Well to do this, we need to know the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8. Lets list the factors out.
6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36
8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48
As we can see, the least common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24.
Now we know that there are 8 plates per package and 8 goes into 24 3 times, so naturally Shaniya needs 3 packages of plates
Hope this helped!!! :)
I think it should be an= 49x3^(n-1)
This differs on what number you want to talk about. 1 is the hundreds, 8 is the tenths, 7 is the ones.
This is a right triangle equation
so a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c^2 is the hypotenuse and the 15 feet
a^2 + 9^2 = 15^2
a^2 + 81 = 225
a^2 = 144
the square root of 144 is 12
the tree is 12 feet tall
