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
⋅
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 [

] of 3 girls [12/4] and 4 boys [16/4] )
112 dallors interest beca0.02x + 0.04(800) = 112 0.02x + 0.04(x + 800) = 112 0.04x + 0.02(x + 800) = 112 use
Answer:
8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Area of a rectangle</u> = <em>Width</em> multiplied by Length
Substitute in all the known numbers into this formula to get
<u>72</u> = <em>(9)</em> × 
Solve the equation for x, to find out the length
Length of the rectangle =
Answer:
18 units
Step-by-step explanation:
So let's list out the sides.
for the first square let's just call them x
for the second square then they would be x+5 and x-3
So let's write out their areas we will cal the area of the first one z
x*x = z
(x+5)*(x-3) = z+21
since z = x^2 we can set up the second equation as a quadratic.
(x+5)*(x-3) = x^2 + 21
x^2 - 3x + 5x - 15 = x^2 + 21
But look, the x^2s cancel out
2x - 15 = 21
2x = 36
x = 18
Test it out and see if it fits the description, And if you don't understand anything just let me know so I can explain more.
