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>

Which of the following is a true statement about the equation y= -7/8x+10
-BARSIC- [3]
First of all we can rule out that the slope is 10. The coefficient before the x term is not 10 so the answer is not a.

Following on what I said for option a, option b is correct as the coefficient before the x term is -7/8. Therefore the answer is B.

The answer is not C as when x = 0, y is not 0. This means the line does not pass through the origin (0,0)

Option D is not true aswell. When x = 1, y= 9.125. When x= 2, y= 8.25. When x=3, y= 7.375. X is increasing whereas y is decreasing. Therefore option D is ruled out.

The answer is option B.

I hope this has helped you.
