So 72 pencils and 24 calculators
so greates number of identical calculators
this means
what is the biggest number that we can divide 72 and 24 by and get a whole number
this is called the GCM or greatest common multipule
to find the GCM, you factor 72 and group the like ones
72=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 3
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3
so the common group is 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 or 24
so the greates number of packs is 24
so pencils
72 divided by 24=72/24=3
3 pencils per pack
24 divided by 24=24/24=1
1 calulator per pack
answer is 3 pencils and 1 calculator per pack
Answer:
2 and 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be length of the small piece and y the length of the big one.
● y = 5x
Since the big piece is 5 times longer than the short one.
The total length is 12 ft
● y + x = 12
● 5x + x = 12
● 6x = 12
Divide both sides by 6
● 6x/6 = 12/6
● x = 2
So the length of the two pieces are 2 ft and 10 ft (5×2)

Answer:
30 more bags
Step-by-step explanation:
12/3=4
4 divided by 17/18 equals to 4* 18/17=72/17= 4 4/17
Thus the answer is 4 4/17
