So 72 pencils and 24 calculators
so greates number of identical calculators
this means
what is the biggest number that we can divide 72 and 24 by and get a whole number
this is called the GCM or greatest common multipule
to find the GCM, you factor 72 and group the like ones
72=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 3
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3
so the common group is 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 or 24
so the greates number of packs is 24
so pencils
72 divided by 24=72/24=3
3 pencils per pack
24 divided by 24=24/24=1
1 calulator per pack
answer is 3 pencils and 1 calculator per pack
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
wilma is 22.5 mph
fred is 25.5 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Time:40 minutes, or 2/3 hours
Speed:
Fred:x+3
Wilma: x
Distance:32 miles
2/3(x+x+3)=32
2/3(2x+3)=32
1 1/3x+2=32
4/3x=30
x=22.5
wilma is 22.5 mph
fred is 22.5+3= 25.5 mph
