Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Packages of pencils = 6

Packages of erasers = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Pencils = 10/package

Erasers = 12 / package

Process

Find the least common factor of 10 and 12

                                    10     12     2

                                     5       6     2

                                     5       3     3

                                     5        1    5

                                      1

LCF = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60

Finally divide 60 by the number of pencils or erasers in each package

Packages of pencils = 60/10 = 6

Packages of erasers = 60/12 = 5

Question4..........................
belka [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- (\frac{2}{5} )²

The negative is outside the bracket and is not squared, that is

= - \frac{2}{5} × \frac{2}{5}

= - \frac{2(2)}{5(5)} = - \frac{4}{25}

Given

\frac{5^3}{3} = \frac{5(5)(5)}{3} = \frac{125}{3}

Mai biked 5 1/4 miles today, and Noah biked 2 1/2 miles. How many times the length of Noah’s bike ride was Mai’s bike ride?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The length of Mai's bike ride was 2.1 times the length of Noah's ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mai biked 5 1/4 miles today

So he biked, in miles:

5 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5*4 + 1}{4} = \frac{20+1}{4} = \frac{21}{4}

Noah biked 2 1/2 miles.

So, in miles, he biked:

2 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2*2 + 1}{2} = \frac{4+1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}

How many times the length of Noah’s bike ride was Mai’s bike ride?

We divide the Mai distance by Noah's distance. In a division of fractions, we multiply the numerator by the inverse of the denominator. So

\frac{\frac{21}{4}}{\frac{5}{2}} = \frac{21}{4} \times {2}{5} = \frac{21*1}{2*5} = \frac{21}{10} = 2.1

The length of Mai's bike ride was 2.1 times the length of Noah's ride.
