Answer:

At least 3 bags will be required to pack the fruit in equal amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of apples she buys =15

Number of oranges she buys = 18

Number of mangoes she buys = 21

we need to find the least possible number of bags used.

Solution:

To find the least possible number of bags required we will find the prime common factor.

Multiples of 15 = 3\times 5

Multiples of 18 = 3\times 3\times 2

Multiples of 21 = 3\times 7

so we can say that;

Highest common prime factor in all three numbers is 3.

Hence At least 3 bags will be required to pack the fruit in equal amount.

An ellipse is represented by the equation <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%28y-3%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7B169%20%7D%20%2

Answer:

  C.  horizontal line that is 33.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your equation should be ...

  \dfrac{(y-3)^2}{169}+\dfrac{(x+6)^2}{144}=1

The largest denominator in this standard-form equation of an ellipse is under the y-term, so the major axis is vertical. The directrix will be a horizontal line.

The distance from the center to the directrix is always longer than the semi-major axis, so will be more than √169 = 13. This only leaves choice C.

__

If "c" is the center-to-focus distance, it will be the root of the difference of the denominators in the equation:

  c = √(169 -144) = 5

For semi-major axis "a", the distance from the center to the directrix is ...

  a²/c = (13²)/5 = 33.8 . . . . . matches choice C

Steps included or some steps, thank you!
horrorfan [7]

Answer: x = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember:

\sqrt{a}=b\\\\a=b^2

-----------------

\frac{\sqrt{4x + 19} }{2} = 2\\\\\sqrt{4x + 19} = 4\\\\(4x+19)=4^2\\\\4x +19 = 16\\\\4x=16-19\\\\4x = -3\\\\x =\frac{-3}{4}

En una granja hay 26 corrales con una capacidad para 68 gallinas cada uno. Sí cada gallina pone un huevo cada día ¿cuántos huevo
Scrat [10]

Answer:

12376 huevos

Step-by-step explanation:

Son 68 gallinas en 26 corrales por tanta se multiplicaría

26 x 68=1768 estas serian el total de las gallinas en todos los corrales, aparte te dicen que cada pone un huevo al día, entonces como te piden cuantos huevos serán en 7 días sería:

1768 x 7= 12376

1768= a los huevos de cada gallina en un día ya que te dice que cada una pone un huevo en cada día.
