<u>Answer: </u>

The greatest common factor of 12 a^{3} b, 16 a^{2} b^{2}, 36 a b^{3} \text { is } 4 a b

<u>Solution: </u>

To find the greatest common factor we have to find the prime factors of individual numbers and then find the number which is common to each given number.

Here the numbers are 12 a^{3} b, 16 a^{2} b^{2}, 36 a b^{3}

Let us find out the prime factors of each number .

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Prime factors of } 12 a^{3} b=2 \times 2 \times 3 \times a \times a \times a \times b} \\ {\text { Prime factors of } 16 a^{2} b^{2}=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times a \times a \times a \times b \times b} \\ {\text { Prime factors of } 36 a b^{3}=2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times a \times b \times b \times b}\end{array}

We can see that 2 \times 2 \times \mathrm{a} \times \mathrm{b}  is common to all the given numbers 12 a^{3} b, 16 a^{2} b^{2}, 36 a b^{3}

Therefore the greatest common factor of 12 a^{3} b, 16 a^{2} b^{2}, 36 a b^{3} \text { is } 2 \times 2 \times a \times b=4 a b

There are 420 students. 63 students were out sick. What percent of the student population is ill?
emmainna [20.7K]
To find the percentage,here's what we can do:
\frac{student \: out \: sick}{original \: population} \times 100\%

The percentage would then be:
=63/420×100%
=3/20×100%
=0.15×100%
=15%

Therefore the answer is 15%.

Hope it helps!

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Option (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

Here there are two parallel lines c and d cuts by a transversal p.

The angles are formed as shown in diagram.

Here,

\angle 1 = \angle 7 (alternate)\\\\\angle 2 = \angle 6 (corresponding)\\\\\angle 3 = \angle 5 (alternate)\\\\\angle 5 = \angle 7 (alternate)

So, the option (B) is correct.
