Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.
<u>a.</u>
As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find <u>GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72. </u>
First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

The common factors are: 2, 2 and 3
Thus the GCF 
So, the greatest possible length of the pieces without having any cloth left over will be 12 inches.
<u>b. </u>
For finding the number of pieces for each color cloth, we will just <u>divide the length of each cloth by 12</u>. So...
Number of pieces for blue cloth 
Number of pieces for gold cloth
and
Number of pieces for white cloth 
First write the equation in slope-intercept form which is more commonly known as <em>y = mx + b</em> form where the <em>m </em>or the coefficient of the x term represents the slope of the <em>b</em> or the constant term represents the y-intercept.
Subtract 2x from both sides to get <em>y = -2x - 4</em>.
I put the x term first because that's how it is in y = mx + b form.
Now we can see that the <em>b</em> or the constant term is -4.
We can write this as the ordered pair (0, -4).
Keep in mind when writing a y-intercept as an ordered pair, your x-coordinate will always be 0 in the ordered pair.
Answer:
w >= 1.7
