Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you need to find the largest common factor. The way I did it was by listing out all of the factors of each number, then going through all of them and finding the largest common factor which was 8.

Answer:

8 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a common, GCF question and the question becomes, what number is the GCF of 40 and 24.

40= 2x2x2x5

24=2x2x2x3

Both share 2x2x2, which is 8 so the largest number of pencils in each pack is 8.

The average number of newspapers for sale in an airport stand is 15. SD is 6. The average age of the pilots is 36 and SD is 4. W
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The average age of pilots has a lower coefficient of variation, so it is the most consistent data set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of variation is used to measure consistency of a data set. It is the standard deviation divided by the mean. The higher the coefficient of variation, the more variable, that is, the least consistent the data set is.

The average number of newspapers for sale in an airport stand is 15. SD is 6.

The consistency is:

C = \frac{6}{15} = 0.4

The average age of the pilots is 36 and SD is 4.

The consistency is:

C = \frac{4}{36} = 0.11

The average age of pilots has a lower coefficient of variation, so it is the most consistent data set.

Angle 1 and angle 2 form a linear pair.if m angle =5x+9 and m angle 2=3x+11,find the measures of both angels.
lbvjy [14]

Answer: ∠1 = 109°    ∠2 = 71°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

If the two angles form a linear pair, then their sum is 180°

  ∠1      +     ∠2     = 180°

(5x + 9) + (3x + 11) = 180

              8x + 20  = 180

              8x          = 160

                x          = 20

∠1 = 5x + 9

    = 5(20) + 9

    = 100   + 9

    = 109

∠2 = 3x + 11

     = 3(20) + 11

     =    60  + 11

     =         71

  <u> CHECK:</u>

∠1   + ∠2 = 180°

109° + 71° = 180°

     180°   = 180°  \checkmark
