Sample Response: A prime factorization is the product of the prime numbers that multiply to give the original number. 48 will have a prime factorization of 2(2)(2)(2)(3), or 24(3), regardless of the initial factors.

If we start with 6 and 8, we can break 6 up into 2*3 and 8 into 2*2*2, thus getting a prime factorization of 2*2*2*2*3, or 2^4 *3.

If we begin with 4 and 12, 4 breaks into 2*2 and 12 into 2*2*3, so the prime factorization of 48 is still 2^4 *3.

The starting factors do not matter, since the answer comes out to be the same. There is exactly one correct answer- it doesn't matter how it's found.

Hope this helps! :)

A garden table and a bench cost $781 combined. The garden table costs $69 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

$425

Step-by-step explanation:

x = bench

x - 69 = garden table

x + (x - 69)=781

x + x - 69 =781

2x - 69 = 781

2x -69 +69 = 781 + 69

2x = 850

2x/2 = 850/2

x = 425

Bench = 425

If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length g?
Sophie [7]
So if the shapes are similar, they have to have a number multiple from to get the other triangle. If you divide 63 by 42, you get 1.5. Then you have to divide 54 by 1.5 to get G and that would be 36.
