To find the GCF of the two terms, continuous division must be done.
What can be used to divide both terms such that there is not a remainder?
Start small, let's take 2. It could be a GCF.
Move up higher, say 3. Yes, it can be a GCF.
To see if there might be a greater common factor, divide the constants by 3.
48/3 = 16
81/3 = 27
Upon inspection and contemplation, there is no more common factor between 16 and 27. So, 3 is the GCF.
Moving on, when it comes to variables. The variable with the least exponents is easily the GCF. For the variable m, the GCF is m2 and for n, the GCF is n.
Combining the three, we have the overall GCF = 3m2n
Answer:
answer is 60
Step-by-step explanation:
180-(64+56)=180-120=60
Let the distance of Jill form the base of the tower be x, then tan 40 = 100/x
x = 100/tan 40 = 100/0.8391 = 119.18 meters
Let the height of the tower from the level of the top of Jill's apartment be y, then tan 30 = y/119.18
y = 119.18 x tan 30 = 68.8 meters
Therefore, the height of Jill's apartment is 100 - 68.8 = 31.2 meters
In order to compare you must multiply the the bottom two by each other and then multiply the top one by the same number you multiplied the bottom one by. The answer is not equal because the first fraction is 6/15 and the second is 5/12.
