Answer:

4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess, the meaning is the largest marbles, so that we can pave the whole floor without cutting any marbles and leaving empty spots.

so, 20×16 ft²

we can have marbles 1/2 ft long. and it all fits well : 40×32 marbles.

we can have them 1 ft long, and it all fits well : 20×16 marbles.

we can have them 2ft long, and it still fits well : 10×8 marbles.

and so on.

so, actually, we are looking for the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 20 and 16. and that gives us the maximum length of a single marble to fulfill the requirement.

let's go for the prime factors starting with 2

20/2 = 10

10/2 = 5

5/3 fits not work

5/5 = 1 done

so, 20 = 2²×3⁰×5¹

16/2 = 8

8/2 = 4

4/2 = 2

2/2 = 1 done

16 = 2⁴

so, for the GCD I can only use powers of 2 (the only prime factors both numbers have in common).

and we have to use the smaller power of 2, which is 2, so, the GCD is 2² = 4

=>

the maximum length of the squared marbles is 4 ft.

that would pave the floor with 5×4 marbles completely.

A radio station requires DJs to play 3 commercials for every 18 songs they play. What is the unit rate of songs to commercials?
bulgar [2K]
6 songs

The way to find this answer is to divide 18 by 3, which is six, which means that after every six songs a commercial is played. 

Hope this was helpful and that I explained it correctly.

Can someone help me
Deffense [45]

Answer:

w = 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of the triangle is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} base × height

here base = 6 and height = 8, thus

A = 0.5 × 6 × 8 = 3 × 8 = 24 cm²

The area of the rectangle = 5 × 24 = 120 cm²

area of rectangle = lw ( l is length, w is width )

Here l = 12, thus

120 = 12w ( divide both sides by 12 )

w = 10 cm
