Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.
<u>a.</u>
As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find <u>GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72. </u>
First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

The common factors are: 2, 2 and 3
Thus the GCF 
So, the greatest possible length of the pieces without having any cloth left over will be 12 inches.
<u>b. </u>
For finding the number of pieces for each color cloth, we will just <u>divide the length of each cloth by 12</u>. So...
Number of pieces for blue cloth 
Number of pieces for gold cloth
and
Number of pieces for white cloth 
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+5)/2 = 3
x + 5 = 6
x = 1
(y+9)/2=6
y+9= 12
y = 3
(1, 3)
answer is option 4
Answer: 1 and 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine 3 1/3 as if it’s in parenthesis as (3 + 1/3)
Subtract three from five.
You should get two.
Then you subtract the last 1/3 from that two.
There are three thirds in one digit.
Therefore, two thirds are left over, plus that last whole digit.
You are left with one and one third.
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the 2/5 into a decimal and multiply 0.40×60 to give you 24
