The Art Club wants to paint a rectangle-shaped mural to celebrate the winners of the track and field meet. They design a checker

board background for the mural where they will write the winners’ names. The rectangle measures 432 inches in length and 360 inches in width. Apply Euclid’s algorithm to determine the side length of the largest square they can use to fill the checkerboard pattern completely without overlap or gaps.

Answer:

72 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Length of rectangle=423 inches

Width of rectangle=360 inches

We have to find the side length of the largest square they can use to fill the checkboard pattern completely without overlap or gaps with the help of Euclid's algorithm.

In order to find the largest side of square we will find HCF (432,360).

Euclid's algorithm

a=bq+r

a=dividend

b=divisor

q=quotient

r=remainder

a=432,b=360

432=360\times 1+72

360=72\times 5+0

HCF(432,360)=72

Hence, the side of largest square=72  inches

A)
Let x represent the cost of 1 student, and y the cost of 1 teacher.

B)
In the first group, there's 25 students and 2 teachers. Their total cost is $97.50
So 25x + 2y = 97.50
In the second group, there's 32 students and 3 teachers. Their total cost is $127
So 32x + 3y = 127

We get the following system of equations:
25x + 2y = 97.50 (1)
32x + 3y = 127 (2)

C)
25x + 2y = 97.50 (1)
32x + 3y = 127 (2)

In equation (1)
25x + 2y = 97.50
25x + 2y - 2y = 97.50 - 2y
25x = 97.50 - 2y
25x / 25 = 97.50/25 - 2y/25
x = 3.9 - (2/25)y

In equation (2), let's replace x by its algebraic value
32x + 3y = 127
32(-2/25y + 3.9) + 3y = 127
11/25y + 124.8 = 127
11/25y + 124.8 - 124.8 = 127 - 124.8
11/25y = 2.2
(11/25y) / (11/25) = 2.2 / (11/25)
y = 5

x = -2/25y + 3.9
x = -2/25 * 5 + 3.9
x = 3.5

So the cost of each student is $3.5, and the cost of each teacher is $5.

Hope this helps! :)

Kayla spent half of her weekly allowance on clothes. To earn more money her parents let her clean the oven for $4. What is her w
marysya [2.9K]
In this question, the first information that we get is that Kayla spent half of her weekly allowance in clothes. On cleaning the oven Kayla gets $4. Finally Kayla is left with $12.
Let us assume that the weekly allowance of Kayla = x
Amount of allowance saved after buying clothes = x/2
 Then we can go for the equation
x/2 + 4 = 12
x + (4 * 2) = 12 * 2
x + 8 = 24
x = 24 -8
   = 16
So we can now see that the weekly allowance of Kayla is $16
