Answer:

  3.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The straight line distance from the school to the mall is found using the Pythagorean theorem. That distance is the hypotenuse of a triangle that is 27 blocks in the east-west direction and 22 blocks in the north-south direction.

  d = √(27^2 +22^2) = √1213 ≈ 34.83 . . . blocks

Since each block is 0.1 miles, the distance in miles is ...

  distance to mall = (0.1 miles/block)(34.83 blocks) = 3.483 miles

Rounded to tenths, the distance from school to mall is 3.5 miles.

Find the largest number which divides 224,250 and 302 and leaves remainder 3 in each case.
Bad White [126]
To have a remainder 3, we take away 3 from each number first.

<u>Take away 3:</u>
224 - 3 = 221
250 - 3 = 247
302 - 3 = 299

<u>Prime factorisation of each of the numbers:</u>
221 = <span>13 x 17
247 = 13 x 19 
299 = 13 x 23

<u>Find HCF:</u>
HCF = 13

Answer: The largest number that can be divided is 13.</span>
