Answer:

12 students

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Below numbers are divisible by the number of students:</u>

28 - 4 = 24
39 - 3 = 36

<u>Lets find GCF of 24 and 36:</u>

24 = 2*2*2*3
36 = 2*2*3*3
GCF(24,36) = 2*2*3 = 12

The largest possible number of students is 12

Answer:

12x=10(25+x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim's rate=x

Pete's rate=y

Jim and Pete lays the same number of tiles.

So we have,

12x=10y

Pete's can lay 25 more tiles than Jim per hour

We have

y=25+x

Substitute y=25+x into 12x=10y

12x=10y

12x=10(25+x)

12x=250+10x

12x-10x=250

2x=250

x=250/2

=125

x=125

12x=10(25+x) is the equation used to find the rate that Jim can lay tiles

Let's rewrite the mixed number as a fractions:

$\begin{gathered} 3\frac{2}{3}=\frac{11}{3} \\ 4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9}{2} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the total length will be:

$3\cdot(\frac{11}{3})+2(\frac{9}{2})+4=24ft$

The length of the red line segment is 8 and the length of the blue line segment is 4. How long is the major axis of the eclipse?

liraira [26]

The major axis of the eclipse is 12 units long

The given parameters can be represented as:

$Red = 8$

$Blue = 4$

See attachment for illustration

To solve this question, we make use of the following theorem

The distance between a point and the foci sums up to the major axis

This translates to:

$Major\ axis = Red + Blue$

$Major\ axis = 8 + 4$

$Major\ axis = 12$
