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 [
2
⋅
2
] of 3 girls [12/4] and 4 boys [16/4] )
Answer:
110degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question
Q4: If x and y are two supplementary angles whereas m<x=70 then find the m<y.
The sum of two supplementary angles is 180degrees, hence;
m<x + m<y = 180
70 + m<y = 180
m<y = 180 - 70
m<y = 110degrees
Hence the measure of ,=m<y is 110degrees
Answer:
(1,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? y = 7 x − 3
a. (1,4) b. (-1,-4) c. both d. neither
Solution
y=7x-3
Solve by trying each ordered pair
a. (1,4)
x=1, y=4
Substituting the value of x and y into the equation
y=7x-3
4=7(1)-3
4=7-3
4=4
This is a true statement
b. (-1,-4)
x=-1, y=-4
Substitute the value into the equation
y=7x-3
-4=7(-1)-3
-4= -7-3
-4= -11
This is not a true statement
This true statement is when x=1 and y=4
So, the ordered pair (1, 4) is the solution
