Answer:

15 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 27 students. The number of girls is only 4/5 of the number of boys. I started by splitting the class. 14 boys and 13 girls doesn't work, so I changed it to 12 and 15. If it was 12 girls and 15 boys, the girls would have 4/5 of the boys, so it must be 12 girls and 15 boys.

What is the greatest common factor of 54x^3, 18x, 36x^2

Alex73 [517]

It’s 18x because 36 and 54 are both divisible by 18, and 18 can be divisible by 18 (making 1), resulting in 18 being the most common number between the numbers, whereas the ‘x’ is common between all 3 numbers and since the least amount of x is 1, the answer is just x without an exponent
