He will use 33 containers because 9 goes into 296 32.8 times but you cant have .8 of a container so you round it up to 33
Given:
1 set requires 4 couples 8 dancers.
Total number of people at a square dance = 250.
To find:
The greatest number of sets possible at the dance.
Solution:
We have,
Total people = 250
1 set = 8 people.
Number of possible sets cannot be a decimal or fraction value. So, approx. the value to the preceding integer.
Therefore, the number of possible sets at the dance is 31.
The total cost would be 200
A greatest common factor is the largest number that goes into two or more numbers (in this case two). To find the GCF of two numbers, we have to find the prime factorization (how to express a number as a product of prime numbers) and then see which numbers are common in both of the prime factorizations.
13. The prime factorization of 8 is 2 * 2 * 2. The prime factorization of 26 is 2 * 13. Looking at the prime factorizations, we can see that both of them have 2. That means that the GCF is 1 * 2 which is 2.
12. The prime factorization of 105 is 3 * 5 * 7. The prime factorization of -30 is -5 * 6. We see that the number shared 5. That means that the GCF is 5 * 1 or 5.
