Answer:

<em>8cm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  three pieces of string of length 16 cm, 56 cm and 24 cm respectively. To get the the greatest length that each piece of string can be if she wants to cut the three lengths of string into smaller pieces such that all the pieces are of equal length, with no string left over, we will have to find the greatest common factor for the three lengths

16 = 2 * 8

56 = 7 * 8

24 = 3 * 8

Since 8 is common to all the factors, hence the greatest common factor is 8.

<em>Hence the greatest length that each piece of string can be, in cm is 8cm</em>

How many significant digits are there in 17.0
svet-max [94.6K]
The answer is three significant figures. The 1 and the 7 are both significant, because they are non-zero quantities.
This is where significant figures gets a little more complicated, because if a zero is used as a placeholder (i.e. 0.00027 cm) then it is insignificant.
But in the case above, the zero isn't being used as a placeholder, and thus, is significant.

5x-3=21-x please someone answer ​
wolverine [178]

Answer:

X=4 Hope it helps Lol

Step-by-step explanation:

  5*x-3-(21-x)=0

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  6x - 24  =   6 • (x - 4)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

2.1      Solve :    6   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2      Solve  :    x-4 = 0

Add  4  to both sides of the equation :

                     x = 4

One solution was found :

                  x = 4
