The factors of 48 are:
1 x 48
2 x 24
3 x 16
4 x 12
6 x 8
and visa versa: 48 x 1 etc.
To make the product negative, one of the factors has to be positive and one has to be negative. To find the greatest sum, make the bigger number the positive factor and the smaller number the negative factor. So, -1 x 48 = -48 and the sum of -1 + 48 = 47 which would be the greatest possible sum.
Well if it is the same number of Toothbrushes and Toothpaste tubes in a pack then you use the smallest number 12 and this is the answer.
The greatest number of packages he can make is 12.
Answer:
x>9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
It is 7/24
Step-by-step explanation:
So first you want a common denominator so we have to find the least common multiple of 3 and 8, which is 24.
Next you have to multiply the same to the numerator, I usually go by the phrase whatever you do to the bottom you do to the top. So 8 times 2 is 16 and 3 times 3 is nine.
Everything changed should be 16/24-9/24
then we do 16-9 is 7 and you never subtract the denominators so 2/3-3/8 is 7/24
