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.

Answer:

therefore, to produce 1000 watches , it would cost 9000 dollars.

Price : 9 dollars a watch

Step-by-step explanation:

C=6000 + 3x

what is the cost of producing 1000 watches?

first do this

C= (1000)= 6000 + 3(1000)

C= (1000)= 6000 +3000

C= 9000

it is 6.09 pm the movie starts at 6:30 pm. while standing in the line for the movie, you count 146 people in front of you. nine
Brilliant_brown [7]
<h2>Answer:You can buy a ticket.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 9 people bought tickets in 70 seconds.

So,\frac{9}{70} people can buy tickets in a second.

It is given that the current time is 6:09pm and movie starts at 6:30pm.

So there is 30-9=21minutes until movie starts.

In 21 minutes,the number of persons that can buy tickets are \frac{9}{70}\times 21\times 60=162.

So,162 people can buy tickets in 21 minutes.

Since there are only 146 people in front of you,you can buy a ticket.

A plane is on its approach to land on the runway. The jet’s height above the ground is given in feet as a function of the time i
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear function because for every 5 seconds that pass, the height of the plane drops 500 feet, or -500 to be exact. So that's the slope of the line. If we look at the table we can determine where the graph goes through the h axis. The h axis is the y axis, and the t axis is the x axis. So where the graph goes through the h axis is also the y-intercept. If your teacher is any good at all, he/she would make sure that you understand beyond a shadow of a doubt that the y-intercept exists where x = 0. Looking at the table, where x (t) is 0, y (h) is 4000 feet.

Writing the linear equation then is super easy. In the form y = mx + b, we already know both the slope (-100) and the y-intercept (4000), so we fill in accordingly:

h = -100t + 4000 which appears to be choice a.

The length of a rectangular poster is 7 inches more than twice its width. Find the length of the poster if its perimeter is 110
lakkis [162]
Let W = width of poster 
Since the length is 7 inches longer than the width, the length is represented by W + 7. 
We know the perimeter is equal to twice the length + twice the width and that is 110 inches. Mathematically that looks like: 
2(W + 7) + 2(W) = 110
Now let's solve for W: 

2(w+7)+2w=110

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(w+7)+2w=110

Simplify: (see simplify steps down below)

4w+14=110

Step 2: Subtract 14 from both sides.

4w+14−14=110−14

4w=96

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

4w4=964

w=24

Answer:

w=24

Simplify Steps:
(2)(w)+(2)(7)+2w=110(Distribute)

2w+14+2w=110

(2w+2w)+(14)=110(Combine Like Terms)

4w+14=110
