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 :)

Fofino [41]

Answer:

\frac{6}{k-6}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can factor all of the following equations to turn that weird, huge looking thing into \frac{(k+6)(k-6)}{(k-6)(k-10)} ÷ \frac{(k-6)^2}{k(k-6)} × \frac{6(k-10)}{k(k + 6)}. We know that division is simply multiplication by the reciprocal, so that whole equation will turn into \frac{(k+6)(k-6)}{(k-6)(k-10)} × \frac{k(k-6)}{(k-6)^2} × \frac{6(k-10)}{k(k+6)}. Now we can cancel out some values if they are both in the numerator and denominator, which will turn that still huge looking thing into \frac{6}{k-6} which is our final answer, as it cannot be simplified further.

Hope this helped! :)

Write the statement in the if then form perpendicular lines intersect to form right angles
kvv77 [185]

Answer: If perpendicular lines intersect, then they form right angles.


Step-by-step explanation:

You take the first part, "perpendicular lines intersect", and add the "if" to it. Then, you take the second part, "to form right angles", and add the "then" in front of it to get your answer, "If perpendicular lines intersect, then they form right angles."

Hope it helps! :)
