Answer:

The music director can make 15 groups of performers with 6 sixth grade students and 5 seventh grade students in each group.

Step-by-step explanation:

A school chorus has 90 sixth-grade students and 75 seventh-grade students.

Factor these two numbers:

90=2\cdot 45=2\cdot 3\cdot 15=2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 5\\ \\75=3\cdot 25=3\cdot 5\cdot 5

Find GCF(90,75):

GCF(90,75)=3\cdot 5=15

Now,

90=15\cdot 6\\ \\75=15\cdot 5

Therefore, the music director can make 15 groups of performers with 6 sixth grade students and 5 seventh grade students in each group.

Multiply 3/sqrt17- sqrt2 by which fraction will produce an equivalent fraction with rational denominator
zzz [600]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify something that looks like \frac{\text{whatever}}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}} you would multiply the top and bottom by the conjugate of the bottom. So you multiply the top and bottom for this problem I just made by:

\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}.

If you had  \frac{\text{whatever}}{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}}, then you would multiply top and bottom the conjugate of \sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b} which is \sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}.

The conjugate of a+b is a-b.

These have a term for it because when you multiply them something special happens.  The middle terms cancel so you only have to really multiply the first terms and the last terms.

Let's see:

(a+b)(a-b)

I'm going to use foil:

First:  a(a)=a^2

Outer: a(-b)=-ab

Inner:  b(a)=ab

Last:    b(-b)=-b^2

--------------------------Adding.

a^2-b^2

See -ab+ab canceled so all you had to do was the "first" and "last" of foil.

This would get rid of square roots if a and b had them because they are being squared.

Anyways the conjugate of \sqrt{17}-\sqrt{2} is

\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}.

This is the thing we are multiplying and top and bottom.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Pual needs 3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The dimensions of the four walls are:

   25 × 8 , 30 × 8 , 25 × 8 , 30 × 8

∴ The area of painting = 2(25 × 8) + 2(30 × 8)

                                     = 400 + 480 = 880 square feet

∵ each gallon paint 400 square feet

∴ The number of gallons = 880/400 = 2.2, so he needs 3 gallons
