Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What this question is asking of you is what is the greatest common divisor of 12 and 15. Or, what is the biggest number that divides both 12 and 15.

in order to find this we have to split each number into it's prime components.

for 12 they are 2,2 and 3 (

=

)

and for 15 they are 3 and 5 (

3

⋅

5

=

15

)

Out of those two groups (2,2,3) and (3,5) the only thing in common is 3, so 3 is the greatest common divisor. That tells us that the greatest number of groups that can exist and have the same number of girls and the same number of boys for each group is 3.

Now to find out how many girls and boys there are going to be in each group we divide the totals by 3, so:

12

3

=

4

girls per group, and

15

3

=

5

boys per group.

(just as a thought exercise, if there were 16 boys, the divisors would have been (2,2,3) and (2,2,2,2), leaving us with 4 groups [

Please help, I’m not sure what the answer is.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The answer is 'C'

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent simply means "the same." When a line divides two parralel lines transversals are created. This means that there are angles on both lines that are similar. To fully understand which angles would be the same, I reccommend researching "transversals" for more information, or asking your teacher about it as it is hard to explain without a proper diagram.

How many numbers are equal to the sum of two odd, one-digit numbers?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Seven numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the numbers, which are equal to the sum of two odd number and it has to be single digit number.

Lets look into numbers which are odd and single digit.

1 = 1+3, 1+5, 1+7, 1+9

∴ Sum of the number is 4,6,8\ and\ 10

3 = 3+5, 3+7, 3+9

∴ Sum of above number is 8,10\ and\ 12

5 = 5+7, 5+9

∴ Sum of above number is 12\ and\ 14

7= 7+9

∴ Sum of above number is 16

Now, accumlating numbers which are fullfiling the criteria, however, making sure no number should get repeated.

∴ Numbers are: 4,6,8,10,12,14\ and\ 16

Hence, there are total 7 numbers, which  are equal to the sum of two odd, one-digit numbers.
