Answer:

a) 6 bags

b)

4 lollipops per bag

2 candy bars per bag

7 pieces of gum per bag

Step-by-step explanation:

She wants each bag to have the same number of each kind of candy.

a) What is the greatest number if bags she can make if all the candy is being used?

We solve the above question using Greatest Common Factor method

The first step would be to find the factors of 12, 24 and 42

The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The factors of 42 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42

Then the greatest common factor is 6.

Therefore, the greatest number of bags she can make if all the candy is being used is 6 bags.

b) How many pieces of each candy will be in each bag.

We are told that:

She has 24 lollipops, 12 candy bars, and 42 pieces of gum.

Hence,

For Lollipops = 24 lollipops ÷ 6 bags = 4 lollipops per bag

For Candy bars = 12 candy bars ÷ 6 bags = 2 candy bars per bag

For gum = 42 pieces of gum ÷ 6 bags =

7 pieces of gum per bag

A sector of a circle of 7cm has an area of 44cm².calculate the angle of the sector,correct to the nearest degree π =22\7​
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

\theta=102.85^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The radius of circle, r = 7 cm

The area of sector, A = 44cm²

We need to find the angle of the sector. The formula for the area of sector is given by :

A=\dfrac{\theta}{360}\pi r^2

Solve for \theta.

\theta=\dfrac{360A}{\pi r^2}\\\\\theta=\dfrac{360\times 44}{\dfrac{22}{7}\times 7^2}\\\\\theta=102.85^{\circ}

So, the angle of the sector is equal to 102.85^{\circ}.

Which relation is a function?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The bottom right option

Step-by-step explanation:

Functions need each input to map to exactly one output. Graphically speaking, this means that any two points on the function cannot have the same x-coordinate.

Given this, the bottom right option is the only one that fits these circumstances.
