Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1:
73 is a prime number. It can only be divided by 1 and by itself.
The GCF of the three numbers:
54 36 73
1×54 1×36 1×73
2×27 2×18
3×18 3×12
6×9 4×9
6×6
GCF of 54, 36 and 73 is 1
GCF of 54 and 36 is 18
If we divide 54 apples into 18 baskets, we have 3 apples in each basket
If we divide 36 oranges into 18 baskets, we have 2 oranges in each basket
If we divide 73 bananas into 18 baskets, we have 4 bananas in each basket + one banana left over.
So the greatest number of identical fruit baskets we can make with the least amount of fruit left over is 18 baskets
Answer:
7/2 but as a mixed number 3 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
In can be less mental effort if the equation is multiplied by -1 first.
.. x^2 -10x +8 = 0
.. x^2 -10x +25 +8 -25 = 0
.. (x -5)^2 = 17
.. x -5 = ±√17
.. x = 5 ±√17
The values of x that satisfy the given equation are
.. x = 5 -√17 ≈ 0.877
.. x = 5 +√17 ≈ 9.123
