Maria ran 17 miles at an average speed of 5 miles per hour.

1 answer:

8 0

I think this is what it's asking for...

a) 17 is the total amount ran
5 is the number of miles
x is the hours (which is unknown)
you have to find x. the problem says that there are 5 miles per hour so your x would go with your 5. the 17 stays on the opposite side of the =
17=5x

b) to find the amount of time (x) just solve for x
17=5x is your equation
you now have to isolate the x (do this by dividing 5 on both sides of the equation)
5/x= x alone
17/5=3.4
3.4=x
* remember that x is hours in this problem, so round if you need too

Solise is planting 24 bushes and 16 trees in equal rows. She wants all the rows to be exactly the same with no plants left over.

Since Solise want to plant both trees and bushes in the same number of rows, you need to find the common factor.

Since the question is asking what the greatest number of rows she can plant, you have to find the greatest common factor.

The greatest common factor of 24 and 16 is 8.

You can plant 24 bushes in 8 rows (meaning you can divide it by 8), and 16 trees in 8 rows (meaning you can divide it by 8). Since the greatest number you can divide them both by is 8, the GCF of 24 and 16 is 8.

So the greatest number of rows Solise can plant is 8 rows.
