Answer:

The third side has a length of 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The two sides of equal length can be represented as x, and x

The thirds side is five less that twice the length of the other sides can be represented as  2x - 5.

The perimeter is 23, so the sum of all 3 sides is 23, now we have..

x + x + 2x - 5 = 23          solve for x...

4x = 28

x = 7,

so two sides are 7, and 7, and the third side is

2(7) - 5

  14 - 5

   9

Mel has to put the greatest number of
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Mel should use the least  common multiple to solve the problem

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Mel has to put the greatest number of bolts and nuts in each box so each box has the same number of bolts and the same number of nuts.  

We have to find that should Mel use the greatest common factor or the least common multiple to solve the problem?

He should use least common multiple.

Let us see an example, suppose 12 bolts and nuts are to be fit in 6 boxes.

Then, if we took H.C.F of 12 and 6, it is 6, which means 6 bolts and nuts in each box, but, after filling 2 boxes with 6 bolts and nuts, there will be nothing left, which is wrong as remaining boxes are empty.

So the remaining method to choose is L.C.M.

Hence, he should use L.C.M method.

Answer:

5/7, 2/3, and 16/21

Step-by-step explanation:

If you put them all under the same denominator you will get 2/3=14/21, 5/7= 10/21, and 16/21. And if you put them in order it is 10/21, 14/21, and 16/21. Hope this helps, let me know if correct!!
