QUESTION : \frac{3}{5} = \frac{24}{a}. What I would do is divide 24 by 3, and once you do that, your answer is 8. So that leads you to the conclusion that 8 is multiplied by 3 to get 24. Move down to the 5 and the a. If the numerator of the first fraction is multiplied by 8 to get the numerator of the second fraction, then you can sure as heck believe that the same applies to both denominators.

So I would say you multiply 5 with 8. 5 × 8 is 40, and so a = 40.

You are making fruit baskets using 54 apples, 36 oranges, and 73 bananas. a. Explain why you cannot make identical fruit baskets
GrogVix [38]
Question 1:
73 is a prime number. It can only be divided by 1 and by itself. 

The GCF of the three numbers:
 54                               36                            73
1×54                           1×36                          1×73
2×27                          2×18
3×18                           3×12
6×9                            4×9
                                   6×6

GCF of 54, 36 and 73  is 1

GCF of 54 and 36 is 18

If we divide 54 apples into 18 baskets, we have 3 apples in each basket
If we divide 36 oranges into 18 baskets, we have 2 oranges in each basket
If we divide 73 bananas into 18 baskets, we have 4 bananas in each basket + one banana left over.

So the greatest number of identical fruit baskets we can make with the least amount of fruit left over is 18 baskets

Or an angle θ with the point (−20, −21) on its terminating side, what is the value of cosine?
kherson [118]
Cos(θ) = -20/√((-20)^2 +(-21)^2)
.. = -20/-√841 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . θ is a 4th-quadrant angle, so cos(θ) > 0
.. = 20/29

The value of the cosine is 20/29.
