X-2=27
is this a good equations
Jewelery maker has
24 jade beads
30 teak Beads
So we need to find the highest common factor for both 24 and 30
The factors for both numbers are
24 -1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24
30 - 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30
The highest common factor for both is 6
The greatest number of necklaces she can make is 6
Number of jade beads - 24/6 = 4 jade beads
Number of teak beads - 30/6 = 5 teak beads
So each necklace will have 4 jade beads and 5 teak beads
For every 9 kids 5 are girls
there are 3 sets of 9
so 5 x 3 = 15
there are 15 girls
if 60 beats = 1 minute, and a minute is 60 seconds then 1,000,000 beats has to be divided by 60 = 16667 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand and divide that by 1440 (How many seconds in a day) = 11.574 days.
That equates to 11days, 13hours, 46 min, and 40 sec
