A library buys 36 English books, 48 Science books and 72 Mathematics books. The thickness of each book is the same. Now, the lib
rarian wants the books to be placed in stacks, such that each stack has books of the same subject, and the height of each stack is the same. Also, the librarian wants as few stacks as possible. How many stacks of books will there be?
First, find the HCF/GCF of 36, 48, and 72. The HCF is 12. So, there will be 12 stacks of books. This is a simple example of HCF. Please mark me as brainliest. Thanks
The GCF of 36, 48, and 72 is 12 so there will be 36 / 12 = 3 stacks of English books, 48 / 12 = 4 stacks of science books and 72 / 12 = 6 stacks of math books for a total of 3 + 4 + 6 = 13 stacks.
Step-by-step explanation: <u><em>the length of a varies string varies inversely as the frequency of its vibrations. A violin string 10 inches long vibrates at a frequency of 512 cycles per second. Find the frequency of an 8-inch string.</em></u>
Since the ratio is part-Whole, first you need to find the whole. If you add all of the marble colors together (17+13+23) you get the total marbles (53) in the box. The ratio of red marbles to the total would be 17 to 53.
