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.

Total beads = 42 + 28 + 12 + 18 = 100
Not  yellow or green = 12 + 18 = 30
P(not yellow or green) = 30/100 x 100 = 30%

Total beads = 42 + 28 + 12 + 18 = 100
Red or green = 18 + 28 = 46
P(red or green) = 46/100 x 100 = 46%

1/7 divided by what equals 14
posledela
Assume the number we are looking for in n
we want to know the value of n that makes 1/7 divided by n is 14

Transforming this to an equation:
(1/7) / n = 14
this means that:
1/7 = 14n
1 = 7 x 14n
1 = 98n
n = 1/98

Therefore:
1/7 divided by 1/98 will give us 14

If f(x)=7x+4x and g(x) =1/2x what is the value of (f/g)(5)
Aliun [14]

Answer:

(f/g)(5) = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

All we need to do is plug in 5 for x in both f(x) and g(x) then divide the result of f(x) and g(x) to find our final answer.

Step 1: Plug in 5 for x

f(x) = 7(5) + 4(5) = 55

g(x) = 1/2(5) = 2.5

Step 2: Divide f(x) by g(x)

f(5)/g(5) = 55/2.5 = 22

And we have our final answer!
