This is a common factor problem.
Pencils come in a pack of 12
Erasers come in a pack of 10
First, break the number into their prime factors(the idea is that we will break the number down into its smallest multiples, which are prime numbers):
10 = 2 * 5
12 = 2 * 2 *3
So now we take the unique multiples of each number, and when we multiply them together, we will get the smallest number that both 10 and 12 can be divided into(this is what the problem is asking for)
We have (2*2*3) that comes from 12, and the only unique number that comes from the 10 is (5)
So now, we multiply:
2*2*3*5=60
However, this isn't exactly out answer. Now we have to divide our answer by the number of each this in the pack to know how many packs to buy.
60/12=5 packs of pencils
60/10= 6 packs of erasers
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions!!
Answer:
B. Of the people surveyed that were alive at the time, 90% of them knew exactly where they were when they heard the news.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, you are given an equation with < (less than) sign. You can solve this equation and treat the less than sign same as an equal sign. The only difference is when you mirroring the equation or multiplying both sides with minus, which will change the direction of the sign. The calculation should be:
-24 < x-3 -8 x
-24 +3 < x - 8x
-21 < -7x
-21/-7 <x
3 <x
x>3
The answer is D.×>3
