The greatest number of flower arrangements she can make is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

GCF is the greatest common factor of two numbers

Ex: Find the greatest common factor of 12 and 18

  • Factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
  • Factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
  • The common factors of 12 and 18 are 1, 2, 3 and 6
  • The greatest one is 3, then GCF of 12 and 18 is 6

We will use GCF to solve the problem

∵ Tori is making flower arrangements

∵ She has 12 roses and 20 daisies

∵ Tori wants to make all the arrangements identical and have

   no flowers left over

- That means the number of arrangements will be the GCF of 12

   and 20

∵ The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

∵ The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

∴ The common factors of 12 and 20 are 1, 2, 4

∵ The greatest one of them is 4

∴ GCF of 12 and 20 is 4

- That means she can make 4 flower arrangements

∵ 12 ÷ 4 = 3

∴ The number of roses in each arrangement is 3

∵ 20 ÷ 4 = 5

∴ The number of daisies in each arrangement is 5

∴ She can make 4 flower arrangements of 3 roses and 5 daisies

The greatest number of flower arrangements she can make is 4

What is the area of the figure?
nirvana33 [79]

We can break it into two parts.

-> First, the rectangle on the bottom is made up of 2 feet x 16 feet. The formula for area of a rectangle is length times width, so in this case it is equal to 32 feet

-> Next, the triangle has sides of 10 feet, 10 feet, and 16 feet. We can calculate that the height is 6. The formula for area of a triangle is base times height divided by two, so, \frac{16*6}{2}= \frac{96}{2} = 48 feet

-> Last, we can add the two totals together. 32 feet + 48 feet = 80 feet giving us our final answer of 80 feet². As this answer is not pictured I am going to assume they are not including Heron's formula or other more complex formulas, leading us to the answer of "can't be determined"

Answer:

O can't be determined

Have a nice day! - <em>Note: It depends on the level of your math class for whether the answer "cannot be determined" is correct as it can be determined, just takes more effort than simple one - two-step formulas.</em>

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

     ★ Also please leave the rating you think I deserve (It helps other users as well as myself)
