Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of chocolate chips = 6 1/2
Amount of cups of flour = 5/2
The cups of flour should be changes to a mixed fraction and this will be 5/2 = 2 1/2
The question simply means we should find the difference between the fractions given and this will be:
= 6 1/2 - 2 1/2
= 4
The answer to your question is 18 thank me later!
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
the area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as
A = length × breadth
= (x + 5)(x - 5) ← expand factors using FOIL
= x² - 5x + 5x - 25
= x² - 25 ≠ x² - x - 15
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What this question is asking of you is what is the greatest common divisor of 12 and 15. Or, what is the biggest number that divides both 12 and 15.
in order to find this we have to split each number into it's prime components.
for 12 they are 2,2 and 3 (
2
⋅
2
⋅
3
=
12
)
and for 15 they are 3 and 5 (
3
⋅
5
=
15
)
Out of those two groups (2,2,3) and (3,5) the only thing in common is 3, so 3 is the greatest common divisor. That tells us that the greatest number of groups that can exist and have the same number of girls and the same number of boys for each group is 3.
Now to find out how many girls and boys there are going to be in each group we divide the totals by 3, so:
12
3
=
4
girls per group, and
15
3
=
5
boys per group.
(just as a thought exercise, if there were 16 boys, the divisors would have been (2,2,3) and (2,2,2,2), leaving us with 4 groups [

] of 3 girls [12/4] and 4 boys [16/4] )
