Answer:N
Step-by-step explanation:
So we factor 12
remember that (-) times (-)=(+)
and
(-)+(-)=(-) so therefor the factors must be negative
factor 12
2,2,3
we have
-2 times -6 which adds to -8
-3 times -4 wihch adds to -7
the numbers are -3 and -4
Use rates, so 8 garden hoses over 18 hours
then find the how many hours one garden house can fill up by doing this = 18/8 you divide the 8 for both sides which is about 2.25/1
so then you times 9 which is about 20/9 hoses
your answer is 20
