Answer:

x = 24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles to solve this problem.  Put the same side of the small triangle over the same side of the large triangle

5 in           8 in

--------- = ------------

15 in         x in

Using cross products

5x = 8*15

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 8*15/5

x = 8*3

x = 24 inches

Look at the picture.

We have the similar triangles (AAA). Therefore the lengths of the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{x}{8}=\dfrac{15}{5}

\dfrac{x}{8}=3           <em>multiply both sides by 8</em>

\boxed{x=24\ in}

Eddi Din [679]

The expression for the greatest common factor of 20 and 30 using the distributive property is 10(2 + 3)

Pounds of ice = 20

Number of cups = 30

The relation for the distributive property :

a × (b + c)

Expand ;

a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c) = ab + ac

Finding the greatest common factor of 20 and 30 ;

  • 20 = 2 × 10

  • 30 = 3 × 10

(2 × 10) + (3 × 10)

According to the distributive property

(2 × 10) + (3 × 10) = 10(2 + 3)

Therefore, the expression for the greatest common factor is 10(2 + 3)
