The GCF of two numbers is sometimes a composite number. 
statuscvo [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

A Composite number is the number which is not prime except 1. Hence, it has factors other than 1 and itself.

GCF is a greatest common factor i.e. the greatest factor that divides two numbers.

The GCF of two numbers can be composite number.

Example:

GCF of 8 and 24 = 8 which is a composite number.

GCF of 6 and 21 = 3 which is not a composite number.

Thus, GCF two numbers is sometimes a composite number.

a train goes 20% farther than an older train in the same amount of time. During the time it takes the other train to go 200 mile
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

240 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we need to write an equation. For this problem let <u>d be the distance traveled</u>. We know that the new train (being much more modern than poor old Thomas who is long retired) can go 20% further. To show this we will take 20% of 200 and then add that to the original distance.

Our equation would look something like this:

d=200+(20%·200)

[one more little note: to find percentage take your percent and convert it into a decimal 20%=0.2)

d=200+(0.2·200)

d=200+40

<u>d=240</u>

A page should have perimeter of 42 inches. The printing area within the page
Tamiku [17]

Overall  dimensions of the page in order to maximize the printing area is  page should be 11 inches wide and 10 inches long .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have , A page should have perimeter of 42 inches. The printing area within the page  would be determined by top and bottom margins of 1 inch from each side, and the  left and right margins of 1.5 inches from each side. let's assume  width of the page be x inches  and its length be y inches So,

Perimeter = 42 inches

⇒ 2(x+y) = 42\\x+y = 21\\y = 21-x

width of printed area = x-3  & length of printed area = y-2:

area = length(width)

area = (x-3)(y-2)\\area = (x-3)(21-x-2)\\area = (x-3)(19-x)\\area = -x^{2} + 22x -57

Let's find \frac{d(area)}{dx}:

\frac{d(area)}{dx} = \frac{d(-x^{2}+22x-57)}{dx} = -2x +22 , for area to be maximum \frac{d(area)}{dx}= 0

⇒ -2x+22 = 0\\2x =22\\x=11 inches

And ,

y = 21-x\\y = 21-11\\y = 10 inches

∴ Overall  dimensions of the page in order to maximize the printing area is  page should be 11 inches wide and 10 inches long .

(-2h3n2)(-5h2n2)<br> How
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: 9h x 8n^2

we rearrange this underneath the question (-5h-2h) (2nx3n)(2+2) or if 2^2 see explanation. It must therefore be 7h6n4

Step-by-step explanation:

if its ^2 )(power2) then the second reasonable answer is (7h-2h)(2n^2 x 2n^2)=9h x 4n^2 x4n^2 =9h 8n^2 or 17hn^2 but i leave as 9h 8n^2

You can expand only if multiplying 9hx4 for example but not combine the letters. The questions that ask you to mix are much different to this. but if you want to add them 9h+8n^2 =17hn^2

Which is bigger? 1.27 or 1 1/3?
uranmaximum [27]
11/3 is bigger 1.27 because when you do 11/3 you get 3.66666666666666666667 which is clearly bigger than 1.27 so like I said 11/3 is bigger than 1.27.
