What is the GFC of 72 and 36

1 answer:

6 0

The GCF of 72 and 36 is: 36

List out the factors of each number (72 and 36), and find the common factors between the two numbers.

Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
Factors of 72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

Looking at the factors above, the common ones are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. But... considering we are looking for the "greatest" common factor, our highest number out of the listed ones is 36, making it the greatest common factor of 72 and 36.

if a 14 foot tree casts a 8 foot long shadow. how tall is a tree that casts a 4 foot long shadow?

7-foot

EXPLANAT

Given:

14 foot tree

8foot shadow

4foot shadow

Let h be the height of a tee that casts a 4 foot long shadow.

Using proportion;

14 foot = 8 ft shadow

h = 4 ft shadow

Cross - multiply

8h = 56

Divide both-side by 8

h = 7 foot.

Hence, the tree is 7-foot.

Gavin's dog had a litter of puppies. All of the puppies in this litter were either yellow or black. If there was one less black

mezya [45]

Answer:

Total number of puppies in the litter = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of yellow puppies in the litter = y

And the number of black puppies in the litter = b

If there was one less black puppy, ratio of yellow to black puppies = $\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{y}{b-1}=\frac{2}{3}$

2(b - 1) = 3y

3y - 2b = -2 -----(1)

If there was one more black puppy, ratio of yellow puppies to black puppies = $\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{y}{b+1}=\frac{1}{2}$

2y = b + 1

2y - b = 1 -------(2)

Equation (1) - 2× equation (2)

(3y - 2b) - 2(2y - b) = -2 - 2

3y - 4y - 2b + 2b = -4

y = 4

From equation (1),

3×4 - 2b = -2

12 - 2b = -2

-2b = -14

b = 7

Total number of puppies in the litter = 7 + 4 = 11

1. Adjacent angles are two angles in the same plane with a common

stepan [7]

Answer:

Adjacent angles are two angles in the same plane with a common VERTEX and a common SIDE but no common interior points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjacent angles share a common side on the same vertes, but they do not overlap each other.

In the attached image, ∠ABD is adjacent to ∠DBC, but ∠ABC is not adjacent to any of them.
