The greatest common factor of 45m and 6m^5 is 3m. Here's how to find a greatest common factor:

1). Figure out the greatest number that divides evenly into every number in a given set. In your case, the number is 3.

2). Figure out the greatest number of variables that each of the monomials share. In your case, both of your monomials have at least 1 m. This can simply be represented as m.

The final answer is the answers you get from steps 1 and 2 combined.

a scale drawing of a bus has a scale of 1/2 inch to 5 feet. If the length of the school bus is 4 1/2 inches on the scale drawing

TEA [102]

Let x feet be the actual length of the school bus. You know that in a scale drawing

$\dfrac{1}{2} \text{ inch } - 5 \text{ feet},$

then

$4\dfrac{1}{2} \text{ inch } - x \text{ feet}.$

Write a proportion:

$\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}}{4\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{5}{x}\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{5\cdot 4\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{5\cdot \frac{9}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{\frac{45}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{45}{2}\cdot \dfrac{2}{1}=45\text{ feet.}$

Answer: the actual length of the school bus is 45 feet.
