I believe the answer would be 15,626 , since to find the square inches you just multiple to two measurements together, hope this is right

Answer: 12 squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two lenghts, 108in and 144in, and we want to divide it in squares (remember that the squares have the same lenght in both sides)

So we need to find a common factor between 108 and 144, and if we want to find the minimum number of squares used, we need to find the bigger common factor betwen those two numbers (if we use bugher lengths for the square sides, we will use less squares) To find it we chose the smaller number and we divide it by 2

108/2 = 54

This number divides the other?

144/54 = 2.66 is not a integer number, so 54 is not a common factor.

now we try with 108/3 = 36

and we try:

144/36 = 4

So 36 is a common factor

And we have:

144/36 = 4

108/36 = 3

so the total number of squares is 4*3 = 12

nignag [31]
N = the number

0.5n - 9 = 4n + 5
(0.5n - 0.5n) - 9 = (4n - 0.5n) + 5
-9 = 3.5n + 5
(-9 - 5) = 3.5n + (5 - 5)
-14 = 3.5n
-14/3.5 = 3.5n/3.5
-4 = n

The number is -4.

Rational expression. simplify<br> 36m-48m over 6m.
ladessa [460]
One way is to find common factors

example

8/6=4/3 because 8/6, 8 and 6 have common factor of 2 so divide that out to get 4/3
basically divide the LCM from each

so factor

we can combine 36m-48m into -12m
we have
-12m/6m

common factor is 6m
-12m/6m=(-2)/1 times (6m)/(6m)=-2 times 1=-2

answer is -2
