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 (

2

⋅

3

=

12

)

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 [

Step-by-step explanation:

Renee garden is triangular in shape . The area of the triangular garden is given as 24 ft² . The area of a triangle can be represented below.

Area of a triangle = 1/2bh

where

b = base

h = height

The drawing that represent Renee drawing is given below. The height is 8 ft and the base is 6 ft .

Using the formula

Area of a triangle = 1/2bh

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × 6 × 8

Area of a triangle = 48/2

Area of a triangle = 24 ft²
