So 72 pencils and 24 calculators
so greates number of identical calculators

this means
what is the biggest number that we can divide 72 and 24 by and get a whole number
this is called the GCM or greatest common multipule

to find the GCM, you factor 72 and group the like ones
72=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 3
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3
so the common group is 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 or 24
so the greates number of packs is 24

so pencils
72 divided by 24=72/24=3
3 pencils per pack

24 divided by 24=24/24=1
1 calulator per pack


answer is 3 pencils and 1 calculator per pack

3  pencils per box.

The GFC of 72 and 24 is 24. 72 divide by 24 is 3, 24 divided by 24 is 1.

Therefore, there are 3 pencils and 1 calculator each box. To answer your question, 3  pencils per box.

GUYS PLEASE HELP
Volgvan

Answer:

10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you can do 6 flyers each minute, the rate would go at 6x, with x being minutes. You initially did 80, so the equation for you would be y=6x+80.

Your friend's equation would be y=4x+100, because he initially had 100 done and is now getting 4 done per minute.

If you put the 2 equations in your calculator, the intersection will happen at x=10, showing that you and your friend will have an equal number of flyers at 10 minutes.

Dan draws a circle with a radius of 8 inches. Question 1 Part A: What is the circumference of Dan's circle, inches? If needed, r
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The circumference of Dan's circle is approximately 50.27 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the circumference (s), measured in inches, is determined by the formula:

s = 2\pi\cdot r (1)

Where r is the radius, measured in inches.

If we know that r = 8\,in, then the length of the circumference is:

s = 2\pi\cdot (8\,in)

s \approx 50.27\,in

The circumference of Dan's circle is approximately 50.27 inches.

5x - (x + 3)= 1/3 (9x + 18) - 5
telo118 [61]
1/3(9x) =3x
1/3(18) =6

3x+6-5

Then you do
-(x)=-x
-(3)=-3

5x-x-3 = 4x-3

4x-3=3x+6-5
4x-3=3x+1

x=4
