Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.
<u>a.</u>
As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find <u>GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72. </u>
First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

The common factors are: 2, 2 and 3
Thus the GCF 
So, the greatest possible length of the pieces without having any cloth left over will be 12 inches.
<u>b. </u>
For finding the number of pieces for each color cloth, we will just <u>divide the length of each cloth by 12</u>. So...
Number of pieces for blue cloth 
Number of pieces for gold cloth
and
Number of pieces for white cloth 
In the question, there are certain information's that are of immense importance in regards to finding the answer. The first information is that Jose Rivera had purchased 7 textbooks for his classes at River Run Community College. The price that Jose Rivera had to pay was $208.55. The average cost per textbook needs to be found.
The cost of 7 textbooks purchased by Jose Rivera = 208.55 dollars
Then
The cost of 1 textbook purchased by Jose Rivera = (208.55/7) dollars
= 29.79 dollars
The average cost of a textbook purchased by Jose Rivera rounded to the nearest cent is 29.80 dollars.
Answer:
They both have H hoel
Step-by-step explanation:
\
Students on the minibus = 8
students that are boys = 5
fraction of the student that are boys = ?
we can write fraction as the numerator and denominator so here the fraction of boys students is = 5/8
this fraction means and shows that there are 5 students are boys from 8 students.
Answer:
3/14
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the ratio of a to b, or a/b
9/17 = 3a/ (a+b)
Multiply each side by 17
17*9/17 =17* 3a/ (a+b)
9 = 51 a/ (a+b)
Multiply each side by (a+b)
9 (a+b) = 51a
Distribute the 9
9a +9b = 51a
Subtract 9a from each side
9a-9a +9b =51a-9a
9b = 42a
Divide each side by b
9b/b = 42a/b
9 = 42a/b
Divide each side by 42
9/42 = a/b
But we can simplify 9/42 because each is divisible by 3, so divide 9 and 42 by 3
3/14 = a/b
