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.

Kim, Laura and Molly share £385
trapecia [35]
Set x equal to the amount of money Kim gets, and y for Molly's money.

 x = 2/5y, since the ratio is 2:5.
y = 105 + x, since Molly has 105 more pounds than Kim.

Substitute x into this equation, so that y = 105 + 2/5y. Subtract 2/5y from both sides to get 3/5y = 105. Divide each side by 0.6 (equivalent to 3/5) and you get y = 175, which is how much Molly has. Kim gets 2/5 of Molly's share (or 105 fewer pounds), so she has 70.

70 + 175 (Kim and Molly's shares) is equal to 245. Therefore, Laura receives the remaining 140 pounds.

140/385 = a/100
Cross multiply so that 385a is 14000. Divide by 385 to get 36.4 (rounded).

Thus, Laura receives about 36.4% of the total money. Hope this helps (:
