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.

What is the slope of this skateboard ramp if it rises 1.2 meters above the ground and runs 4 meters horizontally at the base?
Nesterboy [21]
By definition, the slope is the inclination of a line in relation to the horizontal. It can be expressed in degrees, ratios and even in percent. Therefore, you can calculate it by applying the following formula:
 
 P%=(H/L)x100
 
 P% is the slope expressed in percent.
 H is the height (H=1.2 meters).
 L is the length (L=4 meters).
 
 When you substitute these values into the formula P%=(H/L)x100, you obtain the slope of the skateboard ramp:
 
 P%=(H/L)x100
 P%=(1.2 meter/4 meters)x100
 P%=0.30x100
 P%=30%

A line that includes the point (2,10) has a slope of 9. What is its equation in slope-intercept form
Bumek [7]

Equation: y= 9x+ (y-intercept)

Step-by-step explanation:

equation in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. <em>m</em> represents the slope of the line, and <em>b</em> represents the y=intercept, which is where the line crosses the y-axis.
