Zubin has two pieces of string. One piece is 36 inches long and the other is 48 inches long. He wants to cut them into equal pie
ces that are as long as possible. Into what lengths should he cut the strings?
1 answer:
Answer:
12 pieces each:


Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-- first string
--- second string
Required
Determine the number of equal pieces
To do this, we first calculate the HCF of the length of both pieces 



The HCF is:


<em>Hence, he can cut both strings to 12 pieces each</em>
<em></em>
<em>Recall that </em>
<em>The first string can then be cut in to 3 inches each (i.e. 36/12)</em>
<em>The first string can then be cut in to 4 inches each (i.e. 48/12)</em>

Answer:
1/y -84
Step-by-step explanation:
7y/12-84
simplify= 1/y-84
So 5^2 -4^2 is 25-16 which is 9
6^2/9 is 36/9 which is 4 +9 is 13
13(13) is 169
