Answer:

Trish is right because i doesn't matter. It eventually simplifies down to 2x2x2x2x3. What ever path u take it will significantly simplify to that so that is correct.

Hope this helps plz hit the crown :D

Answer:

If we start with 6 and 8, we can break 6 up into 2*3 and 8 into 2*2*2, thus getting a prime factorization of 2*2*2*2*3, or 2^4 *3.

If we begin with 4 and 12, 4 breaks into 2*2 and 12 into 2*2*3, so the prime factorization of 48 is still 2^4 *3.

The starting factors do not matter, since the answer comes out to be the same. There is exactly one correct answer- it doesn't matter how it's found.

Hope this helps! :)

You drive 75 miles and use 3 gallons of gas, at the same ratio, how may miles can you drive with 12 gallons of gas?
umka2103 [35]

When you say "at the same ratio", you mean that you consume the same amount of gas for the same amount of miles.

We know that everytime you drive 75 miles, you use 3 gallons of gas.

Since 12 gallons of gas is four times 3 gallons of gas, if the ratio remains the same, you can drive four times the distance:

You drive 75 miles, and use 3 gallons.

You drive 75 more miles (so you are at 75+75 = 150 miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use 3+3 = 6 gallons.

You drive 75 more miles (so you are at 150+75 = 225 miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use 6+3 = 9 gallons.

You drive 75 more miles (so you are at 225+75 = 300 miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use 9+3 = 12 gallons, and you're done.

Which data type is variable 'a' as per below code?(numeric/non-numeric) Dim a as integer a=10 for grade 7 Computer
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The answer is "numeric".

Step-by-step explanation:

The Dim keyword is used in Visual Basic which is used to establish the dependent variable and other information such as the code that the variable may access the variables, computer utilizes the statement Dim. The dimensions are brief and then used to define variables. The Dim statement is placed just after sub definition only at the start of a VBA module (short for Subroutine).The variable to hold an integer value is seen in the above example.
