Total money Marcus has = $28

Money spent to buy a notebook = $3.75

Money left now = 28-3.75=24.25

Money needed to be saved = $11.25

So, the amount of money Marcus can spend = 24.25-11.25=13

Cost of a packet of chips = $1.30

The inequality to determine the maximum number of chips he can buy is:

Let the number of chips Marcus can buy = x

As he cannot spend more than $13 to buy chips so equation becomes:

1.30x\leq 13

Solving this we get

x\leq 10

Hence, Marcus can buy a maximum of 10 packs of chips and  save $11.25

Drag each pair of numbers to show if their greatest common factor (GCF) is less than 2, equal to 2, equal to 3, or greater than
TEA [102]

Answer:

GCF < 2 : 2 and 7, 12 and 13

GCF = 2 : 2 and 6

GCF = 3 : 3 and 6

GCF > 3 : 4 and 12, 6 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common Factor (GCF) of two or more integers, which are not all zero, is the largest positive integer that divides each of the integers.

(a) 2 and 7: Both 2 and 7 are prime numbers, therefore the GCF of 2 and 7 is 1 which is less than 2.

(b) 2 and 6: Both 2 and 6 are even numbers, therefore the GCF of 2 and 6 is 2.

(c) 4 and 12: Both 4 and 12 are even numbers and multiple of 4, therefore the GCF of 4 and 12 is 4 which is greater than 3.

(d) 12 and 13: 13 is a prime number, therefore the GCF of 12 and 13 is 1 which is less than 2.

(e) 6 and 18: Both 6 and 18 are even numbers and multiple of 6, therefore the GCF of 6 and 18 is 6 which is greater than 2 and greater than 3.

(f) 3 and 6: Both are multiple of 3, therefore the GCF of 3 and 6 is 3.
