it will take 8 months for these trees to be same height

Further explanation:

Let x be the number of years then,

Type A is 5 feet tall and grows at a rate of 19 inches per year

The expression for Type A is:

5+19x

Type B is 7 feet tall and grows at a rate of 16 inches per year

The expression for Type B is:

7+16x

Putting both of them equal will give us the time in which both to be same height

5+19x=7+16x\\Subtracting 16x from both sides\\5+19x-16x=7+16x-16x\\5+3x=7\\Subtracting 5 from both sides\\5+3x-5=7-5\\3x=2\\x=\frac{2}{3}\\Mutiplying\ numerator\ and\ denominator\ of\ fraction\ by\ 4\\x=\frac{8}{12}

Hence, it will take 8 months for these trees to be same height

Which pair of numbers is relatively prime
Anna007 [38]
Without any calculations it's evident it can't be neither B (both numbers are even, so they're divisible by 2) nor C (the numbers end in 0 and 5, so they're divisible by 5).

A.
57=3\cdot19\\
96=2^5\cdot3
Both numbers have a factor of 3, so they're not relatively prime.
That means it must be D. But, let's check it.

143=11\cdot13\\
323=17\cdot19

Indeed, those two numbers are relatively prime.
