Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation: To find the greatest common factor or GCF of 8 and 18, we begin by finding all of the factors of each number.

To find the factors of 8, we know that 8 ÷ 1 is 8 so 1 and 8 are factors.

8 ÷ 2 is 4 so 2 and 4 are factors.

However, if we continue to divide 8 by 3, 4, 5, and so on, we won't find any new factors. So the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.

Now let's find the factors of 18.

18 ÷ 1 is 18 so 1 and 18 are factors.

18 ÷ 2 is 9 so 2 and 9 are factors.

18 ÷ 3 is 6 so 3 and 6 are factors.

However, if we continue to divide by 4, 5, 6, and so on, we won't find any new factors. So the factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.

Now that we have our list of factors, to find the greatest common factor, we simply find the largest number that is shared by the two lists.

Notice that our lists share a 1 but the largest number they share is a <em>2</em><em>.</em>

<em />

So the greatest common factor or <em>gcf</em> of 8 and 18 is 2.

lesya [120]

Answer:

  • C. 0.7 yd³

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Find the volume of cylinder:</u>

  • V = πr²h

<u>Convert the dimensions into yards:</u>

  • d = 24 inches = 24/36 yards = 2/3 yards ⇒ r = 1/2d = 1/2*2/3 = 1/3 yards
  • h = 6 feet = 6/3 yards = 2 yards

<u>Find the volume by substituting the values:</u>

  • V = 3.14*(1/3)²*2 = 0.69777 ≈ 0.7 yd³

Correct choice is C
