How to factor the expression 24+8y-16w ?

1 answer:

8 0

The best thing to do here is to find a common factor in all 3.
24, 8 and 16 all have 8 in common- therefore, this will be outside the bracket
You then need to divide everything in the equation by 8, to find out what will go inside the bracket.
24/8= 3
8y/8= y
16w/8= 2w
Therefore, these go inside the bracket.
The factorisation os 24+8y-16w is 8(3+y-2w)
Hope this helps :)

Lara has three cats: Socks, Princess, and Luna. The ratio of Sock's weight to Princess's weight is 4:5. The ratio of Princess's

romanna [79]

A = Sock's weight
b = Princess' weight
c = Luna's weight

a : b = 4 : 5
b : c = 6 : 7

at this point, we have to change the 2 ratios (a : b and b : c) into one ratio (a : b : c)
to do that, we have to change the ratio number so the number b in both ratio is the same

a : b = 4 : 5 = 24 : 30
b : c = 6 : 7 = 30 : 35
From that we can conclude that
a : b : c = 24 : 30 : 35

Since we're looking for the ratio of Sock's weight to Luna's weight, it will be
a : c = 24 : 35

jamal completed his math homework in 2/3 of an hour and his reading homework in 3/5 of an hour. How much time did it take him to

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: We have to add how much time it took him to do all of his homework. To do this, we have to add 2/3 and 3/5.

First, we have to find a LCM between 3 and 5.

The LCM between those numbers are 15.

Next we find out what number to multiply 3 by to get 15, we multiply it by 5.

2 * 5 = 10

3 * 5 = 15
