Answer:

"greatest common factor" (GCF) or "greatest common divisor" (GCD)

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you're looking for the term that has the given definition. It is called the GCF or GCD, the "greatest common factor" or the "greatest common divisor."

_____

The GCF or GCD can be found a couple of ways. One way is to find the prime factors of the numbers involved, then identify the lowest power of each of the unique prime factors that are common to all numbers. The product of those numbers is the GCF.

Example:

GCF(6, 9)

can be found from the prime factors:

6 = 2·3
9 = 3²

The unique factors are 2 and 3. Only the factor 3 is common to both numbers, and its lowest power is 1. Thus ...

GCF(6, 9) = 3¹ = 3

Another way to find the GCD is to use Euclid's Algorithm. At each step of the algorithm, the largest number modulo the smallest number is found. If that is not zero, the largest number is replaced by the result, and the process repeated. If the result is zero, the smallest number is the GCD.

GCD(6, 9) = 9 mod 6 = 3 . . . . . (6 mod 3 = 0, so 3 is the GCD)

find the square root of each of the following decimal numbers correct to two places of decimal : I. 175.01 II. 423.74 III. 5893.

netineya [11]

Answer:

i. 13.23

ii. 20.58

iii. 76.77

iv. 84.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Here , we are to calculate the square root of we have of the decimal numbers and correct to two decimal places.

i. √(175.01) = 13.229 = 13.23

ii. √(423.74) = 20.5849 = 20.58

iii. √(5893.27) = 76.767 = 76.77

iv. √(7136.8) = 84.4795 = 84.48

Kindly note that the approximation to two decimal places are the figures after the equal to

There are 50 cupcakes and 160 cookies to be sold at the school bake sale. What is the greatest number of packages of baked items

Sav [38]

The greatest number of packages of baked items that can be sold is 10

Solution:

Given that there are 50 cupcakes and 160 cookies to be sold at the school bake sale

To find: greatest number of packages of baked items that can be sold

Each package has the same number of cupcakes and same number of cookies with none left over

So, we have to find the greatest common factor of 50 and 160

The greatest number that is a factor of two (or more) other numbers.

When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.

Greatest common factor of 50 and 160:

The factors of 50 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50

The factors of 160 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160

Then the greatest common factor is 10

So the greatest number of packages sold is 10

Each package will contain:

Given that there 50 cupcakes and 160 cookies

Number of cupcakes in 1 package:

$\rightarrow \frac{50}{10} = 5$

Number of cookies in 1 package:

$\rightarrow \frac{160}{10} = 16$

So each package has the same number of cupcakes and same number of cookies with none left over

Jocelyn owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos. She only has enough supplies to make 150 tacos or burritos. She sells e

timurjin [86]

Answer:

We know that:

Price of a taco = $4

Price of a burrito = $6.50

x = number of tacos sold

y = number of burritos sold.

We must have that:

x + y ≤ 150 (Because she only has supplies to make 150 tacos or burritos, but she can sell less than that)

And also we know that she must sell at least $780, then:

x*$4 + y*$6.50 ≥ $780

Now we found the system of inequalities:

x + y ≤ 150

x*$4 + y*$6.50 ≥ $780

To solve it graphically, we just need to find each one of the region solutions for each equation, and the intersection of these regions will be the solution for the system.

To graph them may be easier to write them as lines, you can do it as follows:

y ≤ 150 - x

y ≥ ($780 - x*$4)/$6.50

in the first equation, we will shade the area below the line, and in the second equation, we will shade the area above the line.

You can see the image below.

Where the accepted solutions are the ones in the darker part, and we only restrict this to positive values of x (because of how we defined the variable x)

Then looking at the image, we can see that one solution can be the point

x = 20, y = 120
