20 = 2 x 2 x 5
15 = 3 x 5
common divisor (CD) of 20 and 15 is 5 so n should be 5 and each group has 4 boys and 3 girls.
If there are more than one CD, then there are more than one answer.
If they ask for the largest number of groups, greatest common divisor (GCD) will be the answer.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let k represent Kim's age. Then Jack's age is k-5 and the total of their ages is ...
k + (k -5) = 21
2k = 26 . . . . . . . add 5, collect terms
k = 13 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2; Kim's age
k -5 = 8 . . . . . . . Jack's age
Kim is 13; Jack is 8.
Answer:3rd choice

Answer: Odds in favor = Number of successes: Number of failures
Step-by-step explanation:
Example
A jewelry box contains 5 white pearl, 2 gold rings and 6 silver rings. What are the odds of drawing a white pearl from the jewelry box?
Number of successes = 5
Number of failures = 2 + 6 = 8
Numbers of ways to draw a white pearl: number of ways to draw another jewelry.
5:8
The odds are 5:8
