There are several process for finding the HCF or Highest Common factor for any numbers given. In this case the two numbers given are 240 and 1500.
Firstly we need to divide 1500 by 240 and check if there are any remainders. On dividing we get quotient is 6 and remainder is 60. Now again we have to divide 240 by 60 which we found as remainder previously. Then on dividing 240 by 60 we get no remainder. So the 60 is the HCF or the Highest Common Factor of 240 and 1500. This is the easiest process by which the HCF of any set of numbers can be found.

Another way is to express the two numbers as a product of their prime factors.

240 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

1500 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 5

If you pair up a factor of 240 with the same factor of 1500, you find that 2 matches twice, 3 once and 5 once

so HCF = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60

Physics students drop a ball from the top of a 100 foot high building and model its height as a function time with the equation
pishuonlain [190]

When the ball hits the ground, the height is 0.

0 = 100 - 16t²

0 = (10 - 4t)(10 + 4t)

0 = 10 - 4t     or     0 = 10 + 4t

4t = 10          or       -4t = 10

 t = \frac{10}{4}             or          t = -\frac{10}{4}

Time cannot be negative (unless you have a time machine) so disregard  -\frac{10}{4}

Answer: t = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 seconds

According to Greg, perfect cherry pies have a ratio of 240 cherries to 3 pies. How many cherries does Greg need to make 9 perfec
vfiekz [6]
Simple, 3 goes in to 9, 3 times.  That would mean that to find the number of cherries, multiply 240 by 3.  Greg needs 720 cherries for 9 perfect cherry pies.

500 plates cost $18.00 what does each plate cost​
ozzi

Answer:

$0.036

Step-by-step explanation:

I will be solving this questions in a rational, proportional way.

This question given is directly proportional. There are two types of proportion.

Direct - Let's say there are two values, x and y. In direct proportion, while x   increases, y increases with it.  

Inverse- Taking x and y, in inverse proportion, while x increases, y decreases or while y increases, x decreases.

In the given example, there are two values, number of plates and cost of plates. While the number of plates increases, the cost would surely increase. Therefore, giving us that it is a direct proportion.

500 plates : $18.00 :: 1 : $x

500 plates is to 18 dollars, then, 1 plate is to how many dollars?

In direct proportion, the product of extremes is equal to the product of means.

500(x) = 18(1)

500x = 18

x = 18 / 500

x = 0.036

Hence, one plate costs $0.036 or 3.6 cents
