Mathematics

Answer: 24 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the amount of cups of peaches  that Fred will need to make 60 cups of  fruit salad.

According to the information given in the exercise, you know that the ratio of cups of peaches to cups of cherries is the one shown below:

2:3

Which can also be written as a fraction:

\frac{2}{3}

Then, if he uses 2 cups of peaches and 3 cups of cherries, he will get 5 cups of fruit salad.

Knowing the above, you can set up the following proportion:

\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{60}

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

(60)(\frac{2}{5})=x\\\\x=24

1. Find two numbers with a common factor of 3 only.
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

All numbers can be written as a product of the prime numbers that conform them.

A) Find two numbers with a common factor of 3 only.

for example:

2*3 = 6

7*3 = 21

Both numbers have the factor 3 in them, and because the other two numbers are primes, we can be sure that the 3 is the only common factor.

B) Write a pair of numbers with a common factor of 2, 3 and  6.

Here we can write:

2*3*2 = 12

3*2*5 = 30

Those two numbers have the common factors 6, 2 and 3.

C) Write a pair of numbers with common factors of 3, 6 and  9.​

3*2*3 = 18 (has the factors 2, 3, 3*2 = 6, 3*3 = 9)

-3*2*6 = -36

Both have the common factors 3, 6 and 9 (and they share more common factors like 2, this happens because 6 = 3*2, so if 6 is a common factor, 2 also must be)
