

Above step we use "Multiplication property of equality"

3(x+5)=42

In the above step we "Simplify on both sides of equation"

3x+15 = 42

In the above step we use "Distribution property"

3x+15-15=42-15

The above step is the result of using "Subtraction property of equality"

3x=27

Above step is result of "Combining the like terms"

\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{27}{3}

Above step is the result of using "Division property of equality"

x=9

Above step is result of "Simplifying fractions on either side of equation"
