With the ten children already in the elevator, the weight is at 400 pounds. Therefore you have 1,100 pounds before reaching the maximum weight. So about 7 adults can get in.

If the lift can have 1,500pounds you will have to subtract the children first.
40pounds x 10children=400pounds
1500pounds-400pounds=1100

Then you will have to do
1100 / 150 to work out the adults amount

The equals 7.33 so you would need to round it down ,




therefore 7adults can fit in the lift

What is the greatest common factor of 90, 126, 180 and 990?
mylen [45]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  18

Step-by-step explanation:

90 = 18·5

126 = 18·7

180 = 18·10

990 = 18·55

The greatest common factor of these numbers is 18.

__

<em>Comment on the GCF</em>

It can be useful to know Euclid's algorithm for finding the GCF:

  1. Determine the remainder from dividing the larger number by the smaller.
  2. If the remainder is zero, the smaller number is the GCF. If the remainder is non-zero, use it to replace the larger number and repeat from step 1.

For example, 126 mod 90 = 36; 90 mod 36 = 18; 36 mod 18 = 0, so 18 is the GCF of 126 and 90. (The modulo function 'mod' returns the remainder from division.)
