If 160 is divided by x, then the remainder is 4. What is the remainder when 315 is divided by x?

Let us rewrite this equation as:
<em>160/x = some number + 4/x
</em>we can assume that some number of x's can fit into 160, but x is greater than 4 so we have a remainder.
We can figure out by using the remainder that x is completely divisible into (160-4) or 156. Knowing this we can assume that x is some factor of 156 that is greater than 4. 
Let us list the factors of 156
1,2,3,4,6,12,13,26,39,52,78,156
Now let us refer back to the restrictions we put on x.
<em>x must be > 4 as anything less than 4 would divide at least 1 more time into it. So now we are left with a bunch of other factors. And the cool thing is that all of the factors excluding anything that is = or < 4 all work for getting a remainder of 4. Thus we can use the largest factor and set it equal to x.
</em>So x = 156
then if we divide 315 by x or <em>315/x = 315/156 = 2 and a remainder of 3
so the answer would be 3.</em>

It takes 2 3/4 gallons of water to fill up 3 1/3 containers.How much water woud it take to fill 4 containers.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

3.3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

(2 3/4)/x = (3 1/3)/4

(11/4)/x = (10/3)/4 (cross multiplication)

(11/4)*(4/1)=44/4=11

11/(10/3) = ( 11/1 ) * (3/10) = 33/10 = 3.3 gallons

**HELP**<br>find the angle measures given the figure is a rhombus.​
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

m<1=74

m<2=37

Step-by-step explanation:

m<2 is the same as the other angle, 37 degrees. So now we need to find the other angle in the triangle.

37+37+x=180.

The total degree of a triangle is 180.

x=106

Subtract that from 180 to get m<1.

180-106=74

I hope this helps!

Good luck!
