Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What this question is asking of you is what is the greatest common divisor of 12 and 15. Or, what is the biggest number that divides both 12 and 15.
in order to find this we have to split each number into it's prime components.
for 12 they are 2,2 and 3 (

⋅
2
⋅
3
=
12
)
and for 15 they are 3 and 5 (
3
⋅
5
=
15
)
Out of those two groups (2,2,3) and (3,5) the only thing in common is 3, so 3 is the greatest common divisor. That tells us that the greatest number of groups that can exist and have the same number of girls and the same number of boys for each group is 3.
Now to find out how many girls and boys there are going to be in each group we divide the totals by 3, so:
12
3
=
4
girls per group, and
15
3
=
5
boys per group.
(just as a thought exercise, if there were 16 boys, the divisors would have been (2,2,3) and (2,2,2,2), leaving us with 4 groups [

] of 3 girls [12/4] and 4 boys [16/4] )
Answer:
Reflection across the x-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
The only apparent transformation is negation of the y-coordinate, corresponding to reflection across the x-axis.

Answer:
y=1/2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the graph, all you need is the first point.
Y is at 4 and X is at 2. We can divide y/x to get 4/2=1/2x
4g+3(-3+4g)=1-g
Distribute the 3(-3+4g)
4g-9+12g=1-g
Add 4g and 12g
16g-9=1-1g
Add 1g and 16g (variables always have an invisible 1 in front)
17g-9=1
Add 9 and 1
17g=10
Divide both sides by 17 and the answer is g=10/17
