Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
you take the probability divide by the tossing times
Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.
<u>a.</u>
As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find <u>GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72. </u>
First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

The common factors are: 2, 2 and 3
Thus the GCF 
So, the greatest possible length of the pieces without having any cloth left over will be 12 inches.
<u>b. </u>
For finding the number of pieces for each color cloth, we will just <u>divide the length of each cloth by 12</u>. So...
Number of pieces for blue cloth 
Number of pieces for gold cloth
and
Number of pieces for white cloth 
Answer:
y = 30
z = 115
Step-by-step explanation:
z° + 65° = 180°
(Exterior Angles on the same side of transversal)
z° = 180° - 65°
z° = 115°
z = 115
(5y - 85)° + z° = 180°
(Linear pair angles)
(5y - 85)° + 115° = 180°
(5y - 85)° = 180° - 115°
(5y - 85)° = 65°
5y - 85 = 65
5y = 65 + 85
5y = 150
y = 150/5
y = 30
Length of wooden flooring strip =
or 
Length of strip cut off =
or 
So, the new length of the strip will be=

=
Hence, the new length of the flooring strip will be
inches and in mixed fraction it will be
inches.
