The point that best represents 10 is point Q
48:
48/2 = 24
24/2 = 12
12/2 = 6
6/2 = 3
We can not divide by 2, but we can divide by 3:
3/3 = 1
That's as far as we go. So I divided by 2 four times and once by 3:
Therefore:
48 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3
Now we take 72
72 / 2 = 36
36 / 2 = 18
18 / 2 = 9
Nine is not divisible by 2, but it is by 3, so:
9 / 3 = 3
3 / 3 = 1
That's as far as we can go.
I divided by 2 three times and by 3 two times. Therefore
72 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3
So, taking the bigger picture:
<span><span>4872</span>=<span><span>2∗2∗2∗2∗3</span><span>2∗2∗2∗3∗3</span></span></span>
Now three two's cancel out and one three cancels out and we get
<span>2\3
answer=2\3</span>

The formula for volume is V=l*w*h
So we can plug in what we have and solve for h
576=12*8*x
576=96x
x=6 inches
Hope this helps
Let x = number of lines
x/3 = r2 2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23,26,29,32,35,38,41,44,47
x/5 = r2 2,7,12,17,22,27,32,37,42,47
x/7 = r5 5,12,19,26,33,40,47
47 is the smallest number that fits all 3 requirements.
