The greatest number of students to whom 24 pens and 32 pencils can be equally  divided is 8.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have to find the greatest number of students to whom 24 pens and 32 pencils can be equally divided. Let's calculate ratio of pens to pencils and then we will simplify , or we can find find HCF( Highest common factor) of pen & pencils and HCF will be the maximum number of students whom equally pens & pencils will be distributed. Ratio:

⇒ \frac{pens}{pencils} = \frac{24}{32}

⇒ \frac{pens}{pencils} = \frac{3(8)}{4(8)}

⇒ \frac{pens}{pencils} = \frac{3}{4}

So , 3pens + 4 pencils = Pens+ Pencils

⇒  3pens + 4 pencils = Pens+ Pencils

⇒   3x + 4x = 24+ 32

⇒  7x = 56

⇒ x = 8

Therefore, the greatest number of students to whom 24 pens and 32 pencils can be equally  divided is 8.

If a=(-1, -3) and b=(11, -8) what is the length of ab?
professor190 [17]

Answer: D.  The length is 13 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1, -3 )    Find the difference between the x values and y values.

 (11, -8)  

-3-(-8) = 5

-1-11 =   -12    now find the  absolute values.

The absolute value of 5 is 5 .  The absolute value of  -12 is 12.

Now use the Pythagorean Theorem formula a^2 + b^2 =c^2  where c square is the length between AB.

5^2 + 13^2 = C^2

25 + 144 = c^2  

169=c^2

c= 13

Sam and Liam raced each other up and then down the hill. Sam's average speed up the hill was 1 mph, and his average speed down t
Radda [10]

So, we know that it takes Sam 1 mph up and 9 mph down and it takes Liam both 2 mph down and up the hill. So if we divide the 2 mph for Liam by 2 miles (the whole length of the hill)  we will get 1 or 1 hour. Then we do 1/1 (i don't know how to explain this part of why we do that, sorry) and than we do 1 / 9 and we get 1/9 so we add them and get 1 1/9 so that's Sam's time.

      So, Liam took one hour and Sam took 1 and 1/9 hours, in conclusion liam was faster
