(3/5) * 65
3*(65/5)
3*13
39
19x-53 / x^2 + x + 2
You want to put a - ( 19 x / x^2 + x + 2 - 53/x^2 +x +2)
So 72 pencils and 24 calculators
so greates number of identical calculators
this means
what is the biggest number that we can divide 72 and 24 by and get a whole number
this is called the GCM or greatest common multipule
to find the GCM, you factor 72 and group the like ones
72=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 3
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3
so the common group is 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 or 24
so the greates number of packs is 24
so pencils
72 divided by 24=72/24=3
3 pencils per pack
24 divided by 24=24/24=1
1 calulator per pack
answer is 3 pencils and 1 calculator per pack
