Answer:

The greatest possible number of boxes that is needed to pack the items with no leftovers is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of rice bags = 72

Number of blankets =48

Number of water cases = 24

To Find :

The greatest possible number of boxes that the items can be packed into so that there are no leftover = ?

Solution:

we can find the greatest possible number of boxes that is required by finding the HCF(Highest common factor) of(24,48,72)

Finding the HCF (Highest common factor):

The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The factors of 48 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

The factors of 72 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

24 is the greatest common factor

Hence 24 will the number boxes required

Lola takes the train from Paris to Nice. The distance between the two cities is about 920,000 meters. If the train travels at a
Vlada [557]

First, you need to convert 920,000 meters to kilometers because the speed of the train is kilometer per hour, 920,000 meters is equal to 920 kilometers. Then, all you need to do left is take 920 (the distance from Paris to Nice in kilometer) and divide it by 230 (the speed of the train), so you will get 4. So you should write the answer like this: "The total time that took Lola to get from Paris to Nice is 4 hours."Hope this help you.

At a drive through restaurant Juan’s family ordered a small drink and m medium drinks. Alex’s family ordered m medium drinks and
sertanlavr [38]

<u>Answer: </u>

Expression x + 2my + z represents cost of order where x, y, z are cost of small , medium and large drinks (in dollars) respectively.

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that  

Juan’s family ordered a small drink and m medium drinks.

Alex family ordered m medium drinks and a large drink.

Need to write an algebraic expression which shows total cost of both order in dollars.

Let’s assume cost of one small drink = x

And assume cost of one medium drink = y

And assume cost of one large drink = z

So now cost of order of Juan’s family is equal to cost of 1 small drink + cost of m medium drinks = 1 \times x + m \times y

= x + my

And cost of order of Alex family is equal to cost of m medium drinks + cost of one large drink

= m x y + 1 x z

=my + z

So total cost of both order in dollars = x + my + my + z = x + 2my + z

Hence expression x + 2my + z represents cost of order where x , y , z are cost of small , medium and large drinks (in dollars) respectively.
