<h2>Greatest number of shelves is 4.</h2><h2>Number of adventure book on each shelf is 4.</h2><h2>Number of mysteries book on each shelf is 8.</h2><h2>Number of biographies book on each shelf is 3.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Sally has 16 adventure books, 32 mysteries, and 12 biographies.

The greatest number dividing all the numbers are 4.

So number of shelves is 4.

\texttt{Number of adventure book on each shelf =}\frac{16}{4}=4\\\\\texttt{Number of mysteries book on each shelf =}\frac{32}{4}=8\\\\\texttt{Number of biographies book on each shelf =}\frac{12}{4}=3

Greatest number of shelves is 4.

Number of adventure book on each shelf is 4.

Number of mysteries book on each shelf is 8.

Number of biographies book on each shelf is 3.

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of shelves must be a factor of the number of books from each category. (Because you are using multiple shelves). You are looking for the greatest amount, so you need to greatest, common factor (GCF) from each bunch of books.

GCF of 12, 16, 32 is 4.

Sandra used partial products to find the product of 438 × 17 by multiplying 438 by 1 and 438 by 7 to get 3,066. Find the product
boyakko [2]

Let us determine the product of 438 and 17 by partial products.

Consider 438 = 400+30+8

and 17 = 10+7

So, 438 \times 17 = (400+30+8) \times (10+7)

438 \times 17 = (400\times 10)+(30 \times 10)+(8 \times 10) +(400 \times 7)+(30 \times 7)+(8 \times 7)

= 438 \times 17 = (4000+300+80+2800+210+56)

= 7446

Therefore, the product of 438 and 17 is 7446.

No, Sandra's answer is not correct.

Because she should have expressed 17 as (10+7), then if she multiplied (438 by 10) and (438 by 7). And, then added the results.Then her answer would be correct.
