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

Julie has 5 cherry lollipops,1 lime lollipops, and 2 grape lollipops in a bag. She is going to select one lollipop, replace the
Georgia [21]

Answer: \dfrac{15}{32}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of cherry lollipop = 5

The total number of lollipop = 8

the number of lollipops other than grape =6

The probability of selecting a cherry lollipop is given by :_

\text{P(Cherry)}=\dfrac{5}{8}

The probability of selecting a lollipop other than grape is given by :_

\text{P(Other than grape)}=\dfrac{6}{8}

Since, there is replacement , then the events are independent of each other.

Now, the probability that Julie will select a cherry lollipop and then a lollipop other than grape is given by :-

\text{P(Cherry and other than grape)}=\dfrac{5}{8}\times\dfrac{6}{8}=\dfrac{15}{32}

Hence, the required probability =\dfrac{15}{32}

The Frill family and the Smith family go to the movies.
Sati [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the price of 1 adult ticket.

Let c be the price of 1 child ticket.

given,

6a + 2c = 124

as equation 1,

and

3a + 5c = 100

as equation 2.

Now we will solve for a and c using elimination method of simultaneous equations.

Now we multiply equation 2 by 2 to eliminate a and solve for c.

3a \times 2 + 5c \times 2 = 100 \times 2 \\ 6a + 10c = 200

This new equation will be equation 3.

Now we will use equation 1 - equation 3 to eliminate a and solve for c.

(6a - 6a) + (2c - 10c) = 124 - 200 \\ 0 + ( - 8c) =  - 76 \\  - 8c =  - 76 \\ c =  - 76 \div  - 8 \\  = 9.5

Now substitute c into equation 2.

3a + 5(9.5) = 100 \\ 3a + 47.5 = 100 \\ 3a = 100 - 47.5 \\ 3a = 52.5 \\ a = 52.5 \div 3 \\  = 17.5

Therefore one adult ticket will cost $17.50 and one child ticket will cost $9.50.
