Answer:

<h3>6 inches</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

If Casey and Stephanie order a rectangular cake of dimension 24in by 18in, to get the side length of the largest piece of square, we will find the greatest common factor of both dimension as shown:

24 = 2 * 2 * (2 * 3)

24 =  (2 * 3) * 4

24 = 6*4

18 = (2*3)*3

18 = 6*3

From both factors you an see that the common GCF is 6. This shows that the length of the largest square pieces into which Casey and Stephanie can cut the cake is 6 inches.

svetoff [14.1K]
It’s B
If y-x=6
Y +X =_10
then y= 6 + x, instead of y insert this no
6+ x+ x =-10
6 + 2x =-10 then collect like terms
2x =-10-6
2x=-16 then multiple both side by 1/2
X=-8
Y=6+x instead of x insert -8
Y=6-8
=-2

2/3 minus 16/32 what’s the answer
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

LCD = 96

2(32) - 16(3)/ 3(32) = 64 - 48/96

= 16/96

Simplify:

16/ 16 = 1

96/16 = 6

2/3 - 16/32 = 1/6

Sorry if my work might seem confusing. If it is, then try searching "fraction calculator." It really helps :)
