Answer: 18 baskets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to find the greatest common multiple of these 3 numbers, and the greatest common multiple will be the maximum number of baskets:

To find it, we took the smaller number of the set, in this case 90, and we divide it by the smaller number that we can:

90/2 = 45

now we mus see if 45 divides 144 and 108, and is easy to see that is not the case, so this is not a common factor.

Now we try with 90/3 = 30

now, 30 divides the other two numbers? of course not (the multiples of 30 are 60, 90, 120, 150, etc)

Try with the next one,

90/4 is not integer

90/5 = 18

let's see if 18 divides the other two:

108/18 = 6

144/18 = 8

So 18 is the greatest common factor, this means that we will have 18 baskets, with 8 apples, 6 oranges and 5 pears each.

A rectangular park is 150 yards on one side and 125 yards on the other.
Ket [755]
So, there is a rectangular park with longer side (length) 150 yards and shorter side (width) 125 yards.

so walking around the rectangular park once is like covering the Perimeter (p) of the rectangular park.

So, lets find the perimeter of the park.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( l + w)
                                    = 2 ( 150 + 125 )
                                    = 2 * 275
                                    = 550 yards

Now, walking around the park two times is like doubling the Perimeter of the rectangle. So, when Debbie walks around the park 2 times, he covers the perimeter of the rectangular field twice.

i.e. Debbie walked 2 * Perimeter
                               = 2 * 550
                               = 1100 yards

Now, If Debbie wanted to walk 1,000,000 yards, she has to walk the  rectangular park (1,000,000 / the Perimeter of the park)
         i.e.  1,000,000 / 550
             = 1818.18 times

So, 
(a) she walks 1100 yards
(b) She have to walk 1818.18 times

Solve x;<br> x- 2 (divided by) -8 = 0<br><br> --Please Help! Due in for tomorrow! Xx
Yanka [14]
X=2
you multiply by 8 on both sides. so that your equation now looks like x-2=0
then you will add by 2 on both sides.
x=2
