First we think of a 3 digit dividend for example 100.
Next we think of a divisor between 10 and 29 for example 20.
We divide 100÷20=5
Here's a division problem:
Sophia has 100 pencils. She has 20 boxes with the same number of pencils in them. How many pencils does Sophia put her box?
Divide 100 by 20 which equals 5
Your answer is 5
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!!
Represent what you have to be more specific
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
12x + 5 = 4x + 37, first subtract both sides by 5 and subtract both sides by 4x
8x = 32, next divide 8 from both sides
x = 4
