This question belongs to greatest common factor.
49 = 7*7
56 = 7*8
So Greatest common factor = 7
Hence Susan can arrange 7 mugs on one shelf.
For 49 blue mugs, Susan can arrange 7 mugs in 7 shelves.
For 56 red mugs, Susan can arrange 7 mugs on 8 shelves.
Hence, 7 shelves are needed for BLUE mugs and 8 shelves are needed for RED mugs.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to set each runner's plan equal to each other because they are equal in the end. You start with 7 miles for Angelo and 4 miles for Marc.
x is a variable that is multiplied by the number of weeks it takes for both runners' distances to be equal. So multiply x by the miles increased every week.
Marc = Angelo
2x + 4 = x + 7
x = 3
In 3 weeks each runner will run 10 miles for the week.
Answer:
Last one
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is to find out how many times 1/4 is equal to 1 1/2
First lets convert the total:
1 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
now we need to find out a number that multiplied by 1/4 gives 3/2, that is an equation:
(1/4)x = 3/2
and solving for x:
x = (3/2)*4
x = 12/2
x = 6
therefore they will take 6 days to repave the whole street
