Answer:

The greatest number of groups Lavinia can set out is:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Lavinia has 9 glasses and 6 mugs .

We know that:

9=3×3

and 6=3×2

So, maximum 3 groups can be set out which contains 3 glasses and 2 mugs each

Hence,  the greatest number of groups Lavinia can set out is:

3

You must find the factors of each number...
9 = 1, 3, 3, 9
6 = 1, 2, 3, 6

Next, determine the common multiple...
9 = 1, 3, 3, 9
6 = 1, 2, 3, 6

Therefore, the most groups Lavinia can make without any glasses or mugs left to spare is 3.

A new highway was built outside of tri town to relieve traffic on Route 1. How many miles are saved by traveling on the new high
lana66690 [7]

By applying the Pythagorean Theorem, the number of miles saved is: 4 miles.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

If c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and the lengths of the two legs are a and b respectively, the Pythagorean Theorem states that, c = √(a² + b²).

The diagram showing the new highway is attached below.

The diagram represents a right triangle. SO, apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find how long it is to travel on the new highway from point A to B.

Thus:

AB is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

AB = √(AC² + BC²)

Plug in the values

AB = √(12² + 5²)

AB = 13 miles.

Moving from A to B without the highway = AC + BC = 12 + 5 = 17 miles.

Miles saved travelling on the new highway = 17 - 13 = 4 miles.

Therefore, by applying the Pythagorean Theorem, the number of miles saved is: 4 miles.

You need to form a 10-inch by 15-inch piece of tin into a box (with no top) by cutting a square from each corner and folding up
Goshia [24]
This sort of question is answered easily by a graphing calculator. The square cut from each corner should be 1.962 inches on each side.

_____
After creating a fold-up flap of x inches in width, the base of the box will be
  (10 - 2x) by (15 - 2x)
and the depth of the box will be the width of the fold-up flap: x.

Then the volume of the box is
  v = x(10 -2x)(15 -2x) = 150x -50x^2 +4x^3
The derivative of the volume will be zero at the maximum volume.
  0 = dv/dx = 150 -100x +12x^2
This has roots at
  x = (100 ±√(100² - 4(12)(150)))/(2·12)
  x = (100 ± √2800)/24 = (25 ± 5√7)/6
Only the smaller of these solutions gives a maximum volume.

You should cut (5/6)(5-√7) ≈ 1.962 inches to obtain the greatest volume.
