Answer:

14, 2 and -8 all can be divided by the greatest number, 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do not want a decimal number for each, then first you would choose an even number. Odd numbers will likely make 14, 2 and -8 a decimal.

Dividing by 1 makes the numbers 14, 2 and -8. 1 is an odd number, but it does not affect any of the numbers. However, there may be a better number.

Dividing by 2 makes the numbers 7, 1 and -4. So far this number works to divide them all.

Dividing by 4 makes the numbers 3.5, 0.5 and -2. Only one number is not a decimal, so this does not work.

Dividing by 6 makes the numbers 2.333..., 0.333... and -1.333... All of these numbers are decimals. This will not work either.

We can conclude that any number greater than 2 will not make all the numbers whole. They will be made irrational and decimal.

So 2 is the greatest number that can divide into all of the numbers.

Answer:

New bed dimension of bed 0.5 ft, 0.25 ft

New bed dimension of room 1.16 ft, 1.33 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

bed dimension is given as 6 ft by 3 ft

room dimension is given as 14 ft 16 ft

according to the given information , new dimension of the room and bed will be 1/12 times of actual dimension. therefore we have

New bed dimension of bed $= \frac{1}{12} \times 6 ft, \frac{1}{12} \times 3 ft$

= 0.5 ft, 0.25 ft

New bed dimension of room $= \frac{1}{12} \times 14 ft, \frac{1}{12} \times 16 ft$

= 1.16 ft, 1.33 ft

The formula for the volume of a quarter-sphere is simply one-fourth of the volume of the sphere. So the volume of a quarter-sphere:
V = (1/4) (4/3) (π r³)
or
V = (1/3) (π r³)

Since we are given with the radius of 70 feet, the volume is
V = (1/3) (π) (70³)
V = 359,189 cubic feet
