1 answer:

3 0

The greatest common multiple the the largest integer that can go into two other integers.
For example.
60 and 75. A common multiple would be five since it can got into both evenly. However, the largest common multiple would be 15, because it is the largest whole number that can go into 60 and 75.
Just in case, an integer is a whole number. No decimals.

The ratio of white marbles to blue marbles in Olivia's bag is 2 to 5. If there are more than 50 marbles in the bag, what is the

maksim [4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

the distributing ratio is 2:5.

that means for every 2 white marbles there must be 5 blue marbles.

so, we are taking about "groups" or multiples of 7 (2+5 = 7).

now, even 7×7 = 49 is too small.

but the next multiple of 7 (7×8 = 56) is now big enough to include at least 50 marbles.

so, in order to keep the 2:5 ratio strictly in place, the minimum number of marbles in the bag is 56.
