The answer to the question
To find the greatest common factor, you take the factors of each and find which is the greatest in both. So: the factors of 37 are (1, 37). The factors of 12 are (1, 12); (2, 6); and (3, 4). In this case, the greatest factor the have in common is simply: <u>1</u>.
Answer:
B. (12.0, 85.0) There were 12.0 pounds of peanuts and 85.0 pounds of pecans sold at the fair
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the first equation from the second:
1.85n = 157.25
n = 157.25/1.85 = 85 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of n
Only one answer choice has 85 pounds of pecans—the one shown above.
