Answer: The maximum length of each section should be 14 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Measures of trunks are 28 feet, 14 feet, and 42 feet.

We need to cut three tree trunks into equal section so that the size of sections are as long as possible.

So, we do H.C.F. of 28,14, and 42.

And H.C.F. of 28,14, and 42 = 14

So, the maximum length of each section should be 14 feet.

Answer: 14 feet

you have to find the GCF (greatest common factor)

14: 1, 2, 7, 14
28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28
42: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

Does anyone know how to do this ? I do not understand how to do this project

So, basically you have to get a data set, which you can almost freely choose the subject of. Then, you must get a visual representation, like a bar graph, with all of the data that you use. Make sure you label!! Lastly, all you have to do is answer all of the questions in part 3. Those include numbers 1, 2, 4, and 5. for number 3, you are able to choose between letters a and b, depending on either you or your subject. Then you just turn it in. Sorry if it was a vague description, but it's a pretty straightforward project. Hope it helped a little bit!!

Step-by-step explanation:

there 5^(n+1) + 5^(n+2) = 5^n x 5^1 + 5^n x 5^2 breaking them as x^(a+b) = x^a x x^b

then taking common 5^n from both terms

Jess owns 4 red shirts, 2 blue shirts, and 3 white shirts. She chooses a shirt to wear at random. What is the probability that s
IgorC [24]
First find the total amount of shirts:
4 red shirts+2 blue shirts+3 white shirts=9 shirts total
3 of the shirts are white, which means three out of the nine total shirts are white, so she has a 3/9 chance of picking a white shirt.  3/9 simplifies to 1/3 so the chance she picks a white shirt is 1/3.
