Kurt says factors and multiples are

<u>Step-by-step Explanation:</u>

<em>Before heading towards the solution, you need to make sure how multiple and factors are related to each other.</em>

<em>The multiple of a number could be obtained by multiply it with another number. </em>

For example, the first five multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60

  • 1 X 12 = 12
  • 2 X 12 = 24
  • 3 X 12 = 36
  • 4 X 12 = 48
  • 5 X 12 = 60

<em>Factors are the numbers that are multiplied to get a given number.</em>

For example,

  • 1 X 12 = 12
  • 2 X 12 = 24
  • 3 X 12 = 36

The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.

As division and multiplication can be used to find factors and multiples.

For example a whole number is a multiple of its factors.

Let w = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20} be the set of even wholes numbers from 2 to 20.

As 2 is a factor of 20 because 20 ÷ 2 = 4

20 is a multiple of 2 because 2 X 10 = 20

So, in the same way, the equation 8 X 5 = 40 can be used to determine how factors and multiples are related.

Let the equation be

                                    8 X 5 = 40

8 is a factor of 40 because 8 X 5 = 40

40 is a multiple of 8 because 40 ÷ 5 = 8

<em>So, this is how factors and multiples are related to each other.</em>

There are two similar packages. The ratio of the volumes is 8:125. Determine the dimensions of the bigger package. The dimension
GREYUIT [131]

Step-by-step explanation:

since packages are similarsimilar packages. The ratio of the volumes is 8:125. Determine the dimensions of the bigger package. The dimensions of the smaller package are... Height= 45cm, Length= 80cm, and Width= 25cm.

Length of bigger package = <em><u>8</u></em><em><u>0</u></em><em><u>×</u></em><em><u>1</u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u>5</u></em><em><u>/</u></em><em><u>8</u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u>1</u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u>5</u></em><em><u>0</u></em><em><u>c</u></em><em><u>m</u></em>

Width of bigger package =<em><u>2</u></em><em><u>5</u></em><em><u>×</u></em><em><u>1</u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u>5</u></em><em><u>/</u></em><em><u>8</u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u>3</u></em><em><u>9</u></em><em><u>0</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>6</u></em><em><u>2</u></em><em><u>5</u></em><em><u>c</u></em><em><u>m</u></em>

The price of milk increased from $3.25 to $3.75. What is the percent of change for the price of milk to the nearest tenth? Show
nikitadnepr [17]
Percent = part/whole

It wants you to find the % of change so it's 3.25 / 3.75
And that comes out to be 0.86 (with the 6 repeating)
So you move the decimal over 2 places to find the percent.
And then it's 1 - Ans

The answer is 13.33%
