First, let's find out how many 5/6 pound bags he can fill with one 2 pound bag.
2 ÷ 5/6
2 × 6/5
2.4
He can fill 2.4 bags with one 2 pound bag.
Now, we just need to multiply 2.4 by a number that will make it a whole number.
We'll use guess and check.
2.4 × 2 = 4.8
2.4 × 3 = 7.2
2.4 × 4 = 9.6
2.4 × 5 = 12
12 is a whole number.
This means that Chad needs to buy 5 of the 2 pound bags to fill 12 of the 5/6 pound bags, and he will have not peanuts leftover.

Jakobe runs a coffee cart where he sells coffee for $1.50 tea for $2 , and donuts for $0.75 . On Monday, he sold 320 items and m
Andreyy89

Jakobe sold 150 coffee, 50 tea and 120 donuts at the coffee cart on Monday.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the amount of coffee, y represent the amount of tea and z represent the amount of donuts, hence:

x + y + z = 320    (1)

Also:

1.5x + 2y + 0.75z = 415     (2)

And:

x = 3y     (3)

From the equations:

x = 150, y= 50 and z = 120

Jakobe sold 150 coffee, 50 tea and 120 donuts at the coffee cart on Monday.

Prime factorization of 15​
VLD [36.1K]

Answer: 3 x 5

Step-by-step explanation: To find the prime factorization of 15, first create a factor tree with two branches. Since 15 ÷ 3 = 5, we know that 3 and 5 are factors of 15. So we write 3 and 5 at the bottom of the branches.

While 1 and 15 are also factors, we don't use them in out factor tree. That's because when finding the prime factorization, we always use numbers other than 1 and the number itself.

Next, we circle any prime factors in the factor tree. Since both 3 and 5 are prime, we circle both 3 and 5. Since we have circles at the bottom of all of our branches, we are finished.

So the prime factorization of 15 is 3 x 5.

Notice that we write our prime factorization as a multiplication problem. Think of the prime factorization of a number as the prime factors of the number that you multiply together to get the original number.
