540|2\\270|2\\135|5\\.\ 27|3\\.\ \ 9|3\\.\ \ 3|3\\.\ \ 1|\\540=2\times2\times5\times3\times3\times3\\\\600|2\\300|2\\150|2\\.\ 75|3\\.\ 25|5\\.\ \ 5|5\\.\ \ 1|\\600=2\times2\times2\times3\times5\times5


\frac{540}{600}=\frac{2\times2\times5\times3\times3\times3}{2\times2\times2\times3\times5\times5}=\frac{3\times3}{2\times5}=\frac{9}{10}

First you would see the biggest common factor in between 540 and 600. Here is a trick: to know if you have a factor of 3, you add the numbers of that number, then see if it is dividable by 3. So for number 540: 5+4+0=9. 9/3=3. So 540/3= 180. and for 600: 6+0+0=6. 6/3=2. 600/3=200. Now u have 180/200. divide that by 10 and u get 18/20. and finally you divide that by 2 and you get 9/10. Now the numbers i divided 540/600 we 3, 10 and 2. Numbers 3 and two are prime factors cause u cant divide them anymore unless u get 1 or a decimal number but number 10 is not prime since you can divide that by 2 witch will give you 5. So the prime factors of 540/600 are 2, 2, 3 and 5. 9/10

The formula for the equation describing a straight line is y = b0 + b1x. the value for b1 in this equation represents the ______
Rasek [7]
Equation of a straight line is normally in the form: y = mx + c.

Where, m and c are constants in which;
m = gradient
c = y-intercept.

Comparing this standard way way of writing the equation of a straight line with the current scenario, this equation can be rewritten as;
y = b1x + b0.

This way, b1 = gradient of the line while b0 = y-intercept.

You brought 9 feet of elastic to make hair ties each hair ties need 3 3/8 inches of elastic how many hair ties can you make
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

32\ hair\ ties

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To make one hair ties is needed 3 3/8 inches of elastic

so

using proportion

Find out how many hair ties can you make with 9 feet of elastic

Remember that

1\ ft=12\ in

Convert 9 ft to inches

9\ ft=9*12=108\ in

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

3\frac{3}{8}\ in=\frac{3*8+3}{8}=\frac{27}{8}\ in

using proportion

\frac{1}{(27/8)}=\frac{x}{108}\\\\x=108*8/27\\\\x=32\ hair\ ties
