Answer:

The maximum number of packages that can be made are 12 packages

The number of sheets of blue paper and white paper per package = 7 and 8 sheets respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of sheets of blue paper available to Mrs. Moore = 84 sheets

The number of sheets of white paper available to Mrs. Moore = 96 sheets

The number of blue paper in each package = The number of white paper in each package

Therefore, the maximum number of packages that can be made is given by the Highest Common Factor, HCF,  of 84 and 96 which is found as follows;

The prime factors of 84 = 2² × 3 × 7, from which we have;

Factors of 84 = 4 × 3 × 7 = 12 × 7

The prime factors of 96 = 2⁵ × 3, from which we have;

Factors of 96 = 4 × 8 × 3 = 12 × 8

∴ The HCF of 84 and 96 = 12

The maximum number of packages that can be made = Twelve packages

The number of sheets of blue paper in each package = Seven

The number of sheets of white paper in each package = Eight.

Jeff reads 5/7 of a book in 4 hours. At this rate, how much did he read in 1 hour? Please answer this correctly. Don't put a lin
leonid [27]

Answer:

Jeff read 5/28 of a book in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate given is 5/7 of a book read in 4 hours.

If the questions asks how much he read in 1 hour, it means the answer needed is a unit rate.

A unit rate is a rate per unit. In this case, a rate per hour.

Let’s find how much Jeff read in 1 hour:

5/7 in 4 hours is the rate given so:

5/7 ÷ 4

= 5/7 x 1/4

= 5/28 (already simplified/final answer)

SO, Jeff read 5/28 of the book in 1 hour.
