Waqas wishes to distribute 128 bananas and also 176 apples equally among a certain number of children. find the highest number o

f children who can get the fruit in this way
Mathematics

Answer:
The maximum number of children = 16 

Explanation:
The greatest number of students who can get the fruit in this way (equally) will be equal to the highest common factor between the number of bananas and the number of apples.

Number of bananas = 128 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2
number of apples     = 176 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 *11

We can note that:
the highest common factor = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 
the highest common factor = 16

This means that the maximum number of children to get both equally is 16

Hope this helps :)

Plz help me!!!

To solve this we are going to use the exponential function: f(t)=a(1(+/-)b)^t
where
f(t) is the final amount after t years
a is the initial amount
b is the decay  or grow rate rate in decimal form
t is the time in years

Expression A 
f(t)=624(0.95)^{4t}
Since the base (0.95) is less than one, we have a decay rate here.
Now to find the rate b, we are going to use the formula: b=|1-base|*100%
b=|1-0.95|*100%
b=0.05*100%
b=5%
We can conclude that expression A decays at a rate of 5% every three months.

Now, to find the initial value of the function, we are going to evaluate the function at t=0
f(t)=624(0.95)^{4t}
f(0)=624(0.95)^{0t}
f(0)=624(0.95)^{0}
f(0)=624(1)
f(0)=624
We can conclude that the initial value of expression A is 624.

Expression B
f(t)=725(1.12)^{3t}
Since the base (1.12) is greater than 1, we have a growth rate here.
To find the rate, we are going to use the same equation as before:
b=|1-base|*100%
b=|1-1.12|*100
b=|-0.12|*100%
b=0.12*100%
b=12%
We can conclude that expression B grows at a rate of 12% every 4 months.

Just like before, to find the initial value of the expression, we are going to evaluate it at t=0
f(t)=725(1.12)^{3t}
f(0)=725(1.12)^{0t}
f(0)=725(1.12)^{0}
f(0)=725(1)
f(0)=725
The initial value of expression B is 725.

We can conclude that you should select the statements:
- Expression A decays at a rate of 5% every three months, while expression B grows at a rate of 12% every fourth months. 

- Expression A has an initial value of 624, while expression B has an initial value of 725.

A polling company reported that ​% of surveyed adults said that Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

a) 376.66

b) Option 2: No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying" because a count of people must result in a whole.

c) 377

d) 40.77%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 37% of 1018 is;

37/100 × 1018 = 376.66

b) Thus, the result in a above is not a whole number. Thus;

No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying" because a count of people must result in a whole.

c) from a above a, we got a value of 376.66.

Now the actual number would be preferably an integer. Thus, actual number is approximately 377.

d) percentage of respondents said that cellular phones are not at all harmful = 415/1018 × 100% = 40.77%

What is the solution to this linear equation?<br> 4b + 6 = 2 - b + 4
katovenus [111]

b = 0

To solve make b the subject so:

4b + 6 = 2 - b + 4

5b + 6 = 6

5b = 0

5 = 0/5

= 0
