Answer:

12 arrangements

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using the Greatest Common Factor method.

We are told that:

She has 36 red carnations, 60 white carnations, and 72 pink carnations.

The same number of each item should be in each basket.

The greatest number of baskets is calculated as follows:

Step 1

The factors of 36 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

The factors of 60 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

The factors of 72 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

Step 2

We Identify the number that is greatest and common amongst 36,60, and 72

This is 12.

Then the greatest common factor is 12

Therefore, the greatest number of arrangements she can make if she uses every carnation is 12 arrangements

The weight of a boy was 15kg last year. If his weight increases by 3kg this year, find the percentage increase in his weight.
WARRIOR [948]
This year = 18kg
18 x .3= 5.4
The percentage change would be 5.4%. If it needs to be rounded by the nearest tenth, then it would be 5%.
I’m pretty confident this is the answer but I’m not 100% sure. I hope this helps!

dezoksy [38]
27-2b > -6
-2b > -6-27
-2b > -33
b < -33/-2 (you have to change the sign when you divide with a negative number)
b < 16.5
(all the signs are supposed to have a line under them to make them greater or equal or less than or equal to)
