Whole numbers are positive numbers without decimals. First, list all the whole number factors of 36:

1 and 36

2 and 18

3 and 12

4 and 9

6 and 6

Next, see which one of those pairs has the highest sum:

1+36=37

2+18=20

3+12=15

4+9=13

6+6=12

The greatest possible sum the numbers can have is 37.

Hope this helps!!

A small theater sold 72 tickets for a play. The ratio of adult tickets to child tickets was 4:1. The ratio of adult tickets to s

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Adult 36

Children 9

senior 27

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 types of tickets as seen from the question;

Adult, children and seniors tickets.

Now, looking at the question critically,

Since the ratio of adults to children and senior citizens stands at 4: a specific value, we can then conclude that the ratio of tickets sold is 4:1:3

where 1 and 3 represents the ratio for the children and seniors respectively

So let’s calculate the individual ratio now.

For the total, we have 4 + 1 + 3 = 8

Thus, for the adults, we have 4/8 * 72 = 36

For the children, we have 1/8 * 72 = 9

For the seniors, we have 3/8 * 72 = 27

suter [353]

Since the Power is directly proportional to the velocity, their ratio $\frac{P}{v^{3} }$ is constant.

<span>Therefore </span> $\frac{500}{ 10^{3} } = \frac{x}{ 12^{3} }$ which is a proportion:

500 : 1000 = x : 1728

that can be easily solved:

x = (500×1728)/1000 = 864kW
