Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First prime factorize each number; this means breaking up the number into the product of only prime numbers.

24 = $2^3*3$

36 = $2^2*3^2$

72 = $2^3*3^2$

Looking at these three numbers, we see that the biggest number they share is of the form: $2^2*3$ , where is just 12.

Thus, the answer is B.

Hope this helps!

Answer:B

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the GCF by seeing if the number is divisible so for 9 24/9 isn’t a integer so no for 12 24 36 and 72 are divisible so it maybe the answer for 24 36/24 isnt a integer for 18 24/18 isn’t a integer

PLEASE HELP MEE! the table below shows y, the average speed of a cyclist in miles per hour, and x, the time in hours that it tak

Alla [95]

By definition it is known that speed equals the distance between time.
Therefore, according to the definition, the last two options are the possible answers:
Let's evaluate the third option:
y = (3/2) * (1 / x)
x = 12
y = (3/2) * (1/12) = 3/24 = 1/8
The table is not fulfilled
Let's evaluate the fourth option:
y = (96 / x)
x = 12
y = (96/12) = 8
Yes, the table is met.
answer:
y = (96 / x)

Triangle PQR has vertices P(–2, 6), Q(–8, 4), and R(1, –2). It is translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x – 2, y – 16). Wha

Rudik [331]

The point P has coordinates (x,y) = (-2,6) so x = -2 and y = 6

Replace x and y with those values into the rule given
So,
(x,y) ---> (x-2, y-16)
turns into
(-2,6) ---> (-2-2, 6-16) = (-4,-10)

P = (-2,6)
P ' = (-4,-10)

The answer is -10 because your teacher just wants the y coordinate of point P'

9. A rectangle has a length 2 ft less than three times its width. What is the area of the rectangle when its

Burka [1]

Answer:

Area = 8 square ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length × width

suppose length = x

width = y

Here it is given that x = 3 y - 2

width is given as y = 2 ft

∴ x = 3 × 2 -2

x = 6 -2

x = 4

Area of rectangle = length × width

A = 4 × 2

= 8 square ft

In high school, some students have been confused to believe that 22/7 is already the actual value of π or an acceptable approxim

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Since it has smaller absolute and relative errors, 355/113 is a better aproximation for $\pi$ than 22/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the absolute error is:

Absolute error = |Actual Value - Measured Value|

The formula for the relative error is:

Relative error = |Absolute error/Actual value|

I am going to consider the actual value of $\pi$ as 3.14159265359.

In the case of 22/7:

22/7 = 3.14285714286.

Absolute error = |3.14159265359 - 3.14285714286| = 0.00126448927

Relative error = 0.00126448927/3.14159265359 = 0.00040249943 = 0.04%

In the case of 355/113

355/113 = 3.14159292035

Absolute error = |3.14159265359 - 3.14159292035| = 0.00000026676

Relative error = 0.00000026676/3.14159265359 = 0.000000085 = 0.0000085%

Since it has smaller absolute and relative errors, 355/113 is a better aproximation for $\pi$ than 22/7
