Answer:
a) The greatest number that divides 36, 45, and 63 without leaving a remainder is 9
b) The greatest number which exactly divides 90, 120, and 150 is 30
c) The greatest capacity of the bucket is 10 liters
d) The greatest number of people to whom the items can be distributed equally is 40 people
ii) 2 kg of wheat flour, 3 kg of corn and 4 kg of rice
e) The greatest number of children to whom the 48 orange, 80 bananas, and 144 apples can be distributed equally is 16
ii) 3 oranges, 5 bananas and 9 apples each
f) 5 mangoes at a time from the basket containing 120 mangoes
7 mangoes at a time from the basket containing 168 mangoes
g) The greatest length of each squared marble is 2 m
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The greatest number that divides 36, 45, and 63 without leaving a remainder = The highest common factor of 36, 45, and 63, which is given as follows;
36 = 9 × 4
45 = 9 × 5
63 = 9 × 7
Therefore, The greatest number that divides 36, 45, and 63 without leaving a remainder = The highest common factor of 36, 45, and 63 = 9
b) 90 = 30 × 3
120 = 30 × 4
150 = 30 × 5
The greatest number which exactly divides 90, 120, and 150 is 30
c) The factors of the volumes are;
50 l = 10 × 5 l
60 l = 10 × 6 l
70 l = 10 × 7 l
Therefore, the greatest capacity of the bucket = 10 liters
d) The masses of the items are
The factors of 80 = 40 × 2
120 = 40 × 3
160 = 40 × 4
Therefore the items can be distributed equally to 40 people
ii) Each person gets 2 kg of wheat flour, 3 kg of corn and 4 kg of rice
e) 48 = 16 × 3
80 = 16 × 5
144 = 16 × 9
Therefore, the greatest number of children = 16
ii) Each child gets 3 oranges, 5 bananas and 9 apples
f) The factors of 120 = 24 × 5
168 = 24 × 7
Therefore;
The greatest number of mangoes which is to be taken out of the basket with 120 mangoes = 5 mangoes each (24 times)
The greatest number of mangoes which is to be taken out of the basket with 168 mangoes = 7 mangoes each (24 times)
g) The area of the floor = 12 m × 10 m = 120 m²
The factor of 120 m² which is a perfect square is 4 therefore, we have;
The side length of each squared marble, s = √4 = 2
The side length of each squared marble, s = 2 m
