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)

erastova [34]

Answer:

<em>(1/6)(-10x - 4) = -4 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/6)(-3x - 24) = -4

=> -3x - 24 = -4 x 6

=> -3x - 24 = -24

=> -3x = 24 - 24

=> -3x = 0

=> x = 0 (not 2) => Incorrect option

(1/6)(-5x - 8) = -4

=> -5x - 8 = -4 x 6

=> -5x - 8 = -24

=> -5x = 8 - 24

=> -5x = -16

=> x = 16/5 (not 2) => Incorrect option

(1/6)(-10x - 4) = -4

=> -10x - 4 = -4 x 6

=> -10x - 4 = -24

=> -10x = 4 - 24

=> -10x = -20

=> x = 2 => Correct option

(1/6)(-12x - 16) = -4

=> -12x - 16 = -4 x 6

=> -12x - 16 = -24

=> -12x = 16 - 24

=> -12x = 8

=> x = -3/4 (not 2) => Incorrect option

=> Option C is correct

Hope this helps!

How much more would $8,000 earn in four years compounded daily at 5% than compounded annually at 5%?
QveST [7]

Answer:

Given the statement:

8,000 earn in four years compounded daily at 5%

To find the amount we use formula:

A = P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

where P is the principal , A is the amount , n is number of times compounded per year and t is the time in year.

Here, Principal(P) = $8000, r = 5% and n = 365

Substitute these given values we get;

A_1= 8000(1+\frac{5}{365})^{365 \cdot 4}

A_1= 8000 \cdot 1.000137^{1460}

A_1= 8000 \cdot 1.22141

Simplify:

A_1= \$9771.28

To find the Interest we use formula:

I_1= A_1-P

I_1= 9771.28 -8000 = \$1771.28

It is also given that:

8,000 earn in four years compounded annually at 5%.

Here, P = $8000, r = 5% , t =4 year and n = 1

Using the same formula to calculate the amount:

A_2 = 8000(1+\frac{5}{1})^{1 \cdot 4}

A_2= 8000(1.05)^4

Simplify:

A_2= \$9724.05

To find the Interest :

I_2= A_2 - P

I_2= 9724.05 - 8000= \$1724.05

Then;

I_1-I_2 = 1771.28-1724.05 = \$47.23

Therefore, $47.23 more would  $8,000 earn in four years compounded daily at 5% than compounded annually at 5%

Simplify. left parenthesis negative 8 right parenthesis squared
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The solution of (-8)^{2} is 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Mathematics when two negative numbers are multiplied the result is a positive number, i.e. -a\times-b=ab.

The expression to be solved is: (-8)^{2}

Solve the above expression as follows:

(-8)^{2}=(-8)\times (-8)=64

Thus, the solution of (-8)^{2} is 64.
