This is a common factor problem.
Pencils come in a pack of 12
Erasers come in a pack of 10
First, break the number into their prime factors(the idea is that we will break the number down into its smallest multiples, which are prime numbers):
10 = 2 * 5
12 = 2 * 2 *3
So now we take the unique multiples of each number, and when we multiply them together, we will get the smallest number that both 10 and 12 can be divided into(this is what the problem is asking for)
We have (2*2*3) that comes from 12, and the only unique number that comes from the 10 is (5)
So now, we multiply:
2*2*3*5=60
However, this isn't exactly out answer. Now we have to divide our answer by the number of each this in the pack to know how many packs to buy.
60/12=5 packs of pencils
60/10= 6 packs of erasers
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions!!
Answer:
Length of the ladder used by worker = 17 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of the window from the ground = 13 ft
Distance of fence from the building = 3 ft
Distance of ladder from the building = (3+8) = 11 ft
We have to find the length of the ladder.
Let the length of the ladder be 'x'
From the diagram we can also say that 'x' is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.
Using Pythagoras formula:
⇒ 
Here base length = 11 ft
Perpendicular = 13 ft
Plugging the values:
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
feet
The length of the ladder = 17 feet to its nearest tenth.
Answer:
The probability of a successful event is the ratio of the number of successful events to the total number of events. In this case, a successful event is selecting a red marble from the box. The total number of events is the total number of marbles in the box:
Red marbles/Total number of marbles
4/12 divide
=1/3
