The factors are just numbers that can be multiplied to receive the number that is given.
The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.
1 × 24 = 24
2 × 12 = 24
3 × 8 = 24
4 × 6 = 24
Answer: 2 2/3 cups of flour
Step-by-step explanation: If one batch represents 1/4 of the total number of cookies he needs, then it can be deduced that he needs four total batches. If it requires 2/3 cups of flour for each batch and he needs 4 batches, you would multiply 2/3 by 4 to get the answer.
2/3 × 4 = 2 2/3
There's no need to get into an ethical morass over math homework.

M is 20% less than N means
M is 100-20=80% of N
M=0.80 N
M/N = 0.8 = 4/5
Ratio: 4/5

When we know <em>a, </em>the average, and <em>n, </em>how many numbers there are, we know the sum <em>s</em>, because <em>a=s/n </em>so <em>s=na.</em>
So the sum of our six numbers is 6(3.5)=21 so the sum of the seven numbers is 21+4.2=25.2 so the average is 25.2/7 = 3.6
Answer: 3.6

|2p + 4 | < 3
At p=-2 the absolute value is zero. As p gets more negative the absolute value argument (inside part) gets negative and the absolute value gets bigger, more positive. Eventually the inside will be exactly -3, when
2p +4 = -3
2p = -7
p = -7/2 = -3 1/2
So p=-4 will make the inequality false, and p=-3 is the smallest integer that makes the inequality true.
Answer: -3

The distance from the origin is given by the Pythagorean Theorem and this one is a 3/4/5 right triangle:
Answer: .5 or 1/2
Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
2x4= 8
Step-by-step explanation:
the max. value is when the smaller set (A) is completely contained in the larger set (B).
then n(A n B) is n(A) = 50.
the set intersection between A and B cannot get bigger than that. or A gets bigger ...
after all, the intersection means it is a set of all elements that exist in BOTH sets.
but then there must be other elements besides A and B in the universal set too, because n(universal set) = 96, and n(A u B) would be only 60.
the min. value could be the empty set or 0. but because n(universal set) = 96, and n(A) + n(B) = 110 and larger than 96, it means that there have to be some shared elements. at least 110 - 96 = 14 elements.
in this case there cannot be other elements in the universal set than A and B. and n(universal set) = n(AuB) = 96.
