Answer:

a) 16 cm, b) 37 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

Finding the largest divisor of 160, 192 and 240

160 divisors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 32, 40, 80 and 160.

// You can alternatively find them by factor pairs, which are (1, 160), (2, 80), (4, 40), (5, 32), (8, 20) & (10, 16). This way is much more faster. Also, you can simply search them in metanumbers.com

192 divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96 and 192

240 divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120 and 240

The largest divider that they all have in common is 16.

So 16 cm is the largest possible length of each of the shorter pieces of

rope

Part b

Now we have to count how many 16 cm pieces of rope can we get from the large rope pieces, which lengths are 160 cm, 192 cm and 240 cm

160/16 + 192/16 + 240/16 = 10 + 12 + 15 = 37

The answer is 37 pieces

I will mark the Best or first answer as brainliest.

Vlada [557]

It is between 3.1 and 3.17 or 3.2 if you want it by hundredths.

This is because 3.16 is 3.1600000 and many more zeros but 3.16227766 is slightly over that so it would be between 3.1 and 3.17.

To solve the equation 5sin(2x)=3cosx, you should rewrite it as___.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the equation:

$5\sin(2x)=3\cos(x)$

To do so, we can rewrite the equation.

Recall the double-angle for sine:

$\sin(2x)=2\sin(x)\cos(x)$

By substitution:

$5\left(2\sin(x)\cos(x)\right)=3\cos(x)$

Distribute:

$10\sin(x)\cos(x)=3\cos(x)$

We can subtract 3cos(x) from both sides:

$10\sin(x)\cos(x)-3\cos(x)=0$

And factor:

$\cos(x)\left(10\sin(x)-3\right)=0$

Hence, our answer is A.

*It is important to note that we should not divide both sides by cos(x) to acquire 10sin(x) = 3. This is because we need to find the values of x, and one or more may result in cos(x) = 0, and we cannot divide by 0. Hence, we should subtract and then factor.
