Answer: The smallest possible number is 136.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You need to find the Least common multiple (LCM), which is the smallest of the common multiples of 17 and 8.
2. You can descompose 17 and 8 into primes factors. Then, you obtain:
3. Now, you must choose commons and no commons with the greatest exponent and multiply them. Therefore the result is:
1 game has 3 bags of green chips ; 2 bags of red chips ; 5 bags of yellow chips
1 bag: 25 green chips
1 bag: 30 red chips
total number of chips:
green: 3 x 25 = 75
red: 2 x 30 = 60
yellow: 75 + 60 = 135 answer to part a.
75 + 60 + 135 = 270 total number of chips.
270 / 54 = 5 players. answer to part b.
Each of the 5 players will have 15 green chips, 12 red chips, and 27 yellow chips, for a total of 54 chips.
Answer:
-10
Step-by-step explanation:
divide both sides by -4
simplify to v+8=-2
subtract 8 from both sides
v=-10
So if a person has 1/8 of a pitcher then you have 8 people per pitcher. Then if you have 5 pitchers you do 5 x 8 and get 40 so 40 people will be served. Hope this helps :)
