Answer:

4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that there are few numbers of friends.

Therefore, 28 inches of one sandwich has to be divided into equal few pieces and another 36 inches of the sandwich has to be divided into equal few pieces.

We have to calculate the greatest possible length of the pieces.

Therefore, the greatest length of each piece will be a common factor of 28 and 36.  

Now, we have 28 =2×2×7 and 36 =2×2×3×3. Hence, the greatest possible factor is 2×2 = 4.

Therefore, greatest possible length of each piece of the sandwich is 4 inches. (Answer)

Y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 12 when x = 5. What is the value of y when x = 8?
serious [3.7K]
When x = 8 y = 15

The way to figure this out is to subtract 12 by 5. That’s 7 so there’s a difference of 7 between both of the numbers.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

The rate of return is 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of return can be determined by,

RR = \frac{A_{f} - A_{i}  }{A_{i} } x 100%

where:

RR is the rate of return

A_f} is the final amount = $690 -  $6 = $684

A_{i} is the initial amount = $15 x 40 = $ 600

So that,

RR = \frac{684 - 600}{600} x 100%

     = 0.14 x 100%

     = 14%

Therefore, the rate of return is 14%.
