9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

90 = 18·5

126 = 18·7

180 = 18·10

990 = 18·55

The greatest common factor of these numbers is 18.

<em>Comment on the GCF</em>

It can be useful to know Euclid's algorithm for finding the GCF:

Determine the remainder from dividing the larger number by the smaller.
If the remainder is zero, the smaller number is the GCF. If the remainder is non-zero, use it to replace the larger number and repeat from step 1.

For example, 126 mod 90 = 36; 90 mod 36 = 18; 36 mod 18 = 0, so 18 is the GCF of 126 and 90. (The modulo function 'mod' returns the remainder from division.)

The number of walls, w, that Joe can paint in t hours is given by the equation w=32t−1. Answer the questions below.

klio [65]

We have been given an equation $w=\frac{3}{2}t-1$ that represents umber of walls, w, that Joe can paint in t hours. We are asked to find the number of hours it will take Joe yo paint 7 walls.

To solve our given problem, we will substitute $w=7$ in our given equation as:

$7=\frac{3}{2}t-1$

Let us solve for t.

$7+1=\frac{3}{2}t-1+1$

$8=\frac{3}{2}t$

$8\cdot\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{3}{2}t$

$\frac{8\cdot2}{3}=t$

$\frac{16}{3}=t$

Therefore, it will take $\frac{16}{3}$ hours Joe to paint 7 walls.

Can someone explain to me or help me get an intuition for why phi = 2 * theta in this case? Why is this property always true?

Alenkasestr [34]

This is obtuse ?

let phi = 135

2theta = 180 -135 = 45

theta = 22.5

phi != 2 * 22.5 != 45

Did you mean ?

phi = 180 - 2theta

Can you provide more explanation ?
