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.

Find equations of the spheres with center(1, −1, 6)that touch the following planes.a) xy-planeb) yz-planec) xz-plane
Misha Larkins [42]

Given :

Center of sphere , C( 1 , -1 , 6 ) .

To Find :

Find equations of the spheres with center (1, −1, 6) that touch the following planes.a) xy-plane b) yz-plane c) xz-plane .

Solution :

a)

Distance of the point from xy-plane is :

d = 6 units .

So , equation of circle with center C and radius 6 units is :

(x-1)^2+(y-(-1))^2+(z-6)^2=6^2\\\\(x-1)^2+(y+1)^2+(z-6)^2=36

b)

Distance of point from yz-plane is :

d = 1 unit .

So , equation of circle with center C and radius 1 units is :

(x-1)^2+(x+1)^2+(z-6)^2=1^2\\\\(x-1)^2+(x+1)^2+(z-6)^2=1

c)

Distance of point from xz-plane is :

d = 1 unit .

So , equation of circle with center C and radius 1 units is :

(x-1)^2+(x+1)^2+(z-6)^2=1^2\\\\(x-1)^2+(x+1)^2+(z-6)^2=1

Hence , this is the required solution .
