Answer:
- 31 pencils
- 38 erasers
- 44 sharpeners
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of packets is the greatest common divisor of the given numbers of pencils, erasers, and sharpeners.
It can be helpful to look at the differences between these numbers:
748 -646 = 102
646 -527 = 119
The difference of these differences is 17, suggesting that will be the number of packets possible.
527 = 17 × 31
646 = 17 × 38
748 = 17 × 44
The numbers 31, 38, and 44 are relatively prime (31 is actually prime), so there can be no greater number of packets than 17.
There will be 31 pencils, 38 erasers, and 44 sharpeners in each of the 17 packets.
_____
We may have worked the wrong problem. The way it is worded, the <em>maximum</em> number of items in each packet will be 527 pencils, 646 erasers, and 748 sharpeners in one (1) packet. The <em>minimum</em> number of items in each packet will be the number that corresponds to the maximum number of packets. Since 17 is the maximum number of packets, each packet's contents are as described above.
17 is the only common factor of the given numbers, so will be the number of groups (plural) into which the items can be arranged.
Answer
Find out the how many women were there .
To prove
Let us assume that the x is the scalar multiple of men and women.
As given
The ratio of men to women was 3 : 2.
Than
The total number of men = 3x
The total number of women = 2x
As given
If 120 men used the gym.
thus
120 = 3x

x = 40
The total number of women = 2 × 40
= 80
Therefore 80 women were there in the gym .
= -30a^5b + 12a^4b^3 + 6a^3b^2 + 10a^3b^2 - 4a^2b^4 - 2ab^3
= -30a^5b + 12a^4b^3 + 16a^3b^2 - 4a^2b^4 - 2ab^3
answer
B. -30a^5b + 12a^4b^3 + 16a^3b^2 - 4a^2b^4 - 2ab^3
Well, we can find the answer by multiplying the two fractions. 3/4*1/8 equals 3/32.
Answer: There are 152 apples.
The explanation is shown below:
- You need to write the following three equations, where
is the the number of apples,
is the number of pears and
is the number of oranges:
1) 
2) 
3) 
- You must substitute the equation 3) into the equation 2):

- Now, you need to solve for
in the equation 1) and then you must substitute it into
:


- Solve for
, as following:

- Therefore, there are 152 apples.
