Answer: 240 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

My answer is correct because, if 1 cm =15 miles and the distance is 16 cm apart, then all we have to do is multiply 16 times 15 (since there are 15 miles in 1 cm and theres 16 cm.) 15 x 16=240 so the naswer is 240 Miles!

Hope This Helps!

Answer:

240 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you are going to determine the ratio of centimeters to miles (1:15)

Since there are 15 miles to every centimeter, you may create an equation like this to help: 15 x c = m (m being miles and c being centimeters)

This means that for every centimeter there are 15 miles.

Since the distance between Town A and Town B is 16 centimeters, you may replace the variable "c" with 16 like so: 15 x 16 = m

Because there are 15 miles for every centimeter, you may multiply the centimeters by 15 to get the distance, using the aforementioned equation of 15 x 16 = m. 15 times 16 is 240.

Therefore there are 240 miles separating Town A and Town B.

Hope this helps!

Use the Euclidean Algorithm to demonstrate that 621 and 82 are relatively prime to each other. Explain.

Answer:

621 and 82 are relatively prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two integers are relatively prime (or coprime) if there is no integer greater than one that divides them both (that is, their greatest common divisor is one).

The greatest common divisor of two integers a and b is the largest integer that divides them both.

The Euclidean algorithm is an efficient method for computing the greatest common divisor of two integers, without explicitly factoring the two integers.

The Euclidean algorithm solves the problem:

Given integers a, b find $d=gcd(a,b)$

The Euclidean algorithm provides a fast way to determine d without knowing the prime factors of a or b. Here is an outline of the steps:

Let $a=x$ , $b=y$
Given x, y, use the division algorithm to write $x=yq+r, \quad 0\leq r\leq |y|$ .
If r = 0, stop and output y; this is the gcd of a, b.
If $r \neq 0$ , replace (x, y) by (y, r). Go to step 2.

The division algorithm is an algorithm in which given 2 integers N and D, it computes their quotient Q and remainder R.

Let's say we have to divide N (dividend) by D (divisor). We will take the following steps:

Step 1: Subtract D from N repeatedly until we get a result that lies between 0 (inclusive) and D (exclusive) and is the smallest non-negative number obtained by repeated subtraction.

Step 2: The resulting number is known as the remainder R, and the number of times that D is subtracted is called the quotient Q.

Applying the above steps,

$621-82=539\\539-82=457\\457-82=375\\375-82=293\\293-82=211\\211-82=129\\129-82=47\\\\621=82\cdot7+47$
