Answer:
the greatest common factor is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
375: 1, 3, 5,11, 15, 25, 75, 125, 375
66: 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66
333: 1, 3, 9, 37, 111, 333
Green and Blue ribbon
Given
They collect
Red Ribbon = ½ mile
Green Ribbon = ⅛ mile
Blue Ribbon = ¼ mile
To find?
Which colors of ribbons will be collected at the ¾ mile mark.
The interpretation of the question is to test which of the above fractions can divide ¾ without a remainder; in other words, multiples of ¾.
Testing each fraction.
Red Ribbon = ½
¾ ÷ ½
= ¾ * 2
= 3/2
= 1.5 or 1 Remainder 1
This is not an exact multiple of ¾. So, the red ribbon won't be passed here.
Green Ribbon = ⅛
¾ ÷ ⅛
= ¾ * 8
= 24/8
= 3
This is an exact multiple of ¾. So, the green ribbon will be collected.
Testing the last ribbon
Blue = ¼
¾ ÷ ¼
= ¾ * 4
This is an exact multiple of ¾. So, the blue ribbon will be collected.
Hence, the green and blue ribbons will be collected at ¾ mile mark
94 m
Write a proportion:
3.1 / 1.18 = x / 35.75
Cross multiply and solve:
1.18x = 3.1 × 35.75
1.18x = 110.825
x ≈ 94
Rounded to the nearest meter, the height of the tower is approximately 94 meters.
