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

7) 2 1/3
8) 51
9) 5/6
10) 38
11) 40
12) The error is the negative sign because when finding absolute value the answer can never be zero since absolute value is the how far the thing is from zero, unless the negative sign is outside the absolute value lines.

The population of California is approximately 38,040,000. The population of Texas is about 2.606 × 107. What is the approximate

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The total population of these two states is:

$3.804\times \:\:10^7+2.606\times \:\:10^7\:=10^7\times \:\:6.41$

Therefore, option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of California is approximately 38,040,000.

The population of Texas is about 2.606 × 10⁷.

Writing the population of California i.e.38,040,000 in scientific notation by moving the decimal point 7 places to the left and dropping the 0's on the right side as they're after the decimal point now.

i.e.

38,040,000 = 3.804 x 10⁷

So adding 3.804 x 10⁷ and 2.606 × 10⁷

i.e.

$3.804\times \:10^7+2.606\times \:10^7$
