25 bags have zips on them
Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.
<u>a.</u>
As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find <u>GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72. </u>
First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

The common factors are: 2, 2 and 3
Thus the GCF 
So, the greatest possible length of the pieces without having any cloth left over will be 12 inches.
<u>b. </u>
For finding the number of pieces for each color cloth, we will just <u>divide the length of each cloth by 12</u>. So...
Number of pieces for blue cloth 
Number of pieces for gold cloth
and
Number of pieces for white cloth 
Answer:
The smaller number is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Larger number = x
Smaller number = y
Write 2 equations
y + 6 = x
2x = 5y
Substitute x in the first equation to the second equation
2(y + 6) = 5y
Multiply 2(y + 6)
2y + 12 = 5y
Subtract 2y from both sides of the equation
12 = 3y
Divide both sides of the equation by 3
y = 4
x = y + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10
The smaller number is 4

2. She could get 12 envelopes for 3 dollars each (or the other way around)
3. She could get 18 envelopes for 2 dollars each (or the other way around)
Answer is
2
gradient=change in y/change in X
(10--2)/(4--2)=2
